Crimson Desert Known Issues as of March 29
- [Keyboard/Mouse] In the Refinement menu, the UI selection is automatically focused on the mouse cursor’s location. Therefore, if the cursor moves over the Refinement resources instead of the equipment being refined, the UI becomes fixed on the resources and the “Select Item” option becomes unavailable.
- If this occurs, use the AI key to move the UI focus back to the equipment you want to refine and proceed with tempering.
- Until this issue is fixed, please avoid placing your mouse cursor over tempering materials and resources. Instead, click the desired method of Tempering (Refinement Materials, Same Equipment, Refinement Token)and then press Space bar to ‘Select Item’ and temper.
- During missions that require following an NPC while riding on a horse, holding down the button to follow the NPC causes the horse to move abnormally.
- When using the Constellation Helm, the controls become unavailable while using “Examine.”
- Damiane and Oongka cannot temper equipment.
- In the quest “A Rumor Fueled by Greed”, the quest cannot be progressed if the required quest item is obtained in advance and then sold or lost.
- When using upscaling and Ray Reconstruction, some background elements may flicker or appear blurred.
- Sprinting is unavailable while mounted on White Bear.
- The “Use” option for the Talisman of the 5 new mounts is shown as being available for Damiane and Oongka.
- Instead of disappearing, Blackstar remains flying in place after death. Blackstar will disappear normally once the available mount usage time is used up.

- During the “Deferred Advance” quest, retrying or abandoning the Ultimate Weapon fight when Blackstar’s Health is depleted causes Blackstar’s Health to not fully recover.
- Attempting to steal fruit at the back of a stall results in the character becoming unresponsive to controls.
- When receiving damage while holding a tree, the character can become stuck to the tree.
- During the Gregor, the Halberd of Carnage boss fight, if surrounding objects are destroyed at the same time the character dies, the character cannot revive and progress.
