Pearl Abyss has released the April 11th Patch, also known as Title Update 1.03.00, for Crimson Desert and shared its full changelog. So, let\u2019s see what this new update brings to the table.<\/p>\n Patch 1.03.00 brings a number of combat tweaks. For instance, it improves the lock-on mechanism during boss battles. It also improves Damiane and Oongka so that they have more abilities useful for open-world gameplay, and it adds the new ability, \u2018Focused Aerial Roll\u2019 for Kliff.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the update improves the interactions with devices such as walls, buttons, and cranks. Now, a dedicated animation will play when they can no longer be pushed.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that Patch 1.03.00 adds support for Intel Arc GPUs. According to the devs, compatibility and performance across various Intel GPUs will continue to be improved over time. It also adds support for Intel XeSS 3.0 and XeSS Frame Gen.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s not all. Update 1.03.00 adds two new graphics options. Those are Displacement Scale and Detail Decorative Mesh. On top of that, it adds support for AMD Radeon Anti-Lag 2. The devs have also fixed the noise that occurred in screen distortion effects when using DLSS-RR.<\/p>\n Additionally, the devs have fixed an issue where rain appeared excessively bright from certain angles. Moreover, they have improved lighting quality in indoor environments, as well as the game\u2019s water surface reflections. Plus, the game should be more stable on your PC. According to the changelog, this update fixes several stability, performance optimization, and crash issues across PC.<\/p>\n Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. From what I saw, Update 1.03.00 is around 1.5GB in size on PC. Below, you can also find its full patch notes.<\/p>\n Content<\/p>\n Improved the usability of the Greymane camp.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed issues that occurred when completing certain requests while being in the \u2018wanted\u2019 status.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved standard dialogue scenes without letterboxing so that fast-forwarding is now available.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved Abyss Nexuses so that they are easier to discover.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved convenience for certain Abyss puzzles.<\/p>\n Improved clarity so that it is easier to recognize when certain gimmicks are available to be attached by using \u2018Force Palm\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved lanterns and \u2018Blinding Flash\u2019 so that they provide more hints.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the entrance path to the Spire of Soaring.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved terrain in certain Abyss locations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n Changed bank functionality while being in the \u2018wanted\u2019 status so that bank services remain available, but depositing gold bars and updating investment funds are no longer possible.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where requests could not be completed at a certain step when destroying the totems after completing Chapter 9, \u2018Sanctum of Mortification\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where certain requests could not be completed if related quest items were obtained before the request was activated.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where Gunter (Equipment vendor), Harry (Blacksmith), Bronton (Stablekeep), and Lola (Seamstress) in Pailune would be replaced by different NPCs after a certain quest.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Added 3 new base music tracks across the continent of Pywel during combat (The Crimson Desert and certain other regions excluded) during [Patch 1.01.00].<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Added 1 new loading screen music track.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Controls & Combat<\/p>\n Improved teleportation via the Abyss Nexus so that it can now be used while mounted, falling, swimming, or climbing walls.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the lock-on mechanism during boss battles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Improved Damiane and Oongka so that they have more abilities useful for open-world gameplay.<\/p>\n Added \u2018Axiom Force\u2019, \u2018Nature\u2019s Snare\u2019 and related abilities for Damiane and Oongka.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved Damiane\u2019s \u2018Shield Toss\u2019 and Oongka\u2019s \u2018Scatter Shot\u2019 ability so that they have the same effect as Kliff\u2019s \u2018Force Palm\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Changed the control inputs for Damiane\u2019s \u2018Skystep\u2019 and Oongka\u2019s \u2018Vertical Flight\u2019 ability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n Improved an issue where follow-up attack combos would continue too slowly if the player\u2019s attack was blocked.\u00a0(Removed: 2026\/04\/11)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where the character would occasionally move at an abnormally fast speed during certain ability chained combos.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where the \u2018Blinding Flash\u2019 ability would not remain active while moving on a mount.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where the scythe could not be drawn in safe zones.\u00a0(Removed: 2026\/04\/11)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved interactions with devices such as walls, buttons, and cranks so that a dedicated animation now plays when they can no longer be pushed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n [Keyboard\/Mouse] Improved the controls for \u2018Axiom Force\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n [Controller] Fixed an issue where \u2018Nature\u2019s Snare\u2019 ability would activate during \u2018Focus\u2019 by tilting the right stick in one direction.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n UI Fixes & Improvements<\/p>\n Changed the color of faction quest icons.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the list of Memory Fragments of the Visione so that it only shows the list of currently obtained Fragments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Added a function that processes all items at once when grouping or ungrouping items in the bag.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the UI so that item details can now be viewed in the storage section as well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the comrade list UI so that a check icon is now displayed on the selected comrade.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where the Attack and Critical Rate of certain equipment, such as necklaces and cloaks, were displayed as doubled when viewing character stat details from the inventory or Quick Slots.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the world map and minimap so that icons for treasure chests already obtained are now displayed differently.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the world map so that visited and unvisited caves are now displayed with different icons.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Improved the world map so that restored and unrestored Abyss locations are now displayed with different icons.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fixed an issue where markers set on the world map would not be retained upon the first reconnection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Graphics & Settings<\/p>\n [PC] Added support for Intel Arc GPUs.
