Pearl Abyss has released update 2.05.00 for the PC and Mac versions of Crimson Desert via Steam. The new patch allows Mac players to purchase and download the "Drawing the Unknown" DLC directly from the additional content purchase menu on the launch screen, while focusing on fixes for quests, building, and performance issues.
Regarding quests and combat, the update fixes issues where quest characters might disappear after using specific map functions, and the Sun Spire puzzle occasionally failing to register completion. After defeating Leviathan, players can now obtain its scales on Bergel Island; some boss battles also allow continuing from the most recent stage when choosing to retry.
Fixes to the building and housing systems involve deleting rooms, moving between residences, placing furniture, canceling construction, and calculating renovation costs. The patch also improves frame rate instability when paving roads over large areas, as well as stuttering that may occur when players approach residences.
The daily system has also been adjusted. After obtaining a harpoon gun, players can purchase the equipment from merchants at sea fishing spots; multiple items can be gifted consecutively when interacting with non-player characters. Issues with ship map size display and cargo loss information during repairs have also been corrected.
Technical changes include addressing issues with AMD RDNA 4 graphics cards under specific settings and improving performance when characters fall from high points on the island. This update does not contain major story content, focusing instead on Mac version content support and game stability.
