Crimson Desert has received Version 2.00.02, a focused patch that improves lip-sync in certain cutscenes and addresses two gameplay problems. Pearl Abyss published the Version 2.00.02 patch notes with details on the fixes.

The update is rolling out across all platforms. Steam (PC) and Steam (Mac) both have the patch available now, while the notice does not provide separate availability statuses for the other platforms included in the wider rollout.

Players at Karin Quarry should no longer lose control while operating the small crane. Horse riders also should not be forced to dismount after colliding with a wandering merchant. The lip-sync work is partial and applies to certain cutscenes rather than every cinematic in the game.

Version 2.00.02 follows the earlier Version 2.00.01 patch, which addressed Arabic text display, cutscene lip-sync, frame-rate drops, and Mac launch stability. The new release keeps its scope focused on presentation and moment-to-moment controls.
