The Old Realms (TOR) is a total overhaul mod aimed at bringing Warhammer Fantasy Battles, from the tabletop to Mount & Blade: Bannerlord. We are currently in the early stages of our work, an ‘early access’ if you will, in which we are slowly populating the world with our overhauled factions.

Within the current Steam Release version of TOR, we have the Vampire Counts, several Empire-state factions, Bretonnian-dukedoms, including Mousillon, bringing Vampire visuals for the players. Additionally, the most recent update brings the Wood Elves to the fray through the Asrai and the Eonir. Further major features include combat magic, such as summoning the undead or casting fireballs, as well as the ability to place battle cannons are two major features present for both the player and Ai. The mod also brings forth several career paths and various tweaks to the game. All on our custom-made campaign map!




We highly recommend you read our Manual for our mod before you play! It provides you with a thorough overview of careers, magic, the factions and game features. Most of your questions will be answered here!

OR

1. Download all the files from our ModDB page: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-old-realms/downloads

The Old Realms does not officially support any mods other than Bannerlord Harmony (which is required). If you are encountering bugs or issues, please ensure before reporting or asking for tech support that the symptoms you are seeing are reproducible with a fresh new game running only the supported TOR modules with no other mods enabled.
Using at your own risk, the mod may be compatible with other mods that do not change factions, troops and the world map

If you have a previous version of our mod installed, you must:

• Completely remove all old TOR module folders
  
• Delete your shader cache from C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Shaders (delete both TerrainShaders and CoreShaders folders)

Note: Please be aware that ProgramData is a folder hidden by Windows by default. You must adjust your Windows view settings to be able to see it

The very first time you load the game after downloading and enabling our mod will be slow. The game will appear to be stuck on the loading screen - this is normal. The game is compiling shaders in the background. Depending on your PC's specifications, this may take anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour. Once you are in the main menu, it is highly recommended that you pick the option to "Build Shader Cache". This will also result in a long loading screen, but once you are done, your gameplay experience is going to be smooth. This step is not mandatory, but if you choose to not do it, your campaign will have many 5 minute loading screens when loading into battles until you have encountered all types of armies/parties with all of our custom assets present.

This shader compiling process currently is repeated, every time Tale Worlds is publishing an update for the base gam or upon changing game version / graphic settings

FIX: We found a fix to drastically reduce the loading times – by deleting all game shaders. This will reduce overall the recompiling of the shaders a lot, to just a few minutes. WARNING: ANY other shader of the vanilla game or other mods get lost in this process and have a small recompile time.
To do please follow the following instruction:

-Step 1-
Navigate to your program data folder either by…

• … Type %programdata% in your search bar(or press win key + r )->Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
  
  OR
  
  
• … Enable hidden folders and go to C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
  In the folder, target folder delete the “Shaders” folder.

-Step 2-
Navigate to your Bannerlord installation folder and go into the Shaders->D3D11 folder by….

• … navigating in the explorer to C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
  
  OR
  
  
• …. right click Bannerlord in Steam->browse files-> Shaders\D3D11 )
  Inside that folder, you should see a file called compressed_shaders_cache.sack, delete that as well.

-Step 3-

A new step now since we have some shaders built-in is;

• Navigate to; Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/261550/3025575223/shaders/D3D11/ delete the compressed_shader.cache.sack file
  
  OR
  
  
• Rightclick bannerlord in steam -> manage -> browse local files -> in the bar click on steamapps/workshop/content/261550/3025575223/shaders/D3D11/ delete the compressed_shader.cache.sack file

What took us in a test case 3 hours in total (loading into the main menu and shader cache) now only took us about 10 mins.
You may experience first some slight stuttering in the game at first, since some shaders are loading on the fly. The problem will however vanish once all shaders have been loaded.
