If you are reporting a bug, please head over to our Technical Support section for Bannerlord.
I'm sorry but I finally give up, what the hell are TW doing? Nothing new in 3 weeks. Whoever is managing this team needs the boot.

Iirc they said in the past (a few years ago?) that they would look into it, but since then TW has been pretty adamant that they wouldn't do co-op. The impression I get from them is that it's not worth the time and effort.
They might as well be thinking of anti-matter engines and cold fusion at this point. It may happen, just not on your life time.
due to reractor they encountered new bugs and crashes. they want to publish stable version, whenever they solve those. because of getting new problems while testing they are trying avoid us date. quoted from turkish forum.
Well I'm sure they would have done that earlyer if it were possible.
Bannerlord is not "early access", Bannerlord game is "alpha". Tale Worlds clearly used this lie about "early access" to fool people into thinking this Bannerlord is somewhat complete so Tale Worlds could charge full price $ for a game that is "almost complete". Fact is Bannerlord is no where near being "almost complete".
When I read about "early access" by Tale Worlds, I was under the impression the game is mostly complete and just needed a bit more content/polish... however, Bannerlord needs A LOT more work.. not a bit or a little.
Most companies out there give steep discounts for customers buying into a game at alpha stage. But not Tale Worlds, along comes Tale Worlds and claims "early access" instead of "alpha".
"Early access" implies the game is past alpha and "mostly" complete.
Bannerlord is still many years away from the base game being content complete. <<-- This is called an alpha stage in all other companies.
Shame on Tale Worlds on the "Early Access" lies. Bannerlord is an alpha stage game, pure and simple.

Early access is a largely meaningless term. To some companies that means from the first point that is somewhat playable - to some it's basically a form of pre-order. Some companies never even finish EA. Taleworlds have a history of early access success and that is no doubt why they went a similar route this time as well. I hate to say it but you made the choice to play the game EA - the store page was very very clear about the features that were missing and also on the expectations for completion. No one lied to you.
Now you can complain that the game isn't being updated very quickly (which is somewhat true) but your concept of 'early access' is way way off. Early access does not imply or mean anything except "The game isn't finished".
You had plenty of opportunity to read reviews, watch gameplay videos and can even refund within 2 hours of starting. But making up specific definitions for vague terms is pointless.
"Early access, also known as early funding, alpha-access, alpha founding, or paid-alpha, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can purchase and play a game in the various pre-release development cycles, such as pre-alpha, alpha, and/or beta."
Make of that what you will...
Gaming development stages = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_development#Alpha
NO where is there a stage called "early access".
Tale Worlds specifically and intentionally is not calling Bannerlord "alpha" because Tale World wants to charge full price for a game that is still many years away from being complete.
There is ZERO other reasons why Tale Worlds would not use the team "alpha"..
Make no mistakes folks, Tale Worlds intentionally did not call Bannerlord "alpha" because they want to charge full price to customers for a game that is no where near complete to "gold".
Bannerlord = alpha stage game.
Tale Worlds not correctly calling Bannerlord "alpha" = LIES TO THE CUSTOMER

I can't think of any games which are released to be sold as "alpha".
THANK YOU !
I can think of only one game and it is minecraft

Do you hear yourself?
No one sells games as 'Alpha' or 'Beta'. Early access just means it is not finished. I literally provided a definition of the term early access for you...
That means it could be Alpha or it could be a day from completion - it means nothing beyond "GAME NOT DONE!!"
There was a huge description describing the current features, the expected features and the timelines for implementation. Argue with me all day about the progress since EA and you may have a point - but saying TW lied is just childish.
Please read this and understand why EA is not the same as Alpha, Beta etc.... You yourself even stated that EA does not appear on the life-cycle of a game - that's because it's a completely separate concept!

Preorder = You order a finished game and get some goodies for it. Usually you can preoder games like 2-4 monthe before the "final" release. Most of the time you often get also a small discount.
EA is not preorder. And EA shouldn´t be the alpha stage of a game for full price. It doesn´t get better if other companies do the same thing. I´m also not aware of that many EA games for full price. I can´t even think of one, but surely there exist/existed more.
Oh sorry I wasn't aware you had a legal definition of EA to hand - can you please link your references to this statement?
Here you go with the humble bundle store definition:
support.humblebundle.com
Here ist Steams definition:
partner.steamgames.com
.
So even the store they first released the game literally says:
Early Access is not a pre-purchase
So please come on....
Can you please give me a definition that says, that preorder is the same as EA?
As an another example, you can preorder Cyberpunk right now, but it won´t be in EA when it will be released. Same goes for a hundred other game titles.
Thanks!

We aren't talking about pre-orders you have gone off on a tangent. We are talking about EA not being defined and not being part of the development cycle. Every companies definition and use of EA is different and called TW liars is ridiculous. EA could mean Pre-Alpha or it could mean almost finished it's not a valid complaint and it reeks of attention seeking.Here you go with the humble bundle store definition:
