hmm I think it's because YouTube converted my HDR video to SDR. tbh I'm not sure how to properly upload an HDR video from the Nvidia app to YouTube. I thought it would just work out of the box but apparently not.

It can take weeks for youtube to encode HDR video, you can see if it detected HDR if you try and "edit" the video then it should give you a warning in the top right corner in yellow about problems editing HDR videos.

None of the HDR videos I uploaded ever got recognized as HDR, even the ones I uploaded years ago. I wonder if it's the codec I'm using (AV1).

edit - yep, looks like YouTube doesn't support HDR for AV1 encoded videos. Mystery solved.

New patch:
Fellow Greymanes,
Here are the fixes and improvements that have been added this patch.
Patch 1.01.00 will become available on Mac Steam at a later time. We'll provide an update here once the patch becomes available.



Major Updates

This patch adds 5 summonable mounts, decreased loading times for fast travel and revival, and some more changes to controls as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the game's controls.



Patch Notes Version 1.01.00

Content

  • Added 5 new mounts that can be obtained and summoned after completing certain conditions.
    • (To prevent spoilers, mounts are listed in the dropdown menu below.)
      Mounts:
      Show Details
  • Added chests containing various materials throughout Pywel.
  • Added the "Refinement Coin" item. With this item, equipment can be tempered up to Stage 4 without consuming any additional materials. Refinement Coins can be obtained from certain main and faction quests.
  • Added a "Make Now" function which allows food and items to be cooked/crafted immediately in the Cooking/Crafting menu once a recipe is selected, without having to separately select ingredients.
  • Added a "Store all selected items" function to move all items from the inventory to your private storage. (Keyboard: Shift+RMB/ PS5: □ / Xbox: X)
  • Moved the the private storage chest in Howling Hill Camp, previously located behind Karl, to inside Kliff’s tent.
  • Added wholesale grocer shop NPCs to regional farms in Pywel, and accordingly adjusted the quantity of certain Knowledge entries.
  • Improved shop item knowledge acquisition so that knowledge for all items sold in shops can now be learned at once, with the learning time set to 3 seconds.
  • Improved locked doors so that an interaction button is displayed, allowing players to choose whether to use a key to open the door.
  • Improved pets so that they do not stray excessively far away during combat.
  • Fixed an issue where pets in certain situations were unable to loot during combat.
  • Improved wells so that 5 units of water can be obtained at a time.
  • Improved the Mining Knuckledrill so that items obtained from drilling can be collected immediately.
  • Improved the Demenissian Chainsaw item so that lumber from felled trees can be collected immediately.
  • Changed the crafting materials for the Kuku Watcher Pack.
  • Improved Abyss Cells dropped from destroying disappearing rocks so that they can now be placed into the Kuku Pot.
  • Improved the Knowledge Helm so that all obtainable knowledge visible on the screen can be acquired at once.
  • Slightly increased the treasure detection range of the Pirate King Hat.
  • Additional inventory expansion items obtained after reaching the maximum inventory expansion limit (240 slots) will now be granted as boxes containing crafting materials and other items.
  • Made the Abyss more convenient to play.
  • Reduced the chance of pickpockets running into houses while fleeing.
  • Increased the maximum camera distance in Photo Mode, added a field of view adjustment feature, and a camera shutter sound effect.
  • As part of ongoing visual improvements, replaced select 2D visual assets to better align with the game's art direction.
  • Fixed an issue where resting or waiting at beds, campfires, and similar objects were unavailable.
  • Fixed an issue where Damiane and Oongka would become invisible under certain circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue where money deposited in the bank could disappear when interest was refreshed under certain circumstances.
  • Changed sealable items so that when they become lost, sealable items will become sealed and items that cannot be sealed are registered as lost items.
  • Improved the system so that leaving out a sealable item and then saving and reloading the game triggers either a sealed or lost item notification.
  • Changed criminal acts to not decrease Contribution before an NPC witnesses the act.
  • Changed the functionality of an item. (To prevent spoilers, the changes are listed in the dropdown menu below.):
    Show Details


Controls & Combat

  • Improved movement controls for both the player character and horse.
    • Movement speed increases by holding down the running key.
    • Movement speed increases by tapping the running key once.
    • Movement speed for the player character and horse will no longer decrease even if the running key is not held continuously.
    • (Please note that maintaining the full sprint state still requires periodic input of the sprint button.)
  • Improved the usability of Flight.
    • Reduced Flight's stamina consumption.
    • Fixed the issue where the character briefly stops for a moment before moving with Flight.
    • Improved Flight so that equipped equipment can be used while flying.
    • Improved an issue where Flight would not activate in certain situations.
  • Changed the mechanics of Aerial Stab. Because there was an unintended issue that allowed the skill to be used repeatedly in midair, Aerial Stab was adjusted so that it can still be used as a fun movement mechanic without disrupting overall game balance.
    • Improved the animation for Aerial Stab.
    • Changed Aerial Stab so that the stamina required for the skill increases with each consecutive use.
    • Fixed an issue where Aerial Stab would not activate when Kliff had a different main weapon other than a one-handed sword equipped.
  • The stamina requirements for Aerial Maneuver and Aerial Swing have been reduced.
  • Improved the interaction range to make interacting with NPCs more convenient.
  • Improved the player character's turning responsiveness during short-distance movements.
  • [Keyboard/Mouse] Fixed an issue where the Blinding Flash and Spinning Slash skills would be interrupted when continuously being inputted under certain conditions.
  • [Keyboard/Mouse] Improved so that items can be sold by double-clicking them in shops.
  • Added weak point indicator effects for each element.
  • Adjusted certain bosses and enemies so they do not attack immediately after the player character dies and revives.
  • Fixed an issue where Meteor Kick could be cast in midair even when there was no reachable ground.
  • Added an aim key guide for tool-type items.
  • Changed weapons so that they can now be drawn using the unsheathe weapon key, and improved the UI so that this key guide is displayed during combat.
  • Fixed an issue where the stun gauge would sometimes reset instantly when a boss using a mount fell off it.
  • Changed Small and Medium Stoneback Crabs to fall backwards when hit by the Force Palm ability.
  • [Keyboard/Mouse] Improved inventory usability as follows:
    • Changed selecting and using items from mouse hover to mouse click.
    • Left-click to select items in the inventory.
    • Right-click or double-click to use items.
  • Reduced Stamina consumption while sprinting and using Crow Wings.
  • Fixed an issue where the knockback range of Focused Repulsion was abnormally large.
  • Made an adjustment so that the wheels of Desert Marauder Rusten can no longer be destroyed from beyond a certain distance.
  • Fixed an issue where Roll and Evade could not be performed while using focus skills.
  • [Keyboard/Mouse] Added a "Precise Control" feature for Axiom Force. Holding Q or the mouse back button while moving the mouse now allows objects to be moved more precisely.
  • Improved objects so that they are easier to interact with.
  • Improved the UI to display a guide message when attempting to draw a weapon in locations or states where weapons cannot be drawn.


Quests

  • Added information in the Skills menu showing stat increases for the next skill level.
  • Added icons on the minimap to indicate the locations of keys and anvils.

  • Added an icon to the Journal menu to indicate new quests.
  • Improved the minimap so that faction facilities are displayed when that particular faction's liberation gauge is shown.
  • Improved the overall main screen notifications, including how long they are displayed and when they disappear.
  • Improved the Cooking/Crafting menu so that recipes of the same type (Filling, Satisfying, Hearty) are displayed as a single group.
  • Improved the Duo game so that a key guide for peeking is displayed during gameplay.
  • Removed the whiteout effect during the retry loading sequence after death.
  • Improved the Knowledge menu UI so that both main categories and subcategories can be viewed at once.

    • On the base PlayStation 5 in Performance Mode, enabling this option will allow you to upscale with FSR.
    • This option is enabled by default and can be disabled.
    • When disabled, the game will output according to the maximum resolution supported by the monitor.
  • Fixed an issue where screen noise would increase during long gameplay sessions.
  • Fixed an issue where displacement mapping was not applied correctly when DLSS-RR was enabled. In addition, the DLSS-RR preset has been changed from D to E, improving overall visual quality and fixing an issue where texture animations, such as waterfalls, could stop playing.


Performance, Stability, Gameplay

  • Loading times have been reduced when traveling via Abyss Traces and when respawning after death.
  • Fixed several stability, performance optimization, and crash issues across PC, console, and Mac.
  • Fixed an issue where frame drops occurred during the battle against Crowcaller.


Localization

  • Fixed a UI issue where the current quest objective could incorrectly display certain item descriptions instead.

Others

  • Added sound effects when certain animals eat meat.

All that being said, I'd still rather listen to him than your worthless drivel.
 
Latest patch made horse travel worse. You don't have to continuously press X anymore which is good BUT... It comes at the cost of stamina continuously depleting as your horse is running. This ends up being quite annoying considering the vast stretches of land that you need to travel.

Before the patch, if you throttled your X button presses, you were able to control stamina depletion and you could essentially do a full speed gallop without ever running out of stamina.

I thought all the controversy was about Intel GPU support? At release it wouldn't start on an Intel GPU. You'd get a message about an unsupported GPU. Apparently they've bowed to all the Intel users and are promising to support Intel GPUs now. Pretty sure this is about iGPUs rather than ARC cards. Or maybe there are just that many NV haters?
 
Fellow Greymanes,

Patch Version 1.01.02 has been prepared to fix an issue on PC Steam.

Patch Notes Version 1.01.02

  • Graphics quality when using NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction and DLSS has been partially improved. We will continue to look into related issues going forward.
    • Improved screen appearing blurry in certain environments, flickering where the sky and clouds meet, and flickering when chimney smoke effects overlapped with nearby objects.

I think even the harshest critics would have to be fair and give these devs high marks for engagement and product support.

You underestitmate the DEI crowd and how resistant to facts that they are and I am actually amazed at their absence in this thread so I guess they (the plural meaning, not their "pronouns") resorted to reading and fuming in silence because they realized we do not care for their "controversy" and no one enjoying this game cares for their worldview (y)

If you read the thread you will find a single posts trying to talk about the "work enviroment" that I shot down and silence followed and on the other hand Crimson Desert on the other hand lives rent free at IGN and other "inclusive" media, they keep coming up with excuses as to why people are wrong to like the game but it seems no "pushups for wrong pronouns" actually selll games.

I dunno man, you sound awfully invested in IGN and what other people think
 
This game has some of the worst side quests I've ever seen. Or at least these "hernand commissions" are awful.

This is literally a side quest:

Visit shopkeeper. Shopkeeper tells you he needs beeswax.
Take a 15 second horse ride to beekeeper. Beekeeper tells you wax isn't ready.
Go back to shopkeeper. Tell him wax isn't ready.
Quest complete.

Huh???

Haha this reminds of me FF16 where there's a few quests early on where you literally walk across the room.

One you go upstairs to ask for a doctor. That's it, it's 10 seconds away.

Next you walk across the room to tell them the carpenters are done milling boards or song shit. And then I think you go back and carry them over.

It's all literally just designed to drive your playtime up and nothing else. I guess once you've added enough piles of stupid fucking shit quests, you've basically padded an extra hour or two out of the game.

They are just meant to increase your inventory size so be glad it was just a 15 seconds ride and not a 30 minutes one.

Used to joke about those in WoW, where an NPC would send you to talk to an NPC standing right next to them. "And tell him I'm not talking to him!" "Nuh uh, you tell HIM that I'M not talking to him first!"

You have to admit, Asmon is an agent of chaos. His YT videos are clickbait. Even his Twitch stream title is clickbait. He's a lazy mofo who doesn't really give a fuck about what people think of him or his opinions. He has no filter and thrives off controversy. His reason for living is to get online and see who is pissed off at him today. Not exactly a role model.

He literally said Crimson Desert was a bad game on stream and people in this thread flipped out because of it. This is what he does.

He mostly streams politics, so the fact he's streaming a game at all is a rarity these days.

Internet drama is big business.
 
The problem is that some of you guys are clogging this forum with links to his videos and nothing else. No opinion of your own, just reposting his videos. It adds nothing to the conversation. I'd much rather hear what you guys think of the game, not some clickbait internet personality.

You're also posting videos that are 3-7 hours long. Nobody on hardforum is coming into this thread and watching a 3 hour long video.
