Dune: Awakening is an MMO, which means that a constant and consistent internet connection is required. It’s a massive hit on Steam with nearly 120K concurrent players ahead of its main release, and the support from developers has been quite solid. That said, there are some issues.
Like any major multiplayer release, there are bound to be connection and technical errors, especially in the first few weeks. From server maintenance to outages, you’ll be seeing a bunch of random error codes as you try to connect back to Arrakis.
Here are all the possible network error codes you can run into while playing Dune: Awakening and what you can do to fix them.
Dune Awakening Connection Error Codes
| Error Code | Error Message | What It Means | How to fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| P34 | Connection Request Timed Out | This means that the client couldn’t connect to the server. It could mean: Dune Servers are currently offline Your network connection to the server was lost. | Check Dune Awakening’s Twitter/Facebook to see if there isn’t an ongoing maintenance. Make sure your internet connection is active, and restart your modem if needed. Ensure that no firewall rules are interfering. Try again after a while. |
| H74 | Connection Lost | The connection between the client and server was lost. | Disable any packet sharing software like CFosSpeed. Make sure your network drivers are updated. Make sure your internet connection is active, and restart your modem if needed. |
| 873 | High Server Load | The server is under heavy demand and can’t be reached at the moment. | Try connecting to the servers after a few minutes. Avoid playing at peak hours if possible. |
| P64 | Kicked by Anti-cheat | Dune Awakening detected something irregular that triggered an anti-cheat response. | Verify Game Files Open Steam and navigate to your library Here, right-click on Dune: Awakening and select Properties In the Installed Files tab, click on Verify integrity of game files Close any non-essential applications, especially ones with overlays. |
| Q62 | Login Failed Due to Network Issues | This indicates a failure to log in, which is usually caused by network-related conflicts on your system. | Disable any packet sharing software like CFosSpeed. Make sure your network drivers are updated. |
If the recommended solutions don’t work for you, I recommend sending your session log file to the developers. You can find the log file below:
C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\DuneSandbox\Saved\Logs
They’ll get back to you with potential solutions and help identify what’s causing the problem. In my experience, connecting to the servers in Dune: Awakening has been pretty reliable, aside from a few minor instances that went away after I logged in after a few minutes.
