Crimson Desert Patch Notes Hub
This is the return page for players who want the current version fast, the real player-impact summary, and a clear retest routine after each update.
Quick Answer
The current official Crimson Desert version checked here is 1.12.01, a hotfix published on June 20, 2026. It follows the larger 1.12.00 update from June 19, 2026, which added outdoor decoration, new crafting tools, housing items, build-related system changes, and more route-sensitive content.
If you have not retested since June 19 or June 20, start with the latest patch status, then check the Known Issues tracker, then revisit the guide type affected by your route: builds, crafting, mounts, bosses, or performance.
Patch Watch
This block exists for repeat visitors. When a patch lands, check three things in order: the newest version number, what changed for players in practice, and what old guide assumptions should be retested first.
- Current version checked here: 1.12.01
- Last content-impact patch before the hotfix: 1.12.00
- Known issues still active: AMD RX 5000 crashes, GTX 1060 white-screen combo, FSR4 rain distortion, Mac/UI and quest-state edge cases
Recent Patch Timeline
| Patch | Date | Main Changes | What Players Should Recheck | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.12.01 | June 20, 2026 | Outdoor furniture disappearance, moving-object climbing, glass lighting, floating terrain on the Sanctum of Faith route, and Skunky camp placement fixes. | Retest any route that uses outdoor furniture, camp placement, or Sanctum of Faith travel before assuming older guide warnings still apply. | Official 1.12.01 hotfix |
| 1.12.00 | June 19, 2026 | Outdoor house decoration, Workstation and Loom crafting, 58 new house items, Damiane/Oongka Visiones and memories, Blackstar mounts, sliding chain attacks, new gear, and 51 collectible knowledge entries. | Check crafting, build, mount, and utility routes first. This patch changes what players should revisit between combat sessions. | Official 1.12.00 patch |
| 1.11.00 | June 11, 2026 | Large pre-1.12 baseline patch for feature and route testing before the current housing and crafting cycle. | Use this only when a guide still references older pre-1.12 behavior and you need to trace when a route changed. | Official 1.11.00 patch |
Retest Routine After an Update
- Check the version and rollout state. PC, Mac, console, Epic, and Mac App Store can lag behind each other.
- Check Known Issues before changing everything. Some graphics and quest problems are already acknowledged by Pearl Abyss.
- Retest the guide type that the patch touched. 1.12.00 mainly affects housing, crafting, utility, build, and route support systems.
- Only then refresh your personal settings or route notes. Avoid rewriting your whole approach based on one stale assumption.
Which Parts of the Site Matter Most After 1.12?
Performance and Settings
Use the updated settings guide if you are retesting CPU bottlenecks, upscaling, frame pacing, or patch-sensitive weather scenes.
Builds and Equipment
Sliding chain attacks, new gear, and Damiane/Oongka system changes matter more than generic tier talk right now.
Crafting and Utility Routes
Workstation, Loom, and the new housing loop changed what utility pages should prioritize.
Quest and Route Safety
If a route stops behaving normally, check the known-issues page before assuming the guide is wrong.
Boss and Character Practice
Some build and skill changes matter most when you revisit bosses or character-specific setups.
FAQ and Support
Platform rollout questions and issue escalation should flow through FAQ and the issue-report links.
