Crimson Desert Discussion

I’ve been keeping an eye on Crimson Desert updates, and I mostly stick to legit copies so I don’t mess up my system with sketchy hypervisor tools. I’ve checked https://isitcracked.com/game/crimson-desert before just to track the DRM status so I know what to expect on launch day, and it kept me from chasing risky downloads that could brick my setup.

It's got Denuvo but I don't think it's making performance worse for me. I don't think I've ever had that issue before on any Denuvo-enabled game. I know it's a common complaint for lots of people, but I've just never had that experience myself on my mid-range PC. I average about 120FPS @ 1080p on full Cinematic settings with my RX 9060 XT with FSR and Frame Gen turned on. No stutters, glitches, crashes or anything after almost 20 hours of gameplay. Only once did my FPS dip to the 40s for a few seconds, but it's never happened ever since.

Another quick tip to get some quick cash: Red Seaweed sells for a decent amount. Your reputation with the trader decides how much you can sell for, but at +50 reputation with Rhett in Hernand (the armor and weapons trader, you will have this level of rep if you completed his request), I was able to sell them for 49 bronze each. You can find Red Seaweed along most beach coasts. I spent about 15 minutes running up and down the coast by the Steel Mountains and was able to get 27 of them. 49 Bronze x 27 Red Seaweed = 13.23 Silver, not bad for such little work. You get anywhere between 1-5 Red Seaweed at a time, so it's not hard to get a decent amount of them.

Also about the reputation thing, try giving gifts to traders to increase it. They seem to have some sort of preference, Rhett really liked the soups I gave him and another trader only accepted copper pouches. Greeting them gives you +5 rep, gifting items gives anywhere between +5 to +20 rep per item. Apparently they can also have unique items in their shop if you max it out, but I haven't gotten a trader to +100 reputation yet.
