Pearl Abyss says to roll back your GPU driver if you're struggling to get Crimson Desert working on your ROG Xbox Ally X

Asus ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Ally X handheld gaming PCs.

Crimson Desert is one of those games that seems to be able to wrangle together all kinds of disparate gamers to attempt to master the bizarre behemoth of a multi-tool RPG. So it's a little unfortunate that it has had far from perfect hardware support. We witnessed the game's lack of Intel Arc support ourselves, and now Pearl Abyss and Asus are saying ROG Xbox Ally X devices might need to roll back their drivers to launch the game.

In its list of known issues, the game developer and publisher, Pearl Abyss, says: "We have identified an issue where Crimson Desert is not launching properly on ROG Xbox Ally X running on the latest driver version. Microsoft and AMD are currently looking into the issue. Until the issue is resolved, we recommend installing and using the driver version immediately prior to the latest one, available on the Asus website."
