Now the crash report

  Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
  Application Name: mb_warband.exe
  Application Version: 1.0.0.0
  Application Timestamp: 4bb1ab6e
  Fault Module Name: mb_warband.exe
  Fault Module Version: 1.0.0.0

// note I am NOT running 1.0 of the game, using the updated version.

I DO NOT have that folder in my documents whereupon a deletion seems to be the end-all be-all cure, rlg config I believe. Nor do I have an rlg log in the main directory.

Now here's where it gets a bit tricky. The game ran fine this morning, [0700 GMT] then I ran into a visual glitch, resolved that by simply going to main menu & loading my game back.
I eventually hit a spot to where I was too tired to continue [0400 local time at this point] but I wanted to check something in-game just before I went to bed. blah blah blah


This is when I started to get the crash report above. I've uninstalled the game more than once, I have it installed in two separate places to see if that was the issue [ I put it in a games folder in my program files the first time] and get this, now the game crashes when I launch it from the installer, before I can activate it with a serial key, etcetera. I'm no stranger to trouble shooting games and I'm absolutely at my wits' end on this one. I've gotten the intro movie to play, the taleworlds_intro.bik by using the launcher and immediately hitting play, then as soon as the movie starts I get the crash error, the .bik ends and I'm back to desktop.

i am having the same problem as well.  I tried to get support from steam but they told me that it was taleworlds responsibility to find a fix.  i have also uninstalled and re-installed the game and done the other stuff but it still doesn't work.

First thing's first, check your "Load Textures On Demand" option in the settings. Unchecking that can fix a great number of problems.

Now, if that's failed try checking  the "Force Single Threading" option. This can also fix some problems with the game.

i write it here again because there is two posts for this problem, but your recommendation didn't fix it unfortunately
