Crimson Desert quest not progressing? Check the active character and interaction first

TroubleshootingPCCrimson Desert save won’t load or controls misbehave? Try these checks first
Start by identifying which platform, game version, save and input device are affected. Preserve the existing save before trying changes, then test one thing at a time. A loading problem and a control problem may have different causes, even when they appear after the same update.
