Can anybody shed some light on the removal of the various multiplayer servers on console? This update removed probably 10 servers, and changed 3 servers that were East coast, West coast, and EU into 'global' servers. The term 'global' is a lie, it's really EU. EU players retained 15-30 ping whereas every other player around the world now has anywhere from 100-300 ping on these 'global' servers. This change therefore destroys the ability to play multiplayer for most of the player base. In a millisecond block and fight game, you can't have such a dramatic delay in the ability to do what multiplayer is about - combat. I hope this isn't a permanent change, as it just kneecapped every player outside of the EU and effectively killed multiplayer.

@PsychoLogicalSF we are still looking into some other potential issues with save&load, but this patch includes a fix for the most frequent problem (from what we could tell). Maybe it will solve things for you.

Hey guys so I checked my saves upon downloading the update. The first ones I tried to load did the usual 'different module want to load yes or no' and then had the same load crash. Undeterred, I loaded every single one of my saves and to my surprise one loaded! I can accept losing a few days progress, so thank you for this fix! I have no idea why the others won't load (the saves before or after it) but I brought that one save up to the current version.

It is difficult for me to assess the specific root cause for your particular case. However, what I can say is that that we observed issues with save game size causing corruption on consoles for longer (playtime) games. Optimizing the data we need to save has been a continuous effort and we estimate ~120 years as safe with 1.1.0 on last gen. This is still being worked on for further improvements.

Unfortunately, these fixes will not restore already corrupted save games - and may bear a risk to some existing saves. If you haven't yet loaded all your prior saves (assuming they get corrupted on load), you could keep some of them to try in a future patch. This, however, doesn't come with certainty.

Personally, I think your best option would be to start a new game. It sucks and I am sorry that you experienced this.

Thank you for your response I really do appreciate it. In terms of in-game time the year is only 1102, so not particularly long into it. However, when I would create my saves I would number them by naming them so the saves I'm currently trying to load are my 145th - 176th saves. I tried all of them to no avail. I feared using the word corruption as it just seems like a loading issue, but since you claim they are, I guess they are. I'll keep them for a later update, but like you said that leaves me - the consumer and customer - with the uncertainty.

I checked my stats on Xbox for Bannerlord and since October I have about 26 days in singleplayer (all on that character) and about 100 hours on multiplayer. I'm a ginormous fan of Warband who got every achievement and easily spend over 100 days on that game. Let's just say I was planning to be one of the few on Xbox to get every achievement in this game as well. I'm afraid your response broke any will I have to continue with that. Not only that, it just broke my trust and my faith in the reliability and stability of the game in the future. If everything I have ever done can be erased on a fluke update, there's really no point in playing the game seriously anymore. So, as a loyal fan since around 2016, I can't say I will be playing much more. I didn't want this message to be aggressive or nasty, I just wanted to convey the genuine disappointment and sadness you guys gave to me on this day. Got taken for a ride, and I'll find a way to accept that. If you guys accept what happened and think it's okay, then the level of incompetency or disregard is truly disappointing.

P.S. - Imagine Blizzard launches a WoW update and corrupts characters. The level of anger would be unprecedented. Just something to think about if you guys do this to more people with future updates.

So for the last time, why can't I play singleplayer? Did these updates permanently destroy my saves or not? I'm on xbox series x and still cannot play them. Never could at any point during this whole mess and still can't. Messaged others in my clan who are dealing with the same issue. Hit continue game, wait 5 seconds, crash. Go to saved games, hit an older save, crash. I've tried to get it to work on like 35 different saves, all to no avail. Will there be a patch? People have said this is an issue with forward compatibility but all my saves are v1.0.3.9055 going to the current live version v1.1.0.13441. Just please communicate with us. Am I starting this game completely over or not? Just say yes and I'll find a way to accept that severe blow. Or should I wait another week, like I just did, with this unnecessary uncertainty?
