I bought the original M&B while it was still beta for $12, and played it for many many many more hours than other games that I paid $50 for.  Once Warband beta came out, I bought another copy of the game for $30 so my gf can play with me in the warband beta, and I still felt like it was a good deal.  When Warband comes out I will probably end up buying 4 copies so that my friends can play with me too.  Assuming the game will cost 30-40 bucks then I think it's worth 120-150 bucks to me.  If you think about it, people pay that much for a guitar hero band set so it's not that much to spend on videogames that a group of people can enjoy nowadays.  Also, the money spent to hours of enjoyment ratio is off the chart.  If I take my girlfriend to see a movie it ends up costing about $50 by the time I buy gas, tickets, popcorn and soda and whatnot.  That only lasts about 2 hours or so, so I figure it's about 25 bucks an hour.  With warband, even if it costs 500 dollars, I will still see a better ratio than going to the movies or the mall, and that's including all the beer I drink while playing 

I have no ill will towards the clans, but like other people said, the front page is full of clan posts and any other post gets booted off the 1st page and into obscurity almost instantly it seems.  Seeing as how this is the section of the forum for talking about warband, then a separate area for clan talking would be appropriate.

well, so far in the warband multiplayer beta, i and countless others have been getting rgl errors pretty regularly

  lol ok twitter your hearts away just keep sending me emails please

twitter is for twits.  anyone in the warband beta already gets email updates, isn't twitter a bit redundant?  how are they going to fit a changelog into 140 characters?

I know right?  I've never had less than 100 ping haha

Yes, I killed Voso just by looking at him    .

Here's me dominating a packed battle server (including plenty of Hobos and most of the good players in warband):



Edit:  It's a little hard to read my score in that pic, it was 12 kills 3 deaths.

I disagree, make as many posts about the bug as possible, it doesn't seem the devs are really aware of it

I have had the error on battle, deathmatch, siege, team deathmatch, and on the server select screen.  The most I have been able to play since .625 is 8-10 minutes and that was only one time.

still happening to me too

so what do I do, I have windows xp and it is crashing non-stop lol

I'm still getting the assertion failed errors also with .630

why does it seem like this error is being ignored?  I see tons of people posting about it and only one dev has mentioned anything about it, and he only asked if it was only happening on siege mode.  obviously they don't know what causes it, or they would have fixed it between .625 when it first started and .630, or at least asked for more detailed feedback about the user's systems and circumstances where it was happening.  I'm not trying to be a complainer but ever since .625 came out I haven't been able to play and I just paid 30 more dollars a couple days ago to buy a serial for my uncle to sign up for the beta and he can't play either, 30 bucks doesn't mean much to me but it is kind of frustrating because we both love this game so much

it works for a while, then one of you will randomly get disconnected back to the server select screen.  It is playable though, if you don't mind not being able to rack up a score or having a sizable amount of gold, because one of you will get disconnected every 5 minutes or so.

it has been happening to me also, mostly in the server select screen...  however, someone else posted a possible fix that seems to help me somewhat.  In the initial configuration window that first pops up when you run the game, force it to run in single threading mode, or do it manually in the task manager by setting affinity to one core.  I have a dual core opteron cpu and this let's me at least join a game, although then i will usually crash within 5-10 minutes.

Actually that helps little bit, I think, but occasional popup to windows still appear, and ruins the chance to enjoy the game and expecially, to survive.

Yes, i agree, it only let's me play for a few minutes before it crashes, but at least i can join a game, when without the single core "fix" i usually can't even get past the server select screen.  I also tried doing the "hint fix" that someone else posted, which involves going into /program files/mount & blade warband/languages/en/hints.csv , opening it and adding in the hint that you had that made you crash, for example if you got a hint = 0 error, you would add in a hint for 0, in the same format as the other hints.  This "fix" did not change anything for me, as I keep getting hint 0 errors when I try to push ignore after getting assertion errored.

I've got a dual core opteron (server version of athlon) system, and never had an error before this patch.  That reminds me, I was manually setting the processor affinity using task manager once the program was started, I'm going to try using the "force single threading" option in the initial configure menu now

I want a west coast server also, and I would be willing to chip in for a server, provided they release a new patch that fixes the game killing assertion bug i am getting with .625 (most of the time i crash on the server list, never had this pre-.625).  It really is hard to beta test while having ping of 130ish, which is what I'm getting, I live in washington state and although I have gotten used to timing my moves to compensate for the lag, it makes it hard for me to really be able to offer suggestions for combat since I am always striking early and blocking earlier than I feel i would have to if I had a lower ping.

hmmm good idea lord rich, i'm going to try it right now


Edit after trying:  It works... somewhat...  I am able to actually join a game and play for a little while, before I get an assertion error, at which point I pressed "ignore" and it put up a hint error... tried three different servers, same result, i can play for 5-10 minutes before it does it, guess i have to wait for the next patch.

yeah, i managed to play deathmatch for about 10 minutes or so using this trick before it crashed again...  oh well hopefully they will release a new patch soon
