Crimson Desert Patch 2.04.08 (announced on Steam on November 6, 2026) targets what many players have hit since the Charting the Unknown DLC launched on October 29: framerate drops, underwater caves, houses in Free Construction mode, and ships. We would like your real-world results.

What Pearl Abyss says (official Steam notes, read November 12, 2026): "improved framerate drops in certain areas" (no figures), controls and re-diving fixed in certain underwater caves, houses that could disappear in Free Construction mode fixed, a confirmation prompt before deleting a room, ship-wheel, revive and anchorage fixes, a Mac crash after Leviakan fixed, a PS5 cutscene crash fixed, and equipment enhancement levels that could reset when one save is played across several accounts. The notice lists Steam PC and Mac as available. The DLC costs $24.99 on Steam and needs the base game.
Our questions:
- Framerate: which area was dropping before, on which GPU and CPU, and is it better since the patch? Give rough FPS before and after if you measured them.
- Underwater caves: did your controls freeze or did you get stuck unable to dive again? Is it gone?
- Housing: did you lose a house in Free Construction mode or objects with "Undo Changes"? Have you tried the same actions since the patch?
- Ships: wheel, revive on the Drunken Catfish, ship appearing on an island after loading, Phantom Ship in the Sea of Silence: which one hit you, and is it fixed?
- Which platform are you on, and do you already have the patch (Steam PC/Mac are the only platforms the notice confirms)?
- Honest verdict: is Charting the Unknown worth $24.99 to you right now, or would you wait for more patches?
