How To: Report a Bug/Request Support (Thanks Duh): http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,320833.0.html
We will go will add here all possible solutions.
- You need to update your warband and to lastest version.
- When you post your issue, you add your rgl_log.txt and rgl_config.txt (you can find this in warband main folder and in your documents\warband folder) This will help us to know your problem.
- If you have textures problem, you try to "Textures on Demand" on/off in config_log.txt
- Having background programs running. (This eats up a ton of memory even if they aren't being used). Sometimes your game can crash because you run out of system resources (mainly video memory), could you try closing all other applications you have open in your background, like browsers and so on.
-If your VC doesnt load you remember go to documents, and delete the mount and blade warband folder there, not the saved games one, but the other one, you could have a corrupted config file. Then, reinstall your game.
-On 32bit system, your processor cannot take more than 4GB of RAM. 32bit Windows won't let you use more then 2GB per process (VC, for example). This mean that you need to low your game configuration in order to play smooth (see below configuration)
CONFIGURATION CHANGES:
We are detecting that most problems are related to configuration. Some tips that could help you (config_log.txt):
texture_detail = 100 #70 can save some resources
render_buffer_size = 15 #you can try 32,64, 128, or 256 until you get CTD. The best, 15
max_framerate = 120
use_pixel_shaders = 0
use_vertex_shaders = 1
fake_reflections = 1
use_ondemand_textures = 1 #if crash move to 0 depend on your pc
use_ondemand_textures_mt = 1 @if crash move to 0 depend on your PC
enable_edit_mode = 0
force_single_threading = 1
debug_mode = 0
force_vsync = 1
postfx_dof = 0
postfx_hdr = 0
use_instancing = 1
number_of_ragdolls = 4
number_of_corpses = 4
blood_stains = 0
Note:
Enabling force_vsync. Also, be sure to disable HDR mode (those options enabled together tend to cause performance issues)
Warband configuration isn't usable for Viking Conquest as VC demand on more resources.

Ram problems? (Thanks Duh)
Steam may be forcing compatability mode on you. Turn that off to avoid memory issues.

Key Problem:
Thanks MaHuD
HK_current_users -> software -> Mountandbladewarbandkeys
There should be a string named: serial_key_vc with your CD key behind it.
If not, right click on open space.
> New
> String Value
> Rename the String value to serial_key_vc
> write your CD key at the data part (example CD-key: XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-4444 )
start up the game and see if it works

Long Load time problem and similar issues (Thank to kalarhan)
1) Did you try to do a full reinstall of your game? If you use Steam -> delete local content (Steam UI, right click on game). Then delete the folder manually. Reinstall your game. Verify cache (Steam UI).
2) How is your pc? Did you check min configuration?
3) What is your pc specs? Hardware and software
4) Make sure you have at least 2 GB of free RAM. If you are running other softwares check using any program that shows your computer CPU and Memory.
5) Are you using the latest version of warband? 1.162+
6) Can you still load native (Warband)?
7) Any other modules/mods you have... can you load them?
8 ) Did you create a thread on support subforum and did you post your txt config files there?

Do note that you might not have to do the rededit bits. Just try step 1 by itself at first.
