Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord News

• [p]Updated the “Visit” and “Talk” tooltips to display “Take a walk around the port and find Gunnar to talk to him.” instead of “This feature is disabled.” when the “Speak to Gunnar and Sister” quest is active.
  [/p]

• [p]Fixed a bug that caused AI behavior issues during the escape phase of the final storyline quest.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug that caused troops in the player’s party to lose their experience when entering and exiting the naval storyline.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug that prevented troops from leaving the oars to use the hooks.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug that caused ship debris to spawn during the Naval Order of Battle phase.[/p]

• [p]Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a save file created immediately after concluding the “Free the Sea Hounds’ Captives” quest mission.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a crash that occurred during land and naval battles related to the physics simulation.[/p]

• [p]Players will now be able to send crash dumps for launcher-related crashes. This should help resolve launch issues sooner.[/p]

• [p]We included a set of bug fixes that are meant to return your family to you (if you lost them after completing the naval storyline) and prevent them from disappearing in the first place.[/p]
  • [p]As family members can be in a number of different states, your experience may vary a bit:[/p]
    • [p]Family members like the younger brother and sister are disabled as long as their relevant quests are incomplete. This was already the case and wasn't changed.[/p]
    • [p]If your sister was spawned before becoming an adult, this version should despawn her when you load your savegame. She should spawn again upon becoming an adult.[/p]
    • [p]If you rescued your younger sister and she is an adult but she wasn't added to your clan, this version should add her to your clan and place her in a fugitive state when you load your savegame.[/p]
    • [p]If the adult sister disappeared in prior versions, she should enter fugitive state upon loading the save in 1.3.9 (and newer). If it happened after you made her a governor, she should be immediately spawned and returned to that position.[/p]
  • [p]Should another family member be missing (like the younger brother), the same rules apply.[/p]
  • [p]Please note that "fugitive state" has a 30% chance to spawn the character daily. So if this applies to your case, the sibling/s should spawn after 3-4 days.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug that caused the Transfer Troops action not to work correctly.[/p]

• [p]Fixed a crash that occurred when the leader of a siege leaves.[/p]

After a fairly substantial delay from June to November, the first Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord DLC, War Sails, has finally released. But the waters it permits players to wade through appear tepid, leading to a good chunk of fans of one of the best RPGs of the last few years feeling as if they've been left high and dry after a tiring wait for new content.
