Update:

Greetings Adventurers,

We’ve resolved the issue where certain Adventurers playing on the Steam platform were directed to another region's Black Desert launcher when trying to open Black Desert.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

If you are directed to another region’s launcher when logging in through Steam, please log out of Steam and log in again to access the Black Desert NA & EU launcher. However, if you encounter an error message, you will need to re-download the entire client.

We will provide more information about the compensation after checking the Adventurers who experienced this issue.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and we will work hard to provide a more stable service.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
