Cruger
I suppose it's inevitable that we'll have some bugs, specially in the early releases. Feel free to report anything that is not under known bugs, hopefully it'll stay somwhat clean though:
FOR PEOPLE WITH CRASHES:
To all of you with crashes, you could check out this thread (from the the 1257 mod), and see if their tips can help you. I asked if Othr would anything against me directing people to it, but since he hasn't answered I figured he didn't see a problem with it. If it turn out he does I'll just take it down.
You obviously shouldn't post anything related to Europe 1200 there.

Useful tips for improving performance (mix of Kinsume's and Mamluke's tips)
- Go to the rgl_config.txt file (inside Mount&Blade Warband folder in My Documents) and change render_buffer_size to 500 (this one is really important).
- Make sure "Load Textures on Demand" and "Force Single Threading" are checked in the advanced configuration settings.
- Make sure the Edit Mode is NOT activated while actively playing the game.
- No need to set the max framerate on anything higher than 70-80 (the human eye can only see 60 fps at best, so...)
- Do NOT put Ragdolls and Corpses to "unlimited" (40 corpses and 10 ragdolls should be perfectly enough).
- Do NOT put the battlesize over 200 (putting it on 100 or less will probably help a lot if having performance issues or CTDs).
- Try to keep some balance between the diverse configuration options in order to keep the performance % over 100% (anti-aliasing is quite resource-consuming for what it does in this game).
For the Water Crossing Bug
It's possible you may experience a glitch that causes water crossing to stop working. If so, first thing should be to try the following steps (thanks to jesper82):
1. Right click on .exe file or the shortcut to the game.
2. Select "Properties".
3. Select "Compatibility".
4. Change the compatibility mode to XP or Vista (7 also seems to work).
5. Also remember to choose "Run this program as an administrator".
If the bug comes back just change compatibility mode to something else and it works again.
The above seems to fix it properly, but if it doesn't, alternative methods include exiting the game and moving your savegame file out of its folder (in My Documents), then pasting it back again. Or save your game and return to main menu, start a new game (in which water crossing should work again), then exit again and load your old savegame. It should be working again.
Other known minor bugs
-You have to re-enter the arena to claim your reward after a sparring.
-Some error messages on the campaign map now and then (don't worry about it).
-Collect taxes quest is partially "broken" (can still be finished!).
-Lords can apparently dissapear forever.
-Some banner problems with manpower.
-Schools are not working.
