For the last few days the game is constantly crashing when besiegeing castle or cities. You are able to go with your army to a castle or city, start the siege and when it's time to either Lead the assault or Send troops, when clicking on Lead the assault to be able to play the assault with your character, the loading screen shows up and after a bit, the following error message appears:

At first I thought it was just me, but I am starting to see other users with the same problem on the community discord (Mount and Blade Discord).

Any news on that? I was able to recreate the same error with multiple conditions:

1. The error appeared again when besiegeing a city alone with my own troops.
2. The error appeared again when besiegeing a city with my army (the troops from my party plus the troops from other noblemen in my army).
3. The error appeared again when besiegeing a castle alone with my own troops but joining an existing siege lead by noblemen from my same faction.

This bug is stopping me from playing because it basically doesn't allow you to make use of a basic functionality in the game: to siege castles/cities.

I play vanilla, no external mods added into my game, just the default stuff.

In my opinion, it is extremely urgent to patch it. Specially, since I am not the only user with this error, at least two more users were having the same problem on the Discord community.

Is there anything I can do from my end to speed up this process? Please, let me know, I'm more than happy to collaborate.

A brief update here. I was able to siege a city alone with my troops on an old savegame where I didn't belong to any faction. Could it be that the issue is related to the Vlandian faction?

Still no updates on this?

It will be great to understand if this topic is being picked up by the development team since the game got unplayable for me due to this issue. Thanks.

Also, letting you know that this is only happening since the 1.2.1 update.

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I have informed the devs about the issue and forwarded the valuable data you have provided, I am sure it will be helpful in the fixing process. Thank you for your patient and reporting it in.

Hi, can you share your save files? You can use a cloud service and post an open link on this thread.

Hi, sure, here it is. This is one of the broken saves: https://app.box.com/s/4ovihhzepv8n37wyp6ajzqzt81jugtyq

However I was able to reload it and lead an attack during a siege with no errors. Maybe this is something it got fixed for the 1.3 update?

Im getting a similar crash both when pressing lead assault (while leading army) during siege and attempting to join or attack for a field battle (while either leading or participating in an army)

Hi, please let us know if you encounter the problem again.

Have you opened a thread about your problem? Because it looks rather different and it would really help us to understand what is wrong if you can share the problem as suggested. If you have, please send me the link of the thread so i can get a closer look and gather the info for the devs.

Hi, are you still having the same problem after the latest patches?
