Summary: When I start the game with the launcher it crashes on the first loading screen with a crash report. Game is playable when opened with Bannerlord.Native file.
How to Reproduce: Click play on the launcher
Have you used cheats and if so which: Issue started after an install after a factory reset.

Performed a factory reset on my laptop. Installed the game, verified game files, windows 10 and gpu driver is up to date, deleted the bannerlord folder in documents, and made sure the launcher is exempted from the anti-virus and firewall. Also made sure the .net framework and the microsoft visual C++ are installed.

The only way I can play the game is if I open it with the Bannerlord.Native file instead of the launcher. I got to the main menu and got to start up a new game and load into a saved game as well. But I cannot use mods if I do it like this. My latest crash report is "2021-08-08_15.21.36_cdc2d91b3812dd17f387ed7cd5d03784"

If you devs could tell me if I'm missing a program to play it through the launcher that would be awesome.
 
I wanna piggyback this thread. I have exactly the same issue and have had it since day one. I thought it might be fixed with time but it's still the case. When I try to launch a new campaign or continue my current one the game crashes. When I click on options, all I get is a brown screen.
The native exe works though. Performance was also good when I played in January. In June it was quite bad though.
 
Well, this is certainly interesting. I just started the game with the launcher (so the normal exe, not Native), when I pressed on continue campaign the game cautioned me that the versions are different (SandboxNative vs Sandbox), but it loaded without an issue. I'll check out later if the game has any problems and may come back to this.

I wanted to start the normal exe so I could crash it, but it doesn't crash now.
 
So the game loaded a really old save when I pressed "continue campaign". My most recent save does indeed crash.

My Identifier is this:
2021-10-12_11.03.31_d22809e1a53adb2648c531c5eeb5ac79
 
I still do, although now it's different. I could load the save file, but the game thought my character was somewhere in no man's land. I couldn't enter the city I was in and when I tried to engage a bandit party the game crashed.

Edit: Native works fine.

I'm having the same issue, installed on two computers one with an older graphics card and one with a newer one and both crashed upon clicking Continue Campaign. Happened with a campaign on both Sandbox and Story mode.
