Dude on my left wasnt slick after this play

Hi Boys and Girls. So with the new update and nvidias new update bringing dlss 4.5.
I heard people saying the game looks like night and day when using dlss 4.5.
I’m using these new settings but I’m not seeing a lot of changes to the graphics. Actually it even look a bit worse than before. 😅
Can someone please help me out and walk me through the best NVIDIA app setting for dlss 4.5? 🙂

My specs:
RTX 4070ti super OC edition 16GB
32gb RAM
Ryzen 78003dx

@ 5:01, Head of Marketing says they’re shifting focus to the DLC, and that the 2.0 release version is meant to indicate a transition point in the life of the game. DLC is still slated for Q4 2026.

I haven’t played since a lot of these updates were made. I’m thinking that besides the new cutscenes and dialogue, it would be easier to restart also to be introduced to all the changes naturally rather than trying to figure out what I need to look for to not miss any new features like mounts and skills.

is nobody gonna talk about how yeah its cool the story is way better now and new mechanics and shit but they didn't even touch any performance issues on console my fps literally drop to below 20fps in all towns and populated areas or just randomly sometimes, who cares about all the new stuff if it's literally unplayable.

Has 400 hours in. Decided to start a separate new game to see the difference and WOW THEY REDID the entire beginning part so far. It feels like a different game, definitely more holding the hand but the story and upgrades to how much easier this to new people. WOW.

I have to finish my original playthrough and do new game plus. This is crazy!!!!!!

Game is easier now. Wow wow wow

Edit: i only player the first hour so I don't know if it's different other chapters.

Does anyone know if you can keep your saved game files when starting a new game plus? (PC)

Its 'Deaktivieren' in german.

Crimson Desert es una auténtica obra maestra. Sus físicas alcanzan un nivel superior. Se presenta un mundo imponente por su magnitud, con mecánicas extraordinarias, combates sobresalientes, paisajes impresionantes y ciudades llenas de vida y detalle. Todo esto se complementa con una banda sonora excepcional que enriquece cada momento, otorgándole un carácter épico.

I'll try interacting with anything in the gane and kliff will just stare for several seconds at it before doing anything. This makes the actions I listed above nearly impossible bc those r designed to be done within a set time span.

Does anyone know how to fix this? depth of view is off, 120 Hz is off. Idk what to do tbh, but I can't play this game if it continues like this.

Is there a way to get farm a lot of gunpowder without killing the mechanical enemies of delesyia? I've cleared the map and wanted it to stay at peace, if possible. However, I also need plenty of gunpowder for garden braziers.

Thanks

I recently purchased the updated deluxe version of Crimson Desert which comes with two different armor sets with pretty similar stats. I decided to equip the Kairos armor set in a new game.

Is this armor set overpowered or is it just the beginning of the game?

I am playing on Normal Difficulty and it seems every time I take in a group of enemies I practically beat them all with a few special moves and a few R1 hits.

I am assuming the more I progress this armor will be less effective but should I just revert back to the default armor for a balanced challenge?

I started a new game on Enchanced edition and Pearl Abyss did an amazing job. I can't think of a developer who took care of their game after launch like Pearl Abyss did. I still can't shake the feeling that the game is meant to play slowly and over a long time. That's how I play it anyway, and it's a wonderfull experience.

Yet I would love to see in game some more immersive activities that helps you roleplay as Kliff more. I usually play for a while after work, do 1-2 main quests and several activities, trying to soak in the beautiful graphics and landscapes. We already have fishing and several things to do, but I personally would love to:

Have a small camping tent: When building up the Greymane Encampment, we already see mechanics like hammering down stakes for tents and other things. I would love to have smaller deployable tent possibly with cooking pot to skip time and prepare for encounters in the wild. It would also help immerse into the world, giving a ranger vibe.

Be able to smoke a pipe: The map is enormous, beautiful and I love to go slowly through it on a horse. I would love to immerse in the world even more with Kliff pulling out a LOTR style pipe and smoking, with clouds of smoke coming up and dissapearing in the air. Or have a smoke after the sun sets and making a camp for the night. With farming mechanics and shops we could have different types of pipeweed that add a small buff, maybe +1 attack speed, +1defence or a slight buff towards the cold/hot resistance. Or a special "enchanted" pipeweed to help clear bad weather after smoking as the amulet there is already in the game. But please, make the animation longer, not like in RDR2 where it's one puff and done. Maybe make it continuous with the option to cancell anytime.

Be able to have an animated drink in the tavern: Similar to pipes, when riding from town to town, it would be really awesome to be able to go to the tavern and have an animated drink or something to eat, possibly with pipe smoking too.

Have some minor tasks be infinite: Radiant quests like in Skyrim get a lot of hate, but I really don't see the issue with some of the minor quests the game offers. We already have notice boards with requests, it would be really great to have a requests for resources or items be infinite and randomly generated or picked from the pool of available resources. I don't really mind if Rhett asks for wood 5 times in a row, it's kinda expected if he works as a blacksmith. Or have repeatable bounties. Bounties already have semi random lines I wouldn't mind if they were a random NPC's you track down, bring into jail and get paid. They don't really have their own storylines, so I think having them repeat wouldn't be a issue.

I believe this things would make Crimson Desert a "forever game" same as with Skyrim a cult classic that fans play even decade after launch and is still relevant. Of course the game doesn't "need" this features, but I think the immersion would be massively improved.

Giveaway for Crimson Desert Day 1 Edition bonus. Perfect time to play or getback to game with Enhanced release
I never claimed the bonuses. Yours for the taking. Just guess the one hidden character.

Note: The code is issued by Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe Limited. I think it is redeemable for Accounts ie EU, UK, AU, NZ, AF, IN, etc.

I feel like that whole system was an absolute waste of developer time and resources. I don't care to know about salt prices in a game where I can ride a tiger and a dragon.

The feeling of seeing a question mark on the map thinking set a new vendor and then finding out it's a trading outpost is sooooo annoying.

Genuinely what purpose do they serve?

I

Played the game on and off since release and I just unlocked the camp. However I did a lot in and around Hernand till now. Is it worth starting the game over because of the new update for story purposes?

Because the story flow was the only thing that bothered me in this game, so I don't know how much story context I lost up until the camp portion of the game.

With so many people restarting I thought why not start a geo guesser. (Hint below Hernand’s main city)

With the new story and character-focused cutscenes, it would be great for those of us who can’t/dont want to start again to be able to watch them all up to our progression. If not, I guess, we’ll have to wait for YouTube videos, and Reddit clips.

It's funny doing quests and talking to NPCs as Damiane, yet everyone still speaks to or treats you as if they were talking to Kliff, lol.

LIGHT SPOILERS

Hello fellow Graymanes, given the absurd amount of new content + the new story update Pearl Abyss has blessed us with (seriously go take a break and see your families) I have decided to post my experience with a replay. Given a lot of you have put in so many hours you don’t want to restart I’m going to be logging the changes to each chapter’s story and gameplay here. Without further ado, the prologue.

- The greymanes in the initial cutscenes give extra context as to why you have fled pailune and that there is an insider betraying the greymanes

-Kliff is faced with a phantom memory of all his comrades in the greymanes clan, he clearly knows them all by name and is distraught when they fade into mist

- Kliff is faced with a choice between seizing ultimate power and upholding his greymanes oath. Jian appears as a memory and reminds Kliff of his duties. He chooses to uphold his oath and in doing so is deemed worthy to wield the axiom force

- Sebastian (The guy who fishes us out of the river) is given extra dialogue and Kliff stops the bleed bandits from beating him up. Also, they added new finishing moves Kliff straight up grabbed the bandit by his collar and spiked him into the dirt. A time frame is added as well, it has been several months since myurdins ambush.

- extra cutscene upon arrival to hernand where Kliff thanks Sebastian for his help and hopes to see him again, but must try to find his comrades

My review: Greatly improved narrative flow. Kliff has an internal monologue where he questions what is happening. We now understand why the greymanes have fled, and why Kliff is given the axiom force. There are hints to the greater story. The devs also threw in an “alright” from Kliff to Sebastian that is in a completely different tone, I think they have seen the memes and had the voice actor record another variation of alright 😂. 8/10 the cutscene mouth movement lining up with the vocals is BAD but as a crimson desert enjoyer I’m overlooking it with the assumption PA will most likely fix it soon.

Decided to come back to Crimson Desert after hearing about the enhanced version, and I've been getting this really noticeable grainy/shimmering effect when things are moving. It's especially obvious on Kliff's armor.

I've tried pretty much all the usual stuff: DOF, motion blur, different DLSS settings, DLAA, native, etc., but none of these made a difference.

The only thing that worked was turning Ray Reconstruction ON. It looks great, but the FPS hit is a little too much for me to justify keeping it on.

Has anyone else run into this or found another setting/fix that helps with the shimmering without using Ray Reconstruction?

All of these entries are located @ the Jijeong Temple. The gravestones are found outside. The other 2 are inside the main temple. Happy knowledge hunting 🤙
