In Crimson Desert, the developers have used many tricks to enhance performance. However, one of them is annoying the community considerably.
What is this trick? You don’t have to be a pro to know that video game developers use all sorts of tricks to improve their game’s performance. In Crimson Desert, this is particularly noticeable and annoying for players.
The developers make items and objects disappear in the game that are currently not relevant to the gameplay. Following the motto: Who needs useless stuff, items just disappear. But this annoys players now, as boats are not exempt from this.
A loyal horse doesn’t despawn:
Who needs boats?
What’s the deal with the boats? Among the useless objects that the developers make disappear when you aren’t looking, are boats. These are the same ones you can use to explore some of the outer islands in the southern sea of Crimson Desert.
On Reddit, a player experienced just that. He had taken a rowboat out to the sea to the islands. But just shortly after he got out of the boat, it had already disappeared.
He ended up stranded on the island and could only return to the mainland via fast travel. There he had to organize another rowboat and row to the next island. This game will probably repeat as long as there are islands to explore.
What do players say about the excessive measures? The fact that the developers make important objects disappear for players here, is really annoying them. Exploration is one of the most important features of Crimson Desert, and due to the developers’ disappearing act, players might lose their interest in boating.
As they write on Reddit:
- Simulated_Simulacra: “A lot of things despawn way too quickly in this game.”
- EatTheAndrewPencil: “I found a cute beagle with the prison warden in town and fed him some meat. I got his affinity up quite a bit. I left to get more meat, and when I came back, he was gone 🙁 I feel like if an animal has a decent affinity level, it shouldn’t despawn until the player hasn’t interacted with it for a while.”
- Xephadrone: “I didn’t even know there were islands to explore, or boats for that matter. Quite cool.”
- Dynamitrios: “Yeah, I had a rude awakening when I was rowing along the coastline to the east and looting beached boats. At the third cove, I turned around, boat gone. Had to climb the nearly 200 m cliffs just to go anywhere.”
The developers of Crimson Desert have probably gone a bit overboard at this point. Nevertheless, good performance is key to a successful open-world adventure like Crimson Desert. Instead of using a boat, you can also visit the islands by dragon: The dragon in Crimson Desert only obeys you for a short time, an item can change that
