Resolved Army of Poachers Crash After Accepting Quest & Leaving Town

[Fahn]

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.


It's not allowing me to upload a screenshot so https://prnt.sc/rptbn8

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.

Having that same problem, loading into safe mode doesn't help.

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.

Same issue, accepted the quest, it went into my quest log at -3 days remaining, crashes shortly after I leave the city and head towards the town. The crash uploader also crashes which is just exquisite.

I'm also getting this issue, the days left for it for me is 23 days but I can't do it because someone is raiding the village I'm supposed to go to. So I was assuming the reason why I was crashing was that as soon as they complete raiding the village the game freezes.

I might be able to help here!

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."

Let me know if it works by quoting this reply!

I appreciate the help! This did not fix it for me, since I accepted the quest around mid morning and my game won't stay up long enough to get to midnight like is required in the quest. I had the thought to hit "Wait here for some time," but it still ended up crashing for me.
