Crimson Desert 1.12.02 goes after crashes and a fishing-zone bug
Pearl Abyss says the update is live on Steam for PC and Steam for Mac, with fixes for AMD RX 5000 Series crashes, a Photo Mode HDR issue, and ocean areas flagged incorrectly as No Fishing Zones.
Crimson Desert version 1.12.02 is live on Steam for PC and Steam for Mac, and Pearl Abyss kept this one focused on stability. The patch targets a crash tied to 1080p on AMD RX 5000 Series cards, another crash that could happen in Photo Mode after HDR was turned off, and an ocean labeling issue that marked some areas as No Fishing Zones.
It follows the recent 1.12.01 hotfix, which dealt with furniture, climbing, and visual bugs. This update keeps the scope narrow instead of layering in broader gameplay changes.
