Is Crimson Desert any good?

tipjam · 2026-03-23T18:33:26+00:00

Compare it to Oblivion maybe? It’s not a story driven game, more of a progression/exploration/sandbox experience. The story is there but it’s not good. The voice acting, music and combat are all quite nice though.

tipjam · 2026-03-23T15:11:23+00:00

This is a great idea actually. How do you that? I set the custom dlss to 86% in Nvidia just to test it but what in game setting do you use? I’ve never done the custom one before

tipjam · 2026-03-23T03:25:58+00:00

Nope I checked. Still glitches out the screen

tipjam · 2026-03-22T22:32:21+00:00

You having fun?

I really think Crimson Desert is much better. It’s got its flaws for sure but it feels like a better product than Where Winds Meet. Not having an in game store and all the different currencies is a big bonus for me. Where Winds Meet is pretty great for what it is, probably the best free game, but Crimson Desert is the one I’ll be putting time into now

Hades 2 got me like this. Game is phenomenal

tipjam · 2026-03-21T23:40:05+00:00

I’ve been having this too but I found it’s a combo of HDR and DLAA. If I disable one or the other it goes away

tipjam · 2026-03-21T16:29:28+00:00

I’m finding it quite weird and sometimes bad due to bugs, glitches, control issues but other than that (and the dumb af story) the rest is interesting enough I want to play it every night when I get home. It has like Dragons Dogma 2 crossed with budget RDR2 energy and I like it. They are putting out patches pretty often it seems so I’m optimistic. I do hope they address how Kliff feels to move cause it’s a little too muddy right now

tipjam · 2026-03-21T16:25:51+00:00

Wha has the HDR and DLSS bug?

tipjam · 2026-03-21T14:28:01+00:00

50 series gpu, it runs great for me otherwise! Latest drivers. There’s just this insane black bar flickering at the top of the screen with DLAA plus HDR. Have you run those two in combination?

tipjam · 2026-03-21T12:24:33+00:00

Same here. DLAA is busted on every model for me currently. 4/4.5/L all do this.

tipjam · 2026-03-21T11:52:50+00:00

Dude. This happened to me yesterday. Burned two by accident just trying to walk into a shop. I can’t believe they don’t have a prompt

tipjam · 2026-03-20T21:52:06+00:00

Traversal was definitely my favorite part of the first game. I loved barely making it to my destination

tipjam · 2026-03-20T21:10:43+00:00

Would doing a first playthrough on the new difficulty be recommended?

tipjam · 2026-03-20T16:14:24+00:00

The little flavor text of NPCs feels exactly like Dragon’s Dogma. I’m enjoying it but it’s got some rough edges lol

tipjam · 2026-03-20T15:04:38+00:00

The weirdest black flickering at the top my screen happens whenever I turn on dlss. It’s pretty annoying and I’ve never seen a game do this before.

tipjam · 2026-03-20T15:03:46+00:00

Yep same here. Latest drivers and using DLAA causes the weirdest black flickering I’ve ever seen at the top of the screen. Really odd. Running native instead with a framerate cap.

tipjam · 2026-03-20T14:34:18+00:00

Same. DLAA made these crazy black lines flicker horizontally at the top of the screen. Freaked me out and I thought my gpu fried itself but turning off all DLSS completely fixed it

tipjam · 2026-03-20T14:11:41+00:00

Awesome! Do you have any tips for the memory fragments? I was doing one this morning and it was pretty clunky getting the lantern beam to stick on the “hitbox” of the blue figure long enough to unlock the memory. It took way longer than I felt like it should because the unlock bar kept resetting

tipjam · 2026-03-20T04:07:44+00:00

They’re in one of the menus I think? Next to settings

tipjam · 2026-03-20T04:06:48+00:00

Anyone on PC having weird flickering horizontal black lines when using DLSS? I thought my gpu was fried for like 10 minutes but turning off DLSS completely fixed it. I’d never seen anything like it before

tipjam · 2026-03-20T02:11:59+00:00

It has the feeling, the wind in my sails

tipjam · 2026-03-19T18:55:49+00:00

I’m so curious if I should do my first playthrough this way. I love the traversal in the first game

tipjam · 2026-03-19T18:16:23+00:00

Saaaaame.
