Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

The Old Realms - Core (Season of Doom)
Where are the mod files located?
I keep getting initial load crashes since the update. I have tried following the recommended steps of unsubscribing from the three mods, then subscribing again. It still crashes while trying to load. On a different mod I had a similar issue where I had to "unblock" the dll files. So my question is, since the TOR mods don't appear in the modules folder, where are they installed?
Aside from the needed Harmony MOD, I am running completely vanilla, so it is not a mod conflict.

UPDATE: Mod finally loaded, after deleting the program data shader files, but now it crashes while compiling the shaders.

What does your crash say? You dont need to unblock any dll files unless it tells you "cannot load dll files".

And all workshop mods are located in the workshop folder.
The crash message is the usual bannerlord crash message.

The application faced a problem. We need to collect necessary files to fix this problem. Would you like to proceed.

I get the same error both while trying to compile the shaders or character creation.

Also none of the mod files appear in the "modules" folder, not even the harmony mod.

When I go into the properties of any of the dll files there is no "unblock" checkbox.

Should I try downloading both the mod and harmony from moddb or something and extract and install manually?

workshop mods never go into the modules folder, they go into your steam/workshop folder.

And if the error does not say anything about dll, then its not a dll issue.

Is your load order correct? not using any other mods?
Still not working no mods running and after following this step, even the base game no longer works after validating the files.

-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.

There is nothing more i can do from steam, join discord and post load order and screenshot of the error there.

No worries, I am not on discord, but I am next going to try to uninstall and reinstall of the game. See if I can get at least the base vanilla game working again before I try anything else.

Load order is simple, with only four boxes checked.
Harmony

Armory

Environment

core.

But since the game is currently just showing me either a black or white screen with the mouse pointer and sounds in the background even on "safe" mode. There are some serious issues.

Thanks for the assistance and the great mod you are working on.

black screens sound like corrupted shaders, try the workaround listed in discussions and after that, go to the workshop files, you'll have to find TOR_armory which has a shader folder, open shaders->D3D11->compressed_shader_cache.sack , delete that sack file

I will have to try that tomorrow, I am reinstalling the game and the internet here in Australia is stone aged.

I was having the black or white screens with both the mod and vanilla.

Omo same issue as you bro, did you fix it? :(

Nope, after 2 days trying to fix it, I ended up uninstalling the mod and just playing the base game again.

I did later find when my bios was reset by a faulty windows update, that I have one of those K- series CPUs that has a 50% fail rate.

Oh that's sad. While for me I found my issue. It was because like I cleaned install new bannerloed just to play the mod... So I didn't launch the base game yet. I directly launch the mod which caused it to crash, bcz the My program file for bannerloed didn't get created (need to launch vanilla game once).

Anyways after that I close and run the mod and everything worked fine. I hope you get to try the mod one day bro, it's rlly good ;)

I was playing the mod before they updated it and it worked fine so I know how good it is.
I am in the process of getting a new CPU because the tech who built my system refused to honour either his build warranty or the extended intel warranty for the K-series chips. I believe it was my CPU because I am getting similar issues on MANY games now.

That sucks to hear, which CPU you going for ? I keep hearing AMD is doing pretty well in CPUs ( their GPUs seem to have some issues depending on the driver version )

I am not sure, on one hand I don't want a "raptor lake" intel chipset. But living in a subtropical area means that AMD have serious cooling issues.

Anyway, good to hear that the mod is going strong, and I will be playing it again once my frequent crashing issues are resolved.
