No, I didn't use any mods.
Summary: Game will not launch from Steam. I have reinstalled several times, updated all drivers multiple times, deleted the files from my documents, pretty much every solution I've read about online to correct this issue. I have also updated windows to current. I can get to the menu to click play but when I click it nothing happens. I even tried to run from the Native Launcher in the BIN folder.

How to Reproduce: Click on launch from multiple sources.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Please have a look at our launcher not 'Launcher not Launching' / Game is not launching Workarounds
If you experiencing any issues with the launcher, you can try the workarounds below to fix it. Please let me know if the issue is persistent.
  • The first thing to do when experiencing any issue with the game is verifying the game files. After an update, there is always a chance of some of the game files being corrupted or missing. Doing this will verify that the game files are installed correctly. You can also check our guide regarding this here.
  • Deleting the configs folder of the game located in the Documents folder. Please keep in mind that this will also delete your saved options of the game. Don't forget to back up the files if you don't want to lose them. (C:\Users\user.name\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs)
  • You can try to delete the contents of the folder below and verify the game files afterwards. "steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\bin"
  • If you have installed a mod called Fixed Launcher in the past, you need to make sure that you have deleted its files. These files can block the launcher from launching. The files of the aforementioned mod.
  • Check your Windows Defender settings for Ransomware Protection. You should add Bannerlord to the list under the Controlled Folder Access. To do that:
  • - Open Windows Defender Security Center.
  • - Click on Virus & threat protection.
  • - Click the Virus & threat protection settings option.
  • - Under "Controlled folder access," click the Allow an app through the Controlled folder access link.
  • - Click the Add an allowed app button to add Bannerlord.
  • Deleting the "spriteData.xml" file located in the "steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\GUI\GauntletUI" folder can fix the issue. This is an obsolete xml file that the game is not using. However, if a mod is installed before changing this file, the game tries to use it and crashes.
  • Deleting the logs folder located under the "C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord" folder. Please note that the ProgramData folder is a hidden folder by default.
  • If none of the workarounds above helped you, you can try to launch the game via the TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.Singleplayer.exe and TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.Multiplayer.exe files located in the folder below:
  • "...:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client"
  • Check your OneDrive folder contents. Even if it is disabled we have seen users post that their files have been changed with the previous OneDrive synced files. You should try deleting your OneDrive files. More info about that can be found here.
 
M&B2 needs AVX and your 12900k does support it but may be set disable in your mainboard bios.
So make sure you set AVX2 support enable in AVX Related Controls in bios.
