Following news of Crimson Desert's successful launch with 2 million copies sold in its first day, South Korean developer Pearl Abyss is now directly tackling some of the game's biggest friction points. The top complaint among gamers is Crimson Desert's wonky control scheme, which can become quite tedious. Luckily, the devs plan to make some fixes.

"We are aware of the discomfort many players have experienced with the controls, and we are currently preparing a patch to address this," Pearl Abyss said today.

How the controls will be optimized remains unclear, but the developers encourage players to report any issues and/or feedback at this link.

Pearl Abyss is also watching all the videos and content that users are uploading, gleaning valuable feedback from reviews, impressions, and more.
