Summary: I started the dragon banner quest late, after already having 2 fiefs and being a part of the southern empire. I assembled it and went to turn it it, but every time I do, wether inside a city our outside of one, the game crashes at the end of the dialogue. See video below.
How to...
I have never in my life found a fix for anything so easy before. Especially not for a video game. I have terrible luck to add on to it. I'm a reborn believer.
Thanks a lot. Your solution helped me. It was really the "Army of Poachers" quest that bugged out when you do not finish it in time. Hopefully this does not happen to often or otherwise I won't do this quest anymore :S
I did have Army of Poacher's quest that was about to expire. My system was locking up before midnight so I enabled cheat mode went to an earlier save the day before and used the cheat to teleport to the town in question. After doing that and completing the quest I have now gone several game days without a lockup. Thanks for the workaround.
You are a genius! I was reloading my files and noticed that the quest had 0 days left and was wondering if that was the cause! You solution worked great and I was able to continue playing thank you.
Same thing happened to me even if I click wait here for some time it doesn't matter the option it crashes one second after I leave the city ahhh!! The city for me is Iyakis :/
Here's a possible fix. Do you have "Army of Poachers" quest?
Is the game breaking on the same day, every midnight?
If so, do this.
" I got this same bug too, I took the poacher quest near midnight for a town a little far, with the quest being due that same midnight- I couldn't make it to the town in time before the day ended, game crashed before getting there, on the midnight/start of next day when it should have failed the quest. Village wasn't raided - I was just outside of riding distance. It crashed every midnight of the same day - if your crash happens at the same time every midnight, this should work.
Fix? Turn on Cheat Mode on Documents/Bannerlord/engine_config to 1 instead of 0. Save it. Reload the game, not in safe mode.
Then, control left click right next to the village targetted. It'll teleport you there - you should be able to interact with it before the day's end and fulfill the quest.
After this, you can save, go back to the document and turn Cheat Mode back off."
I'm a couple of hours into a play through. Game was very stable at first with the lockups happening more and more the further I got. Now I have a save where within a few seconds of starting to move in map mode it locks up every time. Rebooted of course and it still happens. My system is typically very stable with everything. Let me know if you want the save file.
People with the same issue seem to be suffering from an expired quest in the quest log (quest shows up as 0 days left). Bannerlord will crash once you leave the vicinity of a city, at least in my experience.

Thank you for the suggestion. This would have worked if my game was around midnight. I teleported but I had to wait for the poachers in the village so the game froze :/
I guess the next step would be to force it to be night, there might be a cheat command for that - or doing it with GameEngine? Although at that point you might as well wait for a proper patch.
if it's any consolation on the forums you can see when someone visits a thread - I've seen the developers visit these "army of poachers" threads multiple times today, I'm sure they're already working on a fix probably by tomorrow
I have 2 save files, 1 where I havent yet accepted the Army of Poachers quest and the only where I have. If I leave town in the one where I have accepted the quest I crash, if I leave town in the one where I havent accepted it I don't crash. None of the error reports submitted went through. I included a video of me reproducing the crash twice. Let me know if you need any more information.
You can skip to the 1:00 mark to see the first crash. I just included the booting in to show I was in safe mode and the 2 separate save files.
Bug Description: Game crashes after leaving town after accepting Army of Poachers quest
How To Reproduce The Bug: I have done it many times before, this is the first time its down it. I have one unplayable save file because I cant leave town now
How Often The Bug Occurs: Every time on certain save file, and then if I go to that same town and do the quest on a different save file
Quest Name: Army of Poachers
Save Playtime(How long you've played that save/What day you're on): Roughly day ~110
Computer Specs(Only needed for performance/graphics/stability related bugs/issues): GPU: ASROCK 5700 XT
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
Ram: 16GB DDR4
Storage Device: 1TB WD Black SN750 NVME
Operating System: Win 10 Pro 64 Bit
I'm also having the same issue. Unfortunately, I don't have a back up save so I'll have to start the whole game over...
I noticed that the quest gives you negative 2 days instead of the usual 2 days in the positive. Seems like when the quest checks itself, it crashes the game because it can't handle a negative value.
I have the same issue. I accepted the quest thinking it'll be a great way to train my units and it crashes me as well. Same exact everything as the video, I don't even feel I need to upload anything since the crash happens the exact same way.
Exact same problem on my end. I accepted the quest, and the game locks and crashes as soon as it ticks over to what I believe is the start of the next morning. The data dump after crashing fails to go through as well.
My issue I think is related to Army of Poachers quest.. I was never able to complete it and when it reaches day zero (no days left) instead of a quest fail message it is locking up the game hard. At this point my save was right at this mark. I load a previous save and soon as I get to that point it locks again. I have locked up like over 20 times now.
Game is unplayable at this point. Maybe playable if you never accept any quests.

Please fix, I can't upload by log dump. Game crashes whenever the game time clock goes about 5 seconds. I can sit in town, fight, talk to NPC's but literally 5 seconds after moving the game freezes. I'm about 4 hours in game.

Hello,
The only way for me to access the encyclopedia is for me to right-click on a city icon which then brings me to the encyclopedia menu. I only figured this out because someone else told me. There should be a button somewhere that allows you to go the menu for the encyclopedia.
So far I'm 0-2 when I get about 6-8 hours into the game. It will get to a point where it crashes. For each save file I can reload the save, play for about 2 game days and then it crashes.
I also cannot upload the crash report because of an error in the CrashUploader.

Oh well - in that case this might not work but it's worth a try.

I have played the game for around 5 hours now, with zero crashes. Now I've for some reason reached a point where everytime I relaunch I can't play more than 5-10 minutes and it keeps crashing... Is anyone else having this issue?

Same issue with the poacher quest, unfortunately the fix above doesnt work for me as the cheat menu doesnt want to enable, apparently a new save is needed before it will take effect
For the cheat mode, you have to save that config file (Control+S) before closing it, and NOT launch the game in safe mode. That should keep it on.
Last I checked, devs are already all over this issue, it'll probably get patched tomorrow
check your quests, do you have the quest "Army of Poachers"?
If you do, try this:

You got it! I'm sure cheat menu changes a lot having it on, so if you'd like to go back to normal, save again, go back to it and turn it back to 0 to disable them. That part is optional, up to you.
