Resolved Crash on launch, tried multiple suggested solutions, help please

[Aknas]

Summary:
I have played Bannerlord in the past with mods and uninstalled it after many hours of fun.
Recently I wanted to give it another go so installed the game anew. I was interested in the 1.8.0 version so installed this first. The game crashed on launch.
Not trying to determine the problem (because this version is in Beta), I installed the 1.7.2 version. When launching, I get the same problem (crashing on launch) over and over again. I have tried multiple suggested solutions:
-disabling/deleting mods
-launching from exe, launcher or steam
-Verifying integrity of game files through steam
-Running the game as admin
-Disabling steam overlay
-Deleting CNs Folder
-updating windows/(graphic)drivers
-disabling antivirus/firewall (although not a fan of this)
-Disable third-party monitoring
-Shutting down background programs
-Uninstalling game
-deleting remaining files in steam + documents + programdata
-reinstalling 1.7.2

After all this, I still get the same error.
I have tried everything to my knowledge and I am desperate. Is there any way I can get my game to work again plz?

If you're trying to run 1.7.2 on steam still you'll have to manually delete any leftover files named language_data.xml in your modules folders that get left behind. If it still crashes after that or in 1.8.0, could you post the call stack plus a few lines before it at the end of your rgl_log?

thank you for your advice.
I have deleted every single leftover piece I could find before reinstalling the 1.7.2 version and had no succes.
Could you tell me where I can find this rgl log, it does not seem to be in the main 'bannerlord file'.

There's an issue with Steam in that when downversioning from 1.8.0 to 1.7.2, it doesn't remove language_data.xml, so you'll have to perform that step after reinstalling rather than before. If that doesn't help and it crashes again, the log files will be located in C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\logs

Sciohan, you have solved the problem. After deleting all the language_data files, the game booted up again without problems.
I am ever so thankful!
