The patch has been released on PC and will follow to other platforms once the remaining obstacles have been resolved.


Crashes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when parties entered a settlement to exchange troops.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when the player rescued an imprisoned companion and gave them to a new party, while having a custom filter on the Party screen.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when riderless mounts tried to find a retreat position.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred due to a deprecated policy being referenced in map notifications.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when assigning traits to teen heroes.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when talking to someone through the Clan screen while being in a settlement.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to attack the besieger party after accepting a peace offer from that same enemy faction.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when a raid of a village that had no notables finished.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when a settlement claimant decision was canceled.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when entering missions or the campaign map.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when ending the mercenary contract through dialogue.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that prevented the player from leaving a siege after making peace with the enemy as an independent clan.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused party roles to be reset after the Rival Gang Leader quest battle.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the town’s security to increase on success rather than decrease (and the other way around) during the Bounty Hunter quest.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the courtship to end due to the player being in an army.

Changes

• Certain Aserai helmets that were previously unavailable in shops have been made accessible.

Crashes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when exiting the lobby as the News items were loading.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that prevented the player from speeding its mount up after dying and taking control of another unit in Captain mode.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the LogOutputPath launch argument from working for Dedicated Servers - now replaced with LocalOutputDir.

Changes

• A multiplayer refactor that represents a deeper technical change towards a more scalable infrastructure has gone Live over a week ago. We expect it to provide greater flexibility in the backend development, help with our long-term server support, and resolve several issues with services not scaling appropriately during heavy load - i.e. it should help with lobby connectivity during a sudden increase in player numbers during f.e. an event.

The Bannerlord Native League[forums.taleworlds.com] team is organizing the fifth iteration!

For those unfamiliar with BNL, it is a community skirmish tournament where teams are split into divisions - with multiple teams in each division. Usually, one match is played per week against the other teams. This leads to some epic competitive fights with teams on similar footing, with more skilled players in higher divisions!

This iteration of the tournament also comes with a heavy Loot prize up for grabs.

The first matches will be organized from Monday, September 23. onward


The Calradic Campaign team is organizing the fourthy-third event in their Bannerlord series - “Revenge for Rotash”. Join up for some hack & slash today at 20:00 UTC on their Calradic_Campaign server using their Module.

Greetings warriors of Calradia!

Before we dive into this edition of #CommunityTales, we would like to invite you to the next official Multiplayer event, where two of our passionate content creators will be leading the charge.

Hope to see you there!


Come join us next Saturday for the ninth official large-scale Battle & Siege event with up to 600 players on the same server.

This time, we have something special in store! Two renowned content creators in the Bannerlord community, Captain Fracas (Twitch[www.twitch.tv] / YouTube) and Jackie Fish (YouTube / Twitch[www.twitch.tv]), will lead their factions in an epic showdown.
For Battles, we will be using maps initially made for Captain mode. In the last Battle mode map, we will have a special rule “Protect the King” - if either Captain Fracas or Jackie Fish falls in battle first, their faction instantly loses. Players are encouraged to form protective formations around their leaders and follow strategic plans laid out by Captain Fracas and Jackie Fish.

Playing in the event will also grant you three times the Loot & Exp that you would normally get.

• Date & Time: Saturday, 31st of August, 18:00 UTC
  
• Server Name: [EVENT] Calradic War #9 - Captain Fracas vs Jackie Fish
  
• Game Mode: Battle & Siege

Now Let’s check out some of the most recent creations from our community.
