If you, too, have found yourself suddenly missing a boatload of hotly coveted resources out in the sandy landscapes of survival MMO Dune: Awakening, you may be entitled to a time out and a chill pill while the devs figure out what's causing this resource bug.

Addressing some hubbub in the game's community, Dune: Awakening developer Funcom said it's "investigating an issue with traveling after the latest patch that could result in the loss of inventory items."

There's an old trailer where Nintendo – shilling a new Kirby game for 3DS, I seem to recall – advises players to engage in local co-op by physically passing their handheld to another person, and this Dune: Awakening workaround somehow reminds me of that. Sure, I guess that works. But have you got anything more convenient and less contrived?

Dune: Awakening player says "there IS sandwalking" in the survival MMO to avoid the big ol' worm – and "if you do it just right, you can cross any distance" in Arrakis.
