Black Desert Online, currently in closed beta, contains a critical bug that changes 144 hz monitors to run at 60 hz and 60 hz monitors to run at 30 hz if dedicated fullscreen is selected. This change persists even after the game is closed, meaning the desktop as well as other games are now running at 60 hz until the setting is adjusted manually. 


This is a pretty nasty bug, and the game is extremely popular as it launches in less than 2 weeks(currently in closed beta). Figured I'd get the news out here so that anyone considering playing it knows to play in Borderless, and NOT fullscreen. For those affected, all you gotta do is change your system's monitor settings to fix it.

Soooo a beta software has a bug? Ok.

I think it is more news worthy when the game is released and the bug is not fixed. There is a lot of things that can be fixed in 2 weeks.

It's excusable, it is a beta after all.

Something to consider is that the game has been fully released in Korea for over a year.

Thanks for the heads up.

I've been following the game for a long while now, waiting for a US release.

 

I'll wait till this bug is confirmed fixed before jumping into the game.
