Dune: Spice Wars - Community Update #2 Out Now!

Hey Everyone!

Community Update #2 has arrived on Arrakis! As usual, the changes are based on community feedback/sentiments, read on to find out more...

[h2]Conquest[/h2]

Faction specific councilors with text dialogs & voiceover have been added. They will appear when launching a new conquest, during every mission, and at the end of each conquest.



The goal is to improve both the immersion and personality of each faction, and give a better narrative feel to the conquest.
A new mission, “Skirmish”, has been added.



[h2]Faction Selection[/h2]
The single player faction selection screen has been improved, adding new shortcuts & making each faction more visible.



[h2]Quick Start[/h2]
For experienced players that want to skip the early game, we’ve added a “quick start” option, available both in single player and multiplayer skirmishes. You start with increased resources and more map knowledge.



[h2]Multiplayer[/h2]
We’ve dramatically reduced the bandwidth use in multiplayer, in order to decrease lag, especially during the endgame phase.

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a crash on startup that affected new versions of the Steam Deck
  
• Fixed a crash when starting a lobby
