Resolved Launcher not working

[Revolt500]

Summary: When I start the launcher it doesn't open.
Things I have tried:
1. Verifying game files
2. Deleting and reinstalling ( I also tried a clean install. )
3. Checking/Updating drivers, Windows,etc
4. Launching game from M&B Bannerlord -> bin -> Win64_shipping_client -> bannerlord ( It only worked with Bannerlord.Native file. )
5. repeated the above set trying to run in administrator ( I tried to put admin permission on both the launcher and the MB file and once again just the Bannerlord.Native file. worked )
6.
Delete files in bin and check;
Delete files in ProgramData folder and check;
Delete files in documents and check ;
Delete everything in Modules and check;
Delete everything at once, including the MB folder on Steam and check;
Delete config folder and check.


The problem displays the following message >
'' Module xml ../../Modules/SandBoxCore\SubModule.xml cant be loaded, there are some errors ''

The tool crash did not work and left the following message
> '' Cannot send the report files to server. Message: System.I.O.FileNotFoundException:Could not load file or assembly 'System.xml, Version = 4.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies the system cannot find the specified file

Hello, can you please check and update your dotnet(.net) version if it is not up to date? You can try the windows 10 version.

I forgot to mention that I had already checked dotnet, and I followed the instructions from (I believe) all the links in the crashes part of this forum, but thanks for your attention !

Hello, thank you for stating out. Can you please let me know the version of the dotnet version you have installed and about your windows language and keyboard region settings?

Hello, i will forward this info to our QA team for further inspection. Thank you for your time.

It seems like your c# runtime is not able to load System.xml binary and as a result the xml files that are used by the game/crash uploader can not be red/written. Probably, this also causes your Launcher not to start up. It may be due to a .netframework/.netcore installation problem. Can you please uninstall then start a clean install with the required dotnet packages from these links ?

dotnet framework =>

dotnet core =>

‘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.

Hello, i am glad the problem is solved. Please let us know if you encounter any other issues.

I found a solution to my problem too, open the command prompt as adm and use the SFC /SCANNOW command, it will repair the dotnet, after that check the files in steam.
