Empty supply boxes and early-adopter panic
Crimson Desert stormed onto the scene and then, naturally, gave some players a minor heart attack. The open-world title from Pearl Abyss moved massive numbers at launch — two million copies sold on day one — but folks who pre-ordered or grabbed the Deluxe Edition found their bonus items missing.
The culprit? A bug that made the in-game supply box show up completely empty when opened, so those sweet preorder goodies looked like they never existed. Annoying, but not game-breaking — more of a “where’s my stuff?” headache for early players.
Quick fix, simple workaround, and why it matters
Pearl Abyss owned the problem fast. They acknowledged the glitch, apologised to players, and pushed a fix within hours. The studio told players to restart the game and check the accessories menu to find their items — and reports say that resolves the issue for most people.
Community reaction was a mix of eye-rolls, memes, and grateful thumbs-up for the speedy patch. Still, these hiccups matter: missing preorder rewards hit player trust and first impressions, especially right after a huge launch. The good news is the fix was quick and didn’t affect core gameplay, so you can get back to exploring, solving puzzles, and complaining about the weird ones.
If you still don’t see your extras after restarting, it’s worth filing a support ticket with Pearl Abyss — and maybe saving a few screenshots for posterity (and potential proof). For everyone else: enjoy the game, and keep an eye out for more patches and tweaks as Crimson Desert settles into life after launch.
