Captain Lust said:OK all the files are ready for you to use now. Remember that this patch is not server compatible with the last one so you might want to wait until people have updated their servers. The patch will overwrite any singleplayer tweaks of admin mods you use.
The patch will be finally released on monday morning, where it will be posted on the website and pushed out to Steam.
Here are the installers for the 1157 Warband patch:

OLD POST:
Greetings all,
Following on from discussions about the state of Khergits in the game and some other potential issues, we have assembled a beta patch for the Warband. If you are a steam user, you can simply go to your game library, select Mount & Blade: Warband, go to properties>BETAS and select 'Beta - Public beta for v1.156'
The password is 'beta' easily enough and you can join our official Battle and Team Deathmatch beta servers if you want to test the game. Feel free to jump straight on and get testing. We'll also be running some 'testing sessions' to try and get some results with larger player numbers. By default, one team will always be Khergits (I think... they should be pretty damn common at least).
Non-Steam Version - Extract to main Warband directory and overwrite conflicts NOTE: You should make a backup of your game files so you can revert them after you've finished testing. This patch is not compatible with old patches.

Remember to post feedback/screenshots/results/opinions in this thread. Every comment will be read and will be helpful for us.
Here are the servers you can play on for now:
EU_Beta_Battle_Official
EU_Beta_TDM_Official
US_Beta_Battle_Official
US_Beta_TDM_Official
If you want to book a server for a private match or testing session just let me know. No admin mod will be installed on the servers.
Thankyou for your continued cooperation and support .
