Crimson Desert Version 2.04.08 addresses frame-rate drops, ship controls, housing problems, and several progression bugs. The patch is available now on Steam for PC and Mac, while distribution continues across all platforms, according to the Version 2.04.08 Steam notice. Before this update, Version 2.04.07 fixed a bug that could make Nibrak Cloth Armor disappear, as set out in the Version 2.04.07 patch notes.

The fixes range from a ship wheel that would not turn to crashes that could block progress after defeating Leviakan on Mac. The notes also say that defeating Leviakan now grants its scale.
