Same issue a year later and this information was crucial. Thank you everyone hwo helped me figure this out.

I've had the same this morning. One of these solved the issue though can't say which.
- deleting C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Sounds\PC folder and verifying the game files.
- unplugging the headphones. (plugged back in after game successfully launched)
- installing the windows update and restart. (yeah, there was an update waiting and this is the last thing I did before the game ran OK, so it is my main suspect)

Unfortunately none of these options helped.

I've completely erased all the mods and I've done a clean install of Bannerlord. When I launch it through nexus, it doesn't freeze, but when I launch it through steam, the game crashes.

Game keeps completely freezing on campaign map when clicking to move anywhere. Game music continues to play even when the game is frozen. It does not CTD and I can't close it via steam. I have to go to the task manager and close bannerlord.

Mouse studders slowly across the screen while frozen in game. Steam overlay shows 46fps (obviously incorrect).

Task manager shows bannerlord is using of 45% memory at over 2100 MB. Also shows its using 14% cpu usage. Shows 30% gpu usage. Power usage shows very high.

No error message is shown after freezing.

Escort caravan quest bugged a long time prior to this incident. The caravan disappeared after a battle. Unsure if this is related to freezing.

Started bannerlord in safe mode. Same outcome.

Verified game files, same outcome.

Updated drivers yielded interesting result. When bannerlord freezes, gpu goes from nearly 50% down to 0% usage, according to the task manager. Memory and cpu remain the same as before.

After closing bannerlord via task manager, cpu and memory return to normal.

The problem is, they've installed a nice, new mechanic, I'm just waiting for them to tighten the bolts a bit.

If you click the icon on the bottom middle (shows the time of day). It will orientated the map north and you can get your direction that way. Although, I do agree that a simple compass would be much simpler.

I'm playing 1.6.5 beta and I've noticed the same thing. I played three tournaments in a row with 4 or more nobles, and all three times the reward was a camel.

Not disagreeing with you but where in any 1st person style game have you seen this done better outside of this series?

(Not meant as an attack, just tired)
That's not an argument. Just because no one else had done it, doesn't mean TW didn't do a terrible job.

Big battles would be great if the devs were actually talented.

Nice addition, but they need to fix its bugs ASAP.

It's a project management joke.

I suspect the map system is an example of scope creep (or as SOku says, specifically feature creep) - It wasn't initially budget for, but some keen developers convinced the money people that it could be done, sold them on the excitement it generates here in our discussions, maybe one of them sold a kidney to fund the extra development time (or perhaps we lost some other features to fund the extra development time) now we're seeing the impact of that - unreliable timelines and resources being pulled in different directions.

Scope creep is when your project starts to move beyond it's initially negotiated parameters or goals. This could be caused by client demands or through changing project requirements or by extra keen developers. Scope creep often means budget blowout, so is to be avoided - unless you're wanting to fleece your client... then you can use it as an opportunity for negotiated contract variation. I.e. Give us some more $$ so we can finish your project.

I appreciate the explanation.

I think the WIP terrain system could be huge. No only could it open the door to incredible mods, it will open the door to choosing your battlefield carefully and using terrain as part of your strategy rather than hoping for a good battle map.

It's stupid **** like this that gets projects delayed or even canceled.
Imagine the actual debate:
Armagan: Guys, some people find our battle maps boring, what should we do?
Not-Armagan: Nothing, we are late with things that we must do as it is!
Armagan: No, wait, some guy suggested we could have zoomed in parts of the world map as battle maps! How cool is that?
Not-Armagan: It's cool, but then we'll need a hundred or so handmade new maps, we can't possibly do this in time.
Armagan: Okay, we are doing this, Callum, fire up that video editor right now!
Not-Armagan: I quit.

And they announce this one month before they were supposed to release (which gets postponed then).

Realistically, the game's current state is nearly featureless compared to what was originally promised. They have completed some aspects, but at the same time, this is Warband with a new paint job (minus the features missing from Warband).

At this point, I'd wager that Bannerlord was 80% a cash grab and 20% a genuine idea.

Having said that, it's not the fault of the community calling a spade a spade, it's the fault of Taleworlds for promising so much and delivering so little. I'm still optimistic that newer features will be added, but I'm also pessimistic that this game will be feature complete by this time next year.

Scope creep.

Or being responsive to changing demands.

All a matter of perspective.

Personally, I creep every scope I get a hold of. Nothing like changing situations to improve contract longevity.

I don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean?
