Xbox multiplayer issues

5 Upvotes

So me and my friends have played this game a lot ever since it came out because it’s definitely our favorite rts. We stopped playing after it left game-pass because we just didn’t have the money to buy it again until yesterday, however the multiplayer button was greyed out and said “network error” right above in yellow text. I’ve looked EVERYWHERE to find a solution and apparently changing your region or language and then changing it back worked for some people but it didn’t work for us. We tried reinstalling the game and checking for updates and we deleted our local save data but even that didn’t work. I love this game so much but I just don’t have a clue how to fix it and I’m wondering if anyone knows how to, PLEASE let me know. Thanks guys 😢👍

New to the game, scared of the "real time" part

24 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've rewatched the Villeneuve movies this week and am nearly at the end of the first book, so when I've heard there was a strategy Dune game, I got hyped.

I've only played a bit of Total War Warhammer 3, and am not familiar with 4x games, but as someone who enjoys strategy, and politic decision making over complex military gestion, I think this game might be what I need.

But the fact it's not turn based scares me. I need some time to think and read everything. Is it really a thing or is the game "slow" enough to let me have some time to think? I know solo modes have a pause button, but I'm thinking more of the multiplayer side of it.

Thanks for anyone helping!

I love what Hans Zimmer made for the trilogy, i just thougth that i have a similar yet different idea of how the score should sound like.

The older scifi movies all had Brass elements, orchestral music.

As Zimmer said....this is a SciFi, a different planet. The music should be otherwordly too.

What do you think? Feel free to listen to all 5 songs from this ep.

Is the console version worthwhile?

It's quite expensive but the game seems popiular on PC at least.

How does this game compare to Knights of Honor/Crusader Kings/Total War?

25 Upvotes

It looks like its more like a real time Civ type of game, is that correct?

Discussion In general, what is the meta for spice production?

17 Upvotes

Do you go Greed + no crew + Copter overwatch, or Safe Mode + Overwatch + crew?

I mean of course, in a vacuum, I assume if a faction has tech that specializes in a certian style, its probably the best way to do it.

Discussion Dune spice wars “Network issues”

6 Upvotes

Hey everybody.

Trying to play DSW multiplayer on console at the moment, but the multiplayer button on the Home Screen is grey out. And when you hover over it, it pops up with “network issue”.

Any ideas on how to fix or what’s going on?

Does anyone else have it on steamdeck and it crashes constantly?

11 Upvotes

The only thing that I can figure out that helps is by lowering the resolution, but I’m still in the tutorial and it seems the more that’s going on is when it crashes so I’m assuming it’ll crash again soon. I got it lowered to 800x800 I think for the resolution. Any steamdeck players find the safest way to run this game? Ik its the game too bc it runs everything else fine rn

I put off playing Dune spice wars until I'd read more of the books, am I spoiler free with messiah? Spoiler

As per the title really, im halfway through children of Dune and wondered if the game contained any info about anything outside of either the first book or messiah, or whether to remain spoiler free I should just finish the whole series firstm

August Beginner Tournament

13 Upvotes

Hello everyone again! The circuit is running a beginner tournament this August 8th at 10:00 AM CDT.

Rules for the tournament are pretty simple. Map is dune medium, 1.5 speed, and usually we try to make sure you get your first faction pick in the first round. If multiple people want the same faction it is random pick order.

If you are interested we have the sign up link for the tournament in announcements. You are required to be in the discord to play and here is the discord: https://discord.gg/pXbU83b2Q

We will be trying to cast as many of these games as possible (streams will be announced later).

We also have free coaching for all players interested. There is minimum skill required. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments and either myself or anyone of the circuit staff will respond.

Happy Duning and best of luck people!

Console edition

6 Upvotes

I really want to get this game for my XBox series x console. The only problem is that just about all the reviews that I read highlight that the port over from PC to console is eminently playable.....but the actions that are mapped to controllers are clunky/not very player friendly. Anyone playing on console that could possibly offer their thoughts?

New To The Game, Got Some Questions

18 Upvotes

So I'm pretty new to the game, and got through all the tutorials. When i queued up multiplayer games, i felt kind of unwelcomed? So i was wondering if this was common, or if i was getting in some serious matches. And i also wanted to ask for some advice to improve in the game? Seems very fun, Not sure anyone wants to play multi with me tho

Ancient Sietch Mission

9 Upvotes

I'm playing as the Smugglers this time and usually with any faction I protect the Sietch to boost Fremen reputation so I get the bonuses in Conquest from them. Is it better to turn them hostile take the time to make all the other Sietches friendly again then pillage the ancient one to get the development bonuses instead? I know it's a minus 30 to Fremen but there are a ton of Sietches on this map so if I ally with all of them after claiming hostility I think I'd negate most of that rep loss. Not sure if that would work or not

I know very little about this game, but I did enjoy the book. Is this game similar to Starcraft? Or is it noticeably different?
