Crimson Desert Enhanced: Gpu Crashing? (Workarounds)

Short answer

Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Update your GPU drivers to the latest version and ensure hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling is enabled in your Windows graphics settings. Additionally, check if disabling HDR resolves the black screen crashes.

What players suggest

Nope, not common. You are the only person I've ran into with this problem. Update drivers, then restart PC.

Yes it is. I've updated to the latest version as of now (2.04.07) and it didn't crashed but I was running ultra quality. Later I'll try with alt-tabbing and cinematic I'll see if it is stable.

I'm not running into that though I have experienced it on other games. I can get in to the main menu but the game just shuts down when I try to load in.
