Have you used cheats and if so which: I have, but not in any significant way.

Could you try to reproduce the same crash on the latest version of the game? (e1.8.0.321460)

I would assume it does indeed work on that version, the larger problem here though is that the beta-versions now are unplayable, meaning that this entire piece of the player-base is forced to migrate to newer versions, and that all the time-investment we have put into older versions of the game is now made inaccessible. Because of the scope and incredible quality of the game, these are absolutely huge time investments, sometimes up to hundreds of hours, and this horrific change could completely alienate these parts of your player-base, and drive many of your absolute biggest fans from the game, which is why I appeal to you, to plead that you change this, unless you might risk a complete catastrophe.

I have the same problem, and I have a much better idea: Why don't you undo the changes you made to version 1.7.1?
I'm sure if people wanted to be your unpaid beta testers, they would download and play 1.8.1 or whatever version is now in development.

Will you start paying me to download the newest version?
 
I'm too facing the same issue, I have a save of more than 100h hours on 1.7.1, and after the update the game crashes while initializing. I tried reinstalling, start without mods but it always crashes.
 

Or as an alternative, open the Windows Explorer and navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules (if this is, where you also have your installation in, it's the default)
Then you enter 'language_data.xml' into the search field upper right corner. Manually mark and delete everything he comes up with in all sub folders (36 files for most). This file didn't exist in former versions either.

Downgrading to a former version does not fix anything. The files won't be removed and every attempt to launch will crash.

Do this and you are good. Enjoy!

This worked thanks
 
As Sturmhardt mentioned, the "language_data.xml" files that are new to e1.8.0 are not removed when downgrading and cause a conflict with older versions of Bannerlord (e1.7.2 or older). Manually deleting all the language_data files located in the language folders will resolve the issue.

I had the same problem, but my version was 1.59

Deleting the "language_data.xml" file will not work for this version

Hundreds of hours of archiving, four generations of a family put at risk by this stupid update

Please withdraw this update, I don't want to see the authorities driving players to the new version

The irony is that the only way I can save my archive right now is with illegal sources from pirate websites

Why would I pay to test your game for you?

I've been playing 2,999.2 hours and you can't even upload a screenshot to your forum

I know that 1.6.0 got some more files than newer releases. Maybe 1.5.9 isn't that different.
Look for those files here and delete them as well. Maybe that helps you already.

Thank you for your help, my friend

But it doesn't seem to work

I have opened the program by deleting 5 "Languages" folders in "CustomBattle", "Native", "SandBox", "SandBoxCore" and "StoryMode" folders

By going to the third-party forum to find localized language patches, you can continue to play my archive

However, I will continue to play piracy until the government withdraws this stupid update or completely fixes this version

This irresponsible update doesn't even want me to change the steam to run in offline mode

Thank you again for your help, my friend

As far as I know, adding the new clip was only available in versions prior to 1.72, and now adding the new clip is not fixed and can't go back to 1.72, so how do we add clip.
