Separate test branch
Public Test Client
Dune’s Public Test Client is a separate testing environment. Funcom publishes branch-specific patch notes, including 1.3.0.0 in December 2025 and 1.5.15.0 in September 2026. Test features and progression tools should be treated separately from the live game. Consult the current PTC notice for access and build details.
Access requirements can change between tests; consult Funcom’s current Public Test Client notice before installing.
Compatibility of modifications with the live game does not establish compatibility with the Public Test Client.
