In Progress Game wont start

[REX Favilla]

Same problem. Nvidia GTX 745. Can get white screen and a flash of a loading screen with the .exe but that crashes immediately as well. Nothing at all when launched from Steam. Checked antivirus, updated the C++ and .NET. I think it's something that needs to be fixed with a patch maybe.

I'd add that the game apparently has software dependencies they elected not to package with it, which is unprofessional at best and uncaring at worst. I've never before seen a major release which didn't include all its dependencies, whether that's Visual C++ redistributables, .NET frameworks, DirectX, etc.

Ultimately installing these dependencies has only fixed the problem for some of us, but the fact remains that they knew the game needed these software packages and left them out, which led to more people being unable to play the game.

I'm very surprised this still isn't fixed. All the other bugs people are reporting are more or less what you'd expect from an early access release, but you don't expect so many people to have trouble even starting the game at all.

100% agree, Is the first timeI cant run a game (even EA) and is not a free game. Is frustrating.

I had the same issue as loads of people in this thread. Downloaded the new patch and ran the exe as an admin and the game worked

The 1.01 patch?

 

[Admiral_Snackbar]

1.02. Patch did nothing for me.

1.02 also did nothing for me. I also tried additional troubleshooting steps like deleting the file in CNs and changing language and region settings to UK English.

Here are the logs from the Steam launch and the .exe launch if anyone wants to compare:

Launching the Native .exe is the only on that gets me to the running horse loading screen, the rest just don't do anything when I launch them.

Same for me - nothing changed after the patch ?

Check this out guys.

Apparently our little game breaking crash is not even listed as a known issue right now.

[Hernaux]

I can understand not packing the third party dependencies, but at the very least they should have provided a list of what you need and minimum version numbers. The current help thread basically tells you to install latest everything which isn't very helpful for those that have older versions of windows that do not support latest stuff.

The game claims to support Windows 7 and 10, so I should be able to play it on a fresh off-the-shelf version of either of those, just by clicking "Install" on Steam. If the game relies on some later service pack, drivers or whatever it may be, those files need to be included in the game installation. Every other dev company on Steam manages that. It's simply how it's supposed to be.

As far as I can see, the help thread downloads are minimum versions, not the latest versions. The fact that they're mostly dated to more than half way through development is pretty poor if that's the case, though.

Guys, I managed to launch the game by manually going to the installation directory \bin\Win64_Shipping_Client and launching Bannerlord.exe

where is the installation directory

 

[REX Favilla]

I just reinstalled the third party stuff and restarted my computer and it's working now.

What's just damn hilarious is this "non-issue" is the biggest thread in the issues section.

 

[Meevar the Mighty]

They had a sticky dedicated to the issue before they even made that thread.

See the "In Progress" at the top left? They are clearly working on this issue. They just for some reason forgot to add it to the new thread.

 

[Parachute007]

Patch 1.02 has changed nothing for me. The game still fails to start in exactly the same manner.
