Crimson Desert Version 2.04.08 Bugs and Known/Reported Issues (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: upgraded to 202 yesterday and did the fishing quest with Oongka, or at least i tried.

How to fix it

  1. For the Oongka fishing quest where the character keeps teleporting and casting the rod incorrectly, bypass the issue by completing a separate quest that requires catching two fish from a distance of 3,000 meters. Catching those fish by hand will trigger the completion of the Oongka quest automatically.
  2. For graphical problems affecting your frame rate and image quality, manually adjust, toggle, and change settings back and forth within the options menu.

If it still doesn't work

  • Watch out for newly added buried treasure chests that continue to respawn after collection without any map markers.
  • Note that ship steering controls can invert whenever your camera faces backward.
  • Be aware of the NPC Gift Reward Bug, which can trigger after hitting 100 Trust with characters like Barden Middler or Stefan Lanford.
  • Check if locations like the Tommasso Gambling Den become entirely vacant of NPCs and gambling tables, with the gambling icon disappearing from the world map following updates.

What players suggest

The dog quest reminds me .. upgraded to 202 yesterday and did the fishing quest with Oongka, or at least i tried. Oongka kept teleporting 100 meters left, 100 meters right, throwing the rod to the original spot 100 meters away .. Couldnt finish it by default. Accidentally finished it later with another quest to get 2 fishes 3000 meters away and caught it with hands and voila, Oongka quest…

the graphical problems are my major ones right now. It is simply unenjoyable if I have to turn on turn off and change things constantly in the settings to get my fps and image quality right...

Tommasso Gambling Den totally vacant of all npcs and gambling table. Time doesnt change it. Even the gambling icon is missing from the world map. This happened after the recent update.
