Crimson Desert Patch Squashes DLSS Crashes and More

Pearl Abyss drops a new Crimson Desert patch that fixes DLSS frame generation crashes on start-up and other PC issues ahead of the Charting the Unknown update.

Ever fired up Crimson Desert only to have it crash the second you enable DLSS frame generation? You're not alone, and Pearl Abyss has heard your cries.

The studio just rolled out a fresh patch that directly targets those start-up crashes tied to DLSS frame generation. If you've been wrestling with your PC settings just to get the game running, this update should finally let you breathe easy.

But that's not all the patch addresses. Pearl Abyss continues its support for the game, smoothing out lingering PC issues that have been nagging players. It's a clear sign the dev team isn't done polishing the experience.

Timing-wise, this couldn't be better. The patch lands ahead of the upcoming Charting the Unknown update, which means you'll want your rig in top shape before diving into whatever new content awaits. No one wants to be troubleshooting drivers when there's adventuring to do.

So if you've been holding off on jumping back in, now's a solid time to update and test the waters. The fix is live, and it's aimed squarely at making your start-up smoother.
