Black Desert Online [Security Module] Update Details Patc (20th March)
Black Desert Online deployed a backend security module update today, March 20. It's a small patch, but you'll need to relaunch your client to pick it up.
Black Desert Online pushed a focused security update today, and Pearl Abyss is keeping it brief. According to the official patch notice, the update improves security module compatibility and brings it to the latest version. That's the whole changelog.
This lands the same day as a Central Market maintenance window, so if you've been unable to access certain features today, that's likely why. The security module update itself is separate from yesterday's March 19 patch, which brought the Edania 3-Player Party Zone and Dark Energy Floodlands content drop. Two updates in two days is a busy Friday for the team.
To actually get the changes applied, you need to fully relaunch the game client rather than resuming from standby. It's a minor step, but worth flagging since plenty of players leave BDO running in the background. Full patch notes below.
Greetings, Adventurers.
Here are the details regarding the latest update applied to Black Desert on Friday, March 20.
Please relaunch the game client to begin downloading the latest update to apply the changes listed below.
