Crimson Desert Version 1.17.00 is now available on Steam for PC and Mac, bringing bug fixes and stability work to the game. The Steam patch announcement says the rollout is continuing across all platforms, while the update table marks both Steam versions as available now.

The seven fixes cover challenge tracking, quick-slot behavior, special headgear effects, movement audio and animation, map icons, trade routes, and localization. The map-related changes should make it easier to tell which treasure chests can actually be obtained and how trade routes are displayed.

Version 1.17.00 follows the Version 1.16.04 equipment fix, which addressed incorrect equipment quantities after save reloads. This release turns its attention to a wider group of smaller problems across Pywel.
