Did anyone else just get disconnected from their server without warning?? I just did and it gave me the reasoning of Patch or Planned Maintenance.

It's occurred to me recently that there doesn't really appear to be any higher grade pants/permits for pants popping up in the exchange. The best I keep seeing is like Ix-Core Leggings and that is only ever at a grade 3. I have never seen a grade 4 or grade 5 in any leggings at all, which I thought was odd. I see grade 5 chest armor, helmets, and gloves for both light and heavy armor sets but never anything above a grade 3 on leggings, and I think I've only seen light armor leggings at grade 3. (I could be wrong about that bit and just not remember seeing heavy armor leggings grade 3.) I am sure I've never seen grade 4 or 5 leggings. Do those drop from the testing stations?? Do we need another small fix to the drop rates of things in the testing stations to correct this? I would love to find some good grade 4 or 5 leggings out there.

So there is a message on the main menu about how we should be getting double the duration out of our power generation from July 1st through August 31st. I just fueled up my power plants and they continue to say 31 days and change. Is it still supposed to say that? I figured it would say 62 days or thereabouts. Is it a glitch and the power will actually run for 62ish days or did this duration change just not kick in like it was supposed to?

I know this is probably an odd question but does anyone know where I can get Harkonnen and/or Atriedes house swatches for the radiation suit? I have all the other house swatches for heavy/light armor and the radiation suits. I even have the Atriedes and Harkonnen swatches for the heavy/light armor sets but I don't have them for the radiation suit. I've had interactions on here with other players that say they have those swatches and I would very much like to complete my set. Where can I get those swatches? I'll fight for them or just buy them. It's all good to me!

I'm watching a guy on Twitch that is streaming the game. It's maybe his third play through of the game so he's pretty knowledgeable. He's playing with a friend that's very new to the game so all of it is quite fun.

Anyway, he's been trying to craft stuff and he's come across an interesting glitch. The crafting menu is showing double what he actually has on him. Like, he was making some darts from his inventory but the number in his inventory is like 18 while the crafting menu says he has 36. It even says he can craft the darts but when he tries to craft it doesn't actually craft the darts.

I think that this might be a new glitch that came along with last night's patch but I was wondering if anyone else has come across this one. I personally haven't encountered it and it seems moderately annoying more than anything.

I know I'm probably in the minority but I enjoy the various radio stations in the game, especially when I'm playing without my friends. Of the few radio stations in the game I think I enjoy Harvester Radio the most. I mean, Atreides radio has some good shows, and Harkonnen Radio has The Man Trap, but Harvester radio's shows are chill and just more entertaining to me. That being said, there are two shows on Harvester Radio that I think end at least one episode short of completion.

The first is "Five Days at Carthag." The last episode of the show I've ever heard ends as the rioting really gets going. We never get to hear the city shattering KABOOM. It just ends with the guy in charge and his family trying to get away from the riotous mob just outside their ground car. They "Engage the battering ram!" and that's it. I really want to know what happened next!

The second one is "Death on the Titan." This is another one that just ends abruptly. I feel like the next episode of the show would have revealed the killer (tho I think I might have worked out what was going on but it's all speculation on my part) and gotten the spice flowing again.

I don't know if Funcom will ever add to those shows on the Communinet but I hope they do, as they have done a couple times thus far in the first year of the game, and if they do I hope they give us the ends of those two shows. I really want to hear what happens!

So I've had a couple small subjects on my mind in the last few days and I have a couple questions to ask.

First, what is the point of the ADS function of the static compactor?? I know it expands the targeting reticle but does it do anything else? If not, I think something cool would be if you were to right-click (if on mouse & keyboard) and it show you the area it's going to compact! That way you can see exactly what spice sand or flour sand you are going to compact so as to not miss any and have to go back for small spots.

And Lastly, how does everyone unlock House Vernius for Landsraad missions? I only ask because when I've tried I have options for a few talking points with the rep but none of them are for the usual bribery that unlocks the other Houses. It's kind of confusing. Does anyone else have that problem or am I just missing something really obvious?

Since Chapter 3 dropped and we can now purchase all the house swatches for vehicles and outfits I've noticed that there isn't a house swatch for Harkonnen or Atreides for the radiation suits. Every other house swatch is available for the radiation suits if you've purchased them but you can't buy the Harkonnen or Atreides swatches for the radiation suits. I am happy that they're available for the rest of the armor and weapons but it's odd that they're not on the radiation suits.

Today it occurred to me to pull up my Task Manager on my second monitor and see if anything spikes when Dune gives me a frame rate drop. Well the one thing that really stuck with me was that TM says I'm using 98% of my GPU while Dune is running BUT the percentage of usage from the game says it's around 3% in the column. I'm wondering if there's some setting in Windows that might get the correct number to show up for my GPU in my Task Manager? It's not a big deal but I would love for the game to run as optimized as it can on my PC.
