Pearl Abyss has just released Title Update 2.05.00 for Crimson Desert Enhanced and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new update brings to the table.

Update 2.05.00 fixes several issues with items, quests, and rewards. Items equipped on Greymane comrades could sometimes be duplicated. This issue is now fixed. The patch also stops equipment upgrades from being reset after saving and loading a game on accounts that do not own certain bonus items. These include pre-order and Deluxe Edition items.

Several quest bugs have also been fixed. Players can now talk to Torstein after the Return to your Comrades mission. This should stop a bug that could block progress in the Check the Situation in Pailune mission. Another fix stops the map’s Details menu from making some NPCs disappear during certain quests. The patch also fixes a problem with the final Crystal at the Spire of the Sun. Interacting with it just before the final cutscene could stop the puzzle from ending.

In addition, there is a quest fix for Kliff. To be more precise, the marker stone in Beyond the Margins will no longer reset after seven days. The update also fixes a bug that could stop players from finishing this quest. Leviakan’s Scales can now be found on Bergel Island after defeating Leviakan. The update also adds more ambergris near the giant whale bones at Seafloor Plain.

Some rewards and item options have changed, too. Players can now craft the Canine Charter’s Diving Helm and Diving Suit at a Crafting Station. Witches can also give Abyss Gears as rewards when your Trust with them grows. The Delesyia Relic Shop now sells Furnishing the Throne Room. Some journals that could not be sold can now be sold as well. The patch also stops players from getting rewards more than once from certain treasure chests.

It’s also worth noting that Pearl Abyss has made a few changes to the game world. For example, Arimuzar Village has moved to a new location. There are now fewer hostile creatures in the Central Waters, Great Coral Reef, and Great Rocky Reef. The amount of materials needed to craft wagon gear has also changed. Additionally, the prices of items sold at management facilities have been adjusted.

A large part of the update focuses on housing and Free Construction mode. The patch fixes several bugs that could cause furniture to disappear when moving the Greymane camp to Pailune. It also fixes problems with placing and removing paths, changing houses, and removing rooms with many items inside. Players can now cancel path placement, and controller users can leave Demolish Mode with the Cancel input.

The game should also show the correct cost when adding windows, doors, or wallpapers. Before this patch, the amount of money shown could differ from the amount actually spent. Other fixes stop decorations from becoming stuck in certain save files. The update also fixes a problem that could make the screen freeze when approaching a house built in Free Construction mode. It should also help prevent frame rate drops when placing paths across large areas near houses.

Furthermore, the patch makes a few changes to controls and combat. Players can now board the Assault Ship of the East from either side. The Place Furniture input has also changed in Free Construction mode. Another fix lets players interact with other objects while diving, even when they have certain weapons drawn.

Several underwater bugs have also been fixed. Repeatedly using Focus while diving could make the character move at strange speeds. In some underwater caves, getting back into the water could launch the character into the air. Both issues should now be fixed. The update also fixes a bug that stopped players from hitting the Sea Serpent with the Harpoon Gun. Enemies at the Precipice of Truth should now attack the player as intended. The Parting Gift Abyss Gear has also been fixed.

And that’s not all. The user interface has received some useful changes. Players can now give NPCs several gifts in a row without closing the interaction menu. The map now shows the full size of your ship while you are riding it. It also gives a better reason when you cannot start a Pioneering Mission from an Anchorage because you do not meet its needs.

The update also fixes several smaller UI issues. Enemy detection ranges should now appear correctly on the Minimap. The ship repair menu now warns players if they will lose trade goods, and the guide that shows where ship cannons can fire is now easier to see. Nine new Elixirs can also be grouped in the Inventory. These include the Elixirs of Luftis, Fluva, and Lucaris, along with their Lesser and Greater forms.

There are also some graphics and performance fixes. AMD users with RDNA 4 graphics cards should no longer face crashes in certain areas when the Cinematic option is enabled. This fix applies to systems using driver version 26.10.1 or newer. Pearl Abyss has also improved frame rate drops that could happen when falling from high areas on the island.

The patch fixes many other small issues across the game as well. The Constellation Helm can now be removed while swimming. A spouse’s custom look should now appear when you visit their home, and the skill descriptions for Damiane’s Skystep and Oongka’s Vertical Flight now match their real requirements.

Ice arrows should now freeze water as intended. Windwood Spirit Offin should no longer stop at one spot while moving, and keys from completed mazes will no longer stay in the Key Items section after you move away. The update also improves the way equipped items look on ships.

Other fixes cover mounts, NPCs, and world events. Spouses following the player should no longer pass out after falling into water. Arm-wrestling opponents should stay in their seats. Players can no longer build houses on Phragma Island and Estra Island before completing the required Pioneering Missions. The game also stops players from opening some management menus, such as Housing, Pond, and Management, while in the Crime State.

Finally, Patch 2.05.00 fixes a few odd and rare bugs. The sandstorm at the Forgotten Altar should now kill the player instead of throwing them back out, and players should no longer revive on a sunken ship. The Pickpocket option will no longer appear when talking to Mangalica. Blackstar can also no longer be summoned during certain key quests. Lastly, players can now summon and ride mounts at their homes outside villages.

As always, Steam will download it the next time you launch its client. Those interested can find its full changelog here.
