Players in Dune: Awakening's singleplayer mode report that the game pauses all activities, including base machinery and crafting timers, when moving off map into areas like the deep desert. This pause affects critical resource management such as water, disrupting gameplay flow and immersion. The mechanic does not appear in multiplayer, suggesting it may be a CPU load management feature. This issue frustrates players by breaking pacing and could benefit from developer review to improve the singleplayer experience.
- Pauses affect crafting and resource timers in singleplayer.
- Multiplayer mode does not exhibit this pause behavior.
