🚨 CRIMSON DESERT JUST FIXED EVERYTHING! 😱 Patch 1.01.00 is officially INSANE! 🎮🔥

The devs aren’t playing around! 🛑 Pearl Abyss just dropped a massive update that fixes the “clunky” controls and adds 5 NEW PERMANENT MOUNTS—including a rideable Polar Bear and Silver Fang! 🐻❄️ No more “temporary taming” nonsense!

We’re talking about Instant Loading, reduced stamina for flying (finally! 🦅), and a new “Refinement Coin” that lets you upgrade gear for FREE. 💎✨ Is this the fastest dev response in history? See the full “Redemption” list and why the haters are officially silent! 👇🔥

If the launch of Crimson Desert was a diamond in the rough, Patch 1.01.00 is the high-speed industrial polisher. Released just days after hitting the 3 million sales mark, this update is a direct response to the “Gamer Revolt” regarding the game’s complex controls and technical hitches.

From “God-tier” mounts to surgical performance fixes, Pearl Abyss is proving that they own their engine—and they aren’t afraid to tune it for the players.

1. The “Mount Revolution”: Goodbye Shabby Horses

The biggest complaint since launch was that cool animals like bears and stags could only be tamed temporarily. Patch 1.01.00 fixes this permanently.

The New Roster: Five new summonable mounts have been added, including the White Bear, Silver Fang, and the Ice Spike Mountain Goat.

NPC Logic: In a hilarious update, NPCs in towns no longer flee in terror when you ride a giant bear into the market square. “The people of Pywel are no longer afraid of tamed animals,” the patch notes state.

2. Fixing the “Clunk”: Control & Movement Overhaul

The “Koreajank” controls that reviewers complained about have been significantly streamlined.

Sprinting: You no longer need to tap the button repeatedly. A single tap or hold now maintains full speed on both foot and horseback.

The “Flight” Buff: Gliding and flying (Crow Wings) now consume significantly less stamina, and you can finally use your equipment while mid-air. “Jumping off a mountain is actually fun now,” shared one top-rated Reddit comment.

3. Technical Sorcery: The End of Loading Screens

Pearl Abyss has somehow optimized the data streaming for Abyss Traces and death respawns.

Instant Travel: Fast travel times have been “significantly reduced,” making the massive map of Pywel feel much more accessible.

PS5 “Fixed 4K” Mode: PlayStation 5 users get a new graphics option that forces 4K output even on Performance Mode using upscaling, fixing the “blurry” complaints from launch week.

4. Economy & Progression: The “Refinement Coin”

Grinding for materials just got a lot easier with the introduction of Refinement Coins.

Free Upgrades: These items allow you to temper your equipment up to Stage 4 without consuming any iron, copper, or silver.

Instant Crafting: A “Make Now” button has been added, allowing you to bypass the long cooking/crafting animations if you’re in a hurry to get back to the fight.

5. Crime & Punishment: The “Witness” System

In a move that mirrors the best parts of Skyrim, your “Contribution” (Reputation) no longer drops automatically for a crime.

The New Rule: Stealing or vandalism only counts as a crime if an NPC actually sees you. “I can finally rob the Bluemont Manor without the whole world knowing,” joked one player.

The Verdict: A Lesson for the Industry

Patch 1.01.00 isn’t just a bug fix; it’s a statement of intent. By addressing the community’s biggest gripes—stamina, mounts, and controls—within 10 days of launch, Pearl Abyss has solidified its “Very Positive” status.

The world of Pywel is smoother, faster, and more dangerous than ever. If you were waiting for the “polish” to arrive before buying, the wait is over. The desert is calling, and this time, you can answer it on the back of a Polar Bear.
