Crimson Desert version 1.18.01 is rolling out as an all-platform hotfix. Pearl Abyss published the Steam patch announcement with four fixes covering NPC interactions, housing displays, launch stability, and map accuracy.

The Steam versions for PC and Mac are available now. The notice says the update is rolling out across all platforms, but its status section only gives availability details for Steam (PC) and Steam (Mac).

The hotfix follows the previous 1.18.00 update, which addressed a wider set of quest, control, trading, visual, and stability issues. Version 1.18.01 instead focuses on a short list of targeted problems, including housing items placed before version 1.13.00 and unexpected closures after launch.

Crimson Desert Version 1.18.01 Patch Notes

Version 1.18.01 addresses interaction-menu delays when the lantern is lit, missing older housing placements, launch crashes, and incorrect map areas.

Fixed an issue where speaking to an NPC while the lantern was lit delayed the opening of the interaction menu.
Fixed an issue where housing items placed in game version 1.12.00 or earlier were not displayed.
Fixed an issue where the game would unexpectedly close after launching in certain situations.
