Summary:
When i launch the game through Steam the launcher open as normally. Tho there isn't a picture of the updates like there used to. When i launch either Singleplayer or Multiplayer then launcher closes and then nothing more happens. I can see both on Steam and in the joblist that the game is running but there is no sound and no window has oppend. On the job list it takes up about 15% of my CPU power somehow.
So far i have tried:
  • Reinstall
  • Update graphicdrivers
  • Move it to a diffrent hard drive, both ssd and hdd
  • Vertify gamefiles
  • Ran it as administrator
  • tried diffrent versions (1.6.0 beta, no beta and several older versions) also version that i knew worked before
  • Launching the game directly through the .exe files
  • Deleted config files
  • deleted old saves
Anyone that has a solution for this issue?

Have you tried the clean install? Also, can you check if there are any third-party apps that might be interfering with the game. Such as Microsoft OneDrive. If you have it please disable it or check the settings if the app is using the folders in the documents.
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 while you just want to remove the modifications? Unfortunately, some of the modifications do not just add a new modules folder but also change or adds contents to the existent modules folder. Without a reinstall, we can't be sure those files are unchanged.

To perform a Clean Install, Uninstall the game. You can do that by right-clicking the game on Steam Library and selecting Delete Local Content. Delete all folders related to the game that remains after the uninstallation. The folders that might have files inside:
Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
Epic: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord

Note: You'll need to allow Windows to display hidden folders and files to see the ProgramData folder and its contents.

‘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:
  • 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)
  • 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.
  • 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.
 
You can bypass the steam way to launch the game by going to
Program files (x86)>steam>steamapps>common>Mount & Blade Warband II Bannerlord> bin>Win64ShippingClient> Launch "Bannerlord.Native
(you can also save this file as a shortcut and move it to you desktop until a fix is made)(I had the exact same issue)

That didn't work, it just uses about 17% of my cpu and 8MB of memory but no window opens.
