A player in the Dune: Awakening community has inquired whether the BattleEye anti-cheat system can be disabled on dedicated private servers hosting only trusted players, such as themselves and close friends or family. The request aims to reduce the performance overhead and update requirements that come with running BattleEye, which may be unnecessary in a controlled, cheat-free environment. This question highlights a growing interest among private server hosts in optimizing server performance by potentially removing anti-cheat software when trust is established. As of July 2026, no official option to disable BattleEye on private servers has been announced.
