Crimson Desert Known Issues Tracker
This page is the player triage layer between a confusing in-game problem and a full guide rewrite. Use it before assuming your build, quest route, or graphics profile is broken.
Quick Answer
If a quest stops progressing, a graphics feature behaves strangely, a control remap feels wrong, or a character-specific setup breaks after a patch, check this tracker first. Some of the most frustrating Crimson Desert problems right now are already on the official Known Issues list, which means the right next step is often a narrow workaround, not a complete rebuild.
Current Known Issues and Safe Workarounds
| Area | Known Issue | What to Do Right Now |
|---|---|---|
| AMD RX 5000 Series | The game may occasionally crash on RDNA 1 cards. | Treat crash testing as a current known issue first. Reduce variables and report it if your case is not covered by a patch note later. |
| Sigil of Valor | The Phoenix and Iron Eagle cannot equip the Sigil of Valor. | Do not treat it as a mistaken build path. It is currently a known equipment issue. |
| Fishing | Fish caught in certain areas are unable to move. | Treat the area as bug-sensitive instead of assuming your fishing route is wrong. |
| Greymane faction quests | They cannot progress while playing as Damiane or Oongka. | Switch back to the compatible character state before rewriting the guide route. |
| Evasion remap | The default Evasion key may still work after remapping if the option is set to Hold. | Test dodge behavior in a safe area after control changes. |
| Damiane Shield Toss death state | Damiane can lose shield skills after dying immediately after Shield Toss. | Save and reload before continuing the route. |
| Legendary Animal quest travel | NPCs required for quest progression cannot ride together on Legendary Animal mounts. | Use safer standard travel when escort logic matters. |
| Mac cursor placement | Furniture placement cursor can differ from the actual point at some resolutions. | Treat furniture setup as patch-sensitive on Mac. |
| Mac colorblind UI | The colorblind filter is not applied to the UI. | Use brightness or contrast workarounds instead of trusting color alone. |
| PlayStation pet or horse naming | Rapid input can freeze the virtual keyboard screen. | Type slowly with short pauses. |
| GTX 1060 white screen | FSR Upscaling plus Frame Generation can turn the screen white. | Disable the combo immediately and test one graphics feature at a time. |
| FSR4 rain issue | Rain may disappear or scenes may look blurred or distorted in rainy weather. | Retest rainy routes with FSR4 off before changing the rest of your settings profile. |
How to Use This Tracker Well
Before Changing Settings
Check whether the issue is already known, especially for upscaling, weather, GPU-specific behavior, and platform UI quirks.
Before Rewriting a Quest Guide
If the issue affects character state, escort logic, or quest progression, mark the route as issue-sensitive first.
Before Blaming a Build
Some combat failures are not weak builds. They are input bugs, gear bugs, or character-state problems.
