Fans Rejoice As Crimson Desert Devs Finally Address Its Most Frustrating Bug

After Over A Month Of Complaints, Crimson Desert Finally Fixed Its Most Infuriating Bug Published Aug 7, 2026, 4:04 PM EDT Sign in to your TheGamer account Although the long-awaited release of Crimson Desert has been met with a wave of positivity from players and critics alike since its launch this year, that hasn't stopped players from noting the wide array of bugs and other technical issues with the experience. While Crimson Desert's developers have been slowly adding new post-launch content for players to enjoy, some of these updates added even more bugs than before. Despite pushback from players, Crimson Desert has shown no sign of slowing down with its content updates and bug fixes, one of which has been an incredibly hot topic in the community since it started appearing for players over a month ago. Crimson Desert Is Finally Playable Once More As shared by Reddit user Dry-Historian-8896, Crimson Desert's latest 1.17.0 patch introduced a plethora of combat, ui, and quality-of-life fixes, but the one that has fans rejoicing the most comes in the form of the developers at Pearl Abyss finally fixing the food bug that assigns a random ingredient to your quick slot after consuming your currently saved meal, rather than the far more effective meals you've already cooked. With the bug making it so that you had to go into your inventory and manually select a new quick-use food each time you ran out of a certain dish, it's not hard to see why players are exclaiming things like "Rejoice, the food has been fixed!!!", while praising the focus on working on the actual gameplay experience rather than simply pumping out new content updates. Considering how widespread the issue has been complained about under official and fan-made Crimson Desert posts alike, some fans are just happy that the update means there's "one less comment I'll have to see on every post," while others chimed in mocking the frequent complaints by saying they "can't wait until they fix food. It's RUINING my life." Despite players being shocked at the sheer number of updates for Crimson Desert, which has seen nearly one every day for the past week, the additions still haven't been able to fix every problem with the massive RPG just yet. From complaints over the lack of fixes for "performance issues or graphics issues" like shimmering, upscale quality, and FPS problems on consoles, as well as other miscellaneous gameplay bugs, there is still plenty of work to be done before Crimson Desert will be able to fully satisfy its eager fanbase. Even with the number of bugs and performance issues, Crimson Desert still has plenty more updates on the horizon, both in terms of patches and gameplay content additions throughout its 2026 roadmap, which are likely to roll out even more highly anticipated bug fixes as the developers and Pearl Abyss continue to keep a close eye on player feedback.
