Warband crashes upon launch

[Byrius]

Warband has been working fine for the past couple of months. But upon getting 1.161 (I updated while having mods installed), the game crashes immediately after the intro cut-scenes. What will happen is the second window will open, but will crash without doing anything. I have tried completely uninstalling and removing all mods from the workshop and elsewhere, verifying my game cache multiple times, and have even re-installing the game. I have also tried using the beta version, to see if that works. None of these solutions have worked at all so far, and I want to freaking annihilate already, so please tell me if there is anything I can do to fix this. (I have ALSO tried turning off various settings, like load textures on demand, to no avail)

Nevermind, I fixed it. After messing around with my running programs, I disabled Overwolf. This somehow resurrected my game and it all works fine now. My saves are corrupted though.........

Having the exact same problem, except I don't use Overwolf and I don't run any overlay in-game. Never had this problem before on Steam. Any solutions?

my warband is not launching because after the intro there pops up a box that says:
'generic enable debug output for detailed information switching to the reference rasterizer a software that impacts the entire direct3D feature set,but runs very slow'
after that another box pops up:
'Warning, nothing will be rendered. the reference rendering device was selected but your computer only has a reduced functionality reference device installed install the directx SDK to get the full rendering device'
and then it stops working......anybody know how to fix it?
