Crimson Desert Enhanced has received update 2.05.00, bringing the Charting the Unknown DLC to Apple Mac alongside a lengthy list of gameplay improvements and bug fixes. The patch addresses quest progression issues, improves housing and Free Construction mechanics, and adjusts several underwater areas. Certain boss encounters have also been updated so that retrying a fight starts from the last combat phase reached rather than forcing players to repeat earlier phases.
The update also tackles performance problems, including crashes affecting AMD RDNA 4 systems and frame rate drops in specific situations. Additional changes improve ship controls, inventory management, combat, and the user interface. Patch 2.05.00 is currently available on Steam for PC and Mac, PlayStation, and the Epic Games Store, while Xbox and Mac App Store releases are still in progress.
