Is this error popping up every time you try to launch? Have you tried verifying the game files?

 

[Livius Fictilis]

Yes and I verified the game files but still with the same error. Before launching the game first time I used vortex to manage the game but didn't install any mod, I stopped managing the game with vortex but still not solved

 

[Alamond the Menacing]

I would suggest a Clean install to make sure vortex is deleted successfully.
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 when you just want to remove the modifications? Unfortunately, some of the modifications do not just add a new modules folder but also change or add contents to the existing modules folder. Without a reinstall, we can't be sure those files are unchanged. You can find more information about how to do a clean install here.

This is not helping, I wont reinstall the game, where I am internet quotas are limited and it's also slow, I verified the game's files twice and I already said Although I used vortex to manage the game I didn't actually install any mod

Inside your "Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\Native" folder, can you please show a screenshot of files which is listed there? Especially files with ".target" extension.

Thank you.

 

[Livius Fictilis]

Yeah, this was actually the cause of the problem, I took the files from a friend who downloaded it on steam so when I deleted the steam.target file and verified the game files again it worked. Thanks for helping.
