Patch Notes e1.6.4

[hsngrms]

i lost all my workshops after my hero died. Is this intended ? I mean the clan still exists with companions and 1 castle and wife is heir but all my 4 workshops disappeared. (They are not in a town which got conquered from enemy).

You didn't asked for a way to buy these workshops back but still if you are interested, I have a mod called "Profitable Workshops", which changes workshop price to 1 denar, so you can get them back easily. You can safely delete the mod anytime you want or keep it if you like.

Proton BattlEye when?

The multiplayer changes sound great. Finally shock troops and cavalry nerfs, and throwing weapons damage increase fills my heart with joy.

Crashes

• Fixed a number of bugs that were causing servers to crash.

Nice update, but may i suggest that the game always sets up 1 extra server per gametype as a spare or more if more servers fill up?

For example tonight we played a few really nice games with full servers and the game didn't crash in game. Thanks for that. But after the game the server still crashes regularly during the score board or during transition to next game. When that happens, sometimes the server doesnt come back for a very long time, which is a shame. In this case there was one full siege server and no one could come back. If there was a spare, we could continue. Would that be possible as a work around?

We're investigating the issues you described. Thanks for your feedback.

This isn't intended, we'll be fixing it.

Any hints as to why this rather small looking hotfix update involves a 7.3 GB download on Steam? The size makes it appear like a massive content update, I expected maybe a move to 1.6.5., but then turned very surprised when I saw the changelog?

 

[ikKO]

Voov what great innovations! Do your developers actually play the multiplayer part?
I've been playing since the first day you put it on sale..
You hardly made any progress on the multiplayer side..
Fps drop event continues.. the game does not work stably even on powerful cards and systems
Servers are messed up..servers lags too much especially european servers..
in the previous update we regained the old fighting ambiance @Dejan I remember telling you this during a siege war
But again you are giving us a terrible experience. No fluency! serial attack is not possible. there are ridiculous delays there is a sense of emptiness during defense and attack..


I hope someone cares about what I wrote.

We use a texture streaming technology/system that allows for better performance within the game. This packages resources in a specific way which causes even minor adjustments to lead to changes to larger packages. This package in its entirety is then redownloaded by Steam. That's why a patch can end up being larger despite having minor art-related changes.

If you would prefer to download patches/hotfixes less often, you can stick with an older version for a longer period of time.

So why do you fool players with the content updated before MP？

So as not to overcrowd Steam, our website,... with "Hotfix announcements" we occasionally release "silent" fixes that contain minor changes. In this particular case, we've let you know about these changes in the Balance Patch: design insights + full changelog the moment they arrived in the past days. Now, we have combined all those minor as well as new changes in the Hotfix announcement to inform all the players about the recent changes, not just those of you that follow what is being posted on our forums.

Gud, maybe a tip to add a small header for that though as it only causes confusion and frustration.

I'm not completely sure that this is a "real" problem or something about my machine (however, BGIII still runs as smooth as silk, and I'm not seeing any problems with other demanding games) - but ever since the 1.6.4 patch, I've been practically unable to play Bannerlord for the first time since early on in the development process.
The first problems were repeated Disk Write Errors to my external SSD - which I've never had before with any Steam game. It took a few different tries to clear that up, but then two consecutive validations followed by a repeated uninstall and fresh install kept leaving me with 'corrupted files' that needed to be redownloaded. I think the last one after the validation after the last clean install has left me OK, but it's acting like there's a serious memory leak again - when I open any of the windows, like garrison management in a castle or town, or trading in a village or town, the game will repeatedly freeze up for a minute or more during the process. Thumbnail images take a long time to load, and sometimes the paperdoll models will be just a head, feet, weapons and shield for over a minute while the loading catches up. Everything takes so much longer, from buying or selling supplies, to transferring troops within my army, simply because of these repeated freezes. Luckily this doesn't happen during large combats, but the game has crashed several times at the very beginning of a combat.
Up until recently, I didn't mind going back and restarting the game after a significant patch, but this game was going quite well and I was looking forward to actually moving into the later stages of clan development (children growing up, etc.). I don't actually want to sound like a whiner - I've been having a blast since I came back to it after leaving it for about 6 months, and this came as kind of a shock. I thought it was my setup at first, but nothing else I have, Steam or otherwise, seems to be having this sort of problem (yet).
The worrying thing is that it doesn't look like anybody else is struggling with this sort of thing, so I may have to scrap this game, and put Bannerlord back onto my regular HD again. Maybe it just doesn't like SSDs, or maybe my SSD doesn't like it. Anyway, this is really just a long, grumpy comment; I suspect that whatever the problem is, it's a system-related one, not a program-related one, and I'll just have to do some rearranging when I get around to it. It's a shame, because the game has really filled out nicely, and it was a real pleasure to play up until the patch. Everybody involved has done some good work!

I've noticed that happening too and I believe it has something to do with the shaders cache (ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Shaders). I had to delete it a few times in the past (notably after launching a mismatching version of the modding kit, the game would crash after showing a black screen and a messed up loading sprite), and the game takes a long time to rebuild it with the exact same behavior as the one you describe. Basically it looks like the game is compiling shaders during gameplay, but maybe it's something else.

Terrible update, totally messed up hair textures! Also are you guys ever going to fix the pilum? The Ai can't throw it in single player!!!
