Since patch 1.5.20.0 (November 9, 2026) and hotfix 1.5.20.1 (November 10), Dune: Awakening single-player can run with no internet connection at all. Funcom also lists open issues that hit solo players directly. Let’s compare what actually happens on your setup.

What Funcom says officially:
- Offline: create, delete and play single-player characters without a connection; a “Go Online” button takes you back online. Bought DLCs are not available while fully offline.
- Single-player custom server settings are now saved to the cloud. But the Known Issues page (November 9, 2026) still warns that if you turned off the Sandworm or Building Stability, logging in on another device can switch them back on and cause irreversible progress loss.
- Error MM3 after playing on another device: “Change Server” in the Characters tab, then pick your Sietch manually. Xbox: single-player autosaves may fail to load.
- Open crash causes on PC: AMD Adrenalin 26.6.2 (roll back), Intel Core 13th/14th Gen (BIOS update), DLSS with Overwolf (disable one of them).
Questions for players:
- Have you played fully offline yet? Did your existing solo character and base load normally?
- Did your custom settings (Sandworm, Building Stability, others) survive a switch between two devices, or did they reset?
- Did you hit error MM3 or the Xbox autosave issue? Did Funcom’s workaround help?
- Did 1.5.20.0/1.5.20.1 end your crashes (hologram, Fallen Light boss, friends list, Recycle)? If not, which GPU, driver version and CPU are you on?
- Is the menu stutter really gone on your PC or console?
Please post your platform, GPU/driver and patch version, and label anything unconfirmed as such.
