The 1.02 is the second such patch since its Early Access release, following yesterday's 1.01 patch. Many of the crashes were tied to certain quests, actions, and interactions with certain groups of NPCs such as mercenaries. Via patch notes posted to developer TaleWorlds' website, several of those crashes and bugs have now been addressed, and Steam cloud saves were added.

As with most Early Access releases, however, the launch had its bumps, and several players reported issues with game-breaking bugs and frequent crashes. Hype and anticipation for the prequel eight years in the making was high, and even though Doom Eternal released just ten days before, Bannerlord's Steam launch surpassed it. The game is currently a PC exclusive, with console releases of Mount & Blade 2 a long way away.īannerlord improves on the core formula of cult-hit Warband by adding more strategy to its sieges, with destructible environments and new siege engines improvements were also made to dialogue for both recruiting and courtship, and even allowing for children to be born that will inherit their parent's lands if the player character dies. Bannerlord takes place 210 years before the events of Warband, putting it closer on the historic timeline to the Migration Period, not long after the fall of the Roman Empire. Players can eventually become lords and even kings of certain factions, or create their own.

Mount & Blade is a realistic Medieval RPG where players lead a party of soldiers across a large map, completing quests and fighting in large-scale battles. The game finally hit Early Access one day earlier than expected on March 30th. Bannerlord was announced way back in 2012, with a Steam page existing since 2016. Bannerlord is the long-awaiting follow-up to the 2008 RPG Mount & Blade and its 2010 standalone expansion Mount & Blade: Warband. A new patch for Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord focuses on fixing several of the Early Access release's crash problems.
