Players of Dune: Awakening have reported a sharp decline in single-player performance following recent updates. Despite using high-end hardware like the NVIDIA 4080 GPU and Intel i9-14900KF CPU, some experience smooth gameplay for only about 30 seconds before heavy stuttering and framerate drops to roughly half the normal rate. The issue appears linked to the latest NVIDIA driver update, raising concerns about compatibility or optimization problems affecting even top-tier systems. This impacts player experience and may require developer or driver fixes.
- Issue occurs shortly after gameplay starts, with framerate halving.
- Latest NVIDIA driver update suspected as cause.
