1.143 MP crashes

[Korkusuz]

Evening.

Since these new and awesome 1.142 and 1.143 patches came in, i havent been able to play native MP at all apart from few low population duel servers.
When im trying to join a 22nd Siege server or some TDM server, i crash before i get to choose my faction. I've tried to verify game files and fix the cache and reinstalled a game but its still unplayable for me. Sometimes im able to join Nditions duel server and even play few duels there before it crashes for some reason.

I never had any CTDs before these patches.

Does anyone know a fix for this? And I have a steam version

Have you tried lowering your video settings? Also, try playing in DX7 instead of 9. Maybe that'll help you. I haven't had any crashes using 1.143 (only the usual, expected random crashing as always with M&B)

I dont think its because of graphics, because i can run games like Witcher 2, black ops and bad company 2 on high settings.
And i can play mods like cRPG on full settings, even with all those custom armors without crashing.

You don't lose anything by trying it. But, hey, you decide.

I think the problem is gone now since i have played couple of full rounds on 22nd siege server without needing to lower the graphics. though if CTDs are making a comeback, I'll try lowering my settings even though it hurts me deeply. Max graphic settings is just... something

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm getting the same issue as this guy. I don't think the problem is my graphics settings because I never once had a crash until this new patch.

Its the same for me, I crash after joining a server although I might even stay for one minute or something. Sometimes I just crash right away. Anything I get is the "warband has stopped working" message. But actually I am not too sad about it, since the mods still work and with Vikingr I don't really miss native. Just when I tried it I noticed this, and a reinstalling made no difference. I never had problems with my current setup in older patches or any mods.

I'm noticing that on the odd chance that the game does let me join a multiplayer server without crashing, the game shuts down when a shield gets broken, regardless of whether it was mine or not.

Been having this problem as well. Changed to DX7. Worked great for the whole day. Next day it was back to crashing.

I've been having the same issue, but only on a few servers. I have already been playing with DX7, so l'm past lowering my graphics settings. Besides, it still worked on most of the servers. Ultimately, I had to roll back to 1.134.

I have the same problem as many people do as proof that warband patches only add more bugs... "face palm".

The only way i'm aware of  to stop the crashes is to delete the file"profile.dat"  in C: Users/UserName/AppData/Roaming/M&B:Warband  (note that if you cant see that folder you have to go for Windows 7 and Vista  to : control panel , folder options , and thick "show all folders"  for xp should be "my comp , tools , folder options , thick "show all folders)  .

By deleting this everytime  before launching warband should solve it . you have to create your character each time but at least it makes stop the crashes.

i've had this happen several times over the last year or so, i just keep reopening the game until it works tbh, then it seems to continue working after that one time

switch the language to french

I had this as well. Tried various uninstalls and all that.  Ended up using the old version so I could play.

As stated above, I've found that the only way to make it work is to delete my profiles.dat file.

Come on Taleworlds, how can you release an unstable patch and then ignore the community for a month and a half?

Out of curiosity I tested around a bit, and found that I could play battle mode without crashing as easily as in siege. It might well be related to shield breaking, because in that particular battle that I played until I got enraged by having to face a team made up by half of overly accurate archers with too much ammunition, or being one-hit-killed by an unarmored person with a glaive hiding behind a tree, so that I left, I did not notice a single shield breaking...

switched my resolution down from 1920x1080 to 1280x1040 and i manged to play for 7hrs no problem loads of shields were broken and no crash, thoguh i solved it.. intill i try playing again today and it just crashes everytime a shield breaks..

I recommend trying this, it seems to have helped some people:
