I am experiencing this bug in .860. Previously been a active multiplayer tester, but I am unable to play multiplayer in patch .860. I try to join a server, which takes a ridiculously long time compared to the time in earlier patches to load, and then, I get stuck at the welcome message. I ctrl-alt delete out, then go back in, and now I am in the select faction screen. I select one, it gets stuck, I go to taskbar then go back to warband again, now I choose equipment, in one particular case on us seige server, I choose nord scout, and I spawn, but I notice my javs have a black texture (missing textures?), and it crashes at this point. Some other loadouts and weapons seem to lack textures too.
Speaking of Nord Scouts, Rhodock cav (ie rhodock scouts) in custom battle look (leather pointy helmet, leather tunic, javs and all) and act exactly the same as nord scouts do. Is this intended?
