Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown launched last week on PC and consoles, and all those that began venturing into the unknown on their ship have positively seen how the enlargement shouldn’t be as polished as the bottom sport. Pearl Abyss was nicely conscious of this, launching a mess of minor patches and hotfixes to deal with probably the most obtrusive points. Fortunately, one of many largest points – the numerous efficiency drops in some areas – is beginning to get addressed in patch 2.04.08.
“Improved framerate drops in sure areas,” is the very first enchancment listed on the official patch notes shared by Pearl Abyss in the present day. “We’ll proceed to enhance framerate drops that happen in sure conditions and through sure content material,” the Korean developer added to focus on how they’ll proceed to watch and enhance the problem.
As I’ve spent an excellent 20 hours enjoying via the enlargement for my evaluate, which is able to go dwell within the subsequent few days on PC, I didn’t encounter any large efficiency drops on PC, though I did discover that efficiency is usually not as secure as it’s on the primary continent of Pywel. On consoles, nonetheless, customers have reported vital efficiency points, so this patch ought to have the best affect on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Sequence X|S.
Apart from addressing efficiency points, the brand new Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown patch fixes crashing, quest, and naval gameplay points, together with a really immersion-breaking challenge the place the ship’s wheel didn’t rotate whereas steering the ship. The total particulars will be discovered within the official patch notes.
Whereas my last verdict remains to be on maintain as I proceed to discover the brand new areas, I can already say that Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown is greater than definitely worth the cash for many who liked the bottom sport, particularly those that bought invested within the story after the Enhanced launch. The three new epilogue questlines are quick, however they’re entertaining sufficient, making Damiane and Oongka really feel extra like characters and never some gameplay gimmicks thrown in simply to boost the sport’s fight in sure eventualities.
