Need More Info Crash to desktop,

[Dante107]

System: Windows 10
Ram:32gb
Processor: I7 8700k

Hello, I have been attempting to troubleshoot a crash to desktop for about 2 weeks now. Essentially, my game will get to the developer splash screen (after Taleworlds) and it will crash to desktop. I tried to play with mods, it didn't work so I uninstalled. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the game twice. I've done all updates (drivers, windows, and the .NET) and it still crashes. I have even tried the Beta trees to no avail. Im at a loss, I have 200+ hours in this game (even played it at e3) and I just wanna play more! please help, I'm low on butter.

Have you tried this workaround?

Crash after the TaleWorlds Intro Video​

If you are experiencing a crash after the intro video please try this workaround
Navigate to this folder:
"SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\GUI\GauntletUI"
And delete “spriteData.xm”l file and try again. It is not necessary to verify the game files after this. The game will create the file again when it launched again.

Yes, no luck.

Can you try a Clean Install?

The clean install is removing every single game-related file from your computer and installing the game again. Why do you need to remove the game while you just want to remove the modifications? Unfortunately, some of the modifications do not just add a new modules folder but also change or adds contents to the existent modules folder. Without a reinstall, we can't be sure those files are unchanged.

To perform a Clean Install, Uninstall the game. You can do that by right-clicking the game on Steam Library and selecting Delete Local Content. Delete all folders related to the game that remains after the uninstallation. The folders that might have files inside:
Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
Epic: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord

Note: You'll need to allow Windows to display hidden folders and files to see the ProgramData folder and its contents.

No luck.

Are you sure that you have deleted all the folders here? Just a reminder, Program data is a hidden folder and you'll need to allow Windows to display hidden folders

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord

Can you search for "spritedata" from the Windows search bar located on the top right of the folder browsers while inside the Bannerlord's installation folder?

 

[Dante107]

Yes.
