Wolfram_von_Thal: Hello
I always get this error message when I try to start the game. First the loading screen appears, then this message plops up and the game crashes. I had no problems when I tried the Early Access version about a year ago. Does anybody have the same problem? I really thought that a game that has been in development for so long would be free of such issues - especially as it wasn't present in earlier builds.

pokapokapon: I did get it started this way.

1 Delete the folder
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\config

2 Run the file
\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.Singleplayer.exe

For some reason I get an error when running from GOG Galaxy

Albaaan: Hello, just tried that.. It, sadly, does not help. Would you have any other solution in mind ?

Wolfram_von_Thal: Same here, doesn't work for me. Seems they messed up their release version. Splendid.

pokapokapon: I did a clean install first after reading the following official FAQ
forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/crash-checklist.431690/

To perform a Clean Install, Uninstall the game. You can do that by right-clicking the game on Steam Library and selecting Delete Local Content. Delete all folders related to the game that remains after the uninstallation.
The folders that might have files inside:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord

In any case, I think we need to wait until the official response

Wolfram_von_Thal: I just asked for a refund. I don't have the patience for such things anymore. Maybe I'll buy it again in some months after substantial bugfixing and if it's on sale. One should think the Early Access/In Development concept allows for enough (free) alpha/beta testing for developers to iron out such issues before the first gold release. Oh well.

Albaaan: If atleast we could contact the support, in hope for a solution. The bot just won't make any ticket for Bannerlord today (maybe its just for me, i don't know).. But well

Wolfram_von_Thal: That's really annoying. And in addition if the problem is indeed years old I don't see how GOG's support should be able to help us anytime soon.
