Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord continues its quest to quell quarrelsome crashes

Settlements of bugs and crashes burn behind them, however the marketing campaign will not be but full. This Friday, Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord builders TaleWords took the combat in opposition to the game’s crashing to a brand new entrance. Patch e1.0.four purged the game of 17 extra crashes, with a scant few efficiency points and stability oddities discovering themselves caught within the crossfire.

Bannerlord lastly entered early access this week. By all accounts, it’s an excellent successor to the sandbox RPG. But it launched in a single hell of a state. Even because the sequel provided glimpses of one thing nice, Sin determined to postpone her Bannerlord review until the game sorts out its dreadful performance problems.

To their credit score, TaleWords are heading in the right direction. A release-day hotfix was followed by a patch on April 1st, fixing a number of soft-locks, crashes and infinite loading points. Patch e1.0.four fixes 16 extra singleplayer crashes, plus one pesky multiplayer difficulty that booted gamers to desktop when “a specific combat network message is received in the wrong order”.

Friday’s replace additionally fixes a handful of much less game-breaking points, provides reintroduces over 200 gadgets, tweaks armour and weapon manufacturing on the town, and corrects a slight “whoops” within the Aserai’s fundamental troop allocation. The full changelog could be discovered over on the e1.0.4 patch notes on Steam.

Quick CTRL-F on these patch notes and… nope, it appears to be like like they’re nonetheless letting the entire play as a baby factor slide for now. Thank god.

While crashes have hindered a few of our forays into Bannerlord, they haven’t stored the bigger RPS pressure at bay. Guides normal Dave has been mapping out the land, offering recommendation on all the things from finding companionship to getting around those pesky bugs. Meanwhile, Brendan has been wooing Aserain warriors in an try to search out love, get married, and at last transfer out of his cave within the listicle dungeons.

If the bugfixes sustain at this tempo, we’d even evaluate it sometime. Here’s hoping.
