Cant launch bannerlord

[zBread]

I have been trying to play the game but I cant launch it, I tried to download some mods specifically
developer console,
hideout party limit removed

Now I cant select any modules in the launcher thing so I cant play the game. I have tried reinstalling, deleting all the native modules and putting them back in, restarting my computer, deleting all the mods and verifying the game folders but I still cant select any native modules. From what i have seen nobody else has this issue and I really want some help

I have an issue everytime I have an update and relaunch the game. Simply restart your pc and it works for me. And mods aren't fully supported so they probably broke your game

If you want to use mods then you need to download the 'Launcher Fixer' mod.
Default launcher messes up load order sometimes and puts mods ahead of the game modules.
This causes crashes

Download this and activate your mods in the launcher when starting the game and make sure all your mods are after the games modules, native, sandbox, etc.

This does not work, its not that I cant use mods its that I cant use the games original modules, as in I cant select them.

The games original mods seem activated from the link you posted.
They are shaded normally, but the box shows they are activated.

I would 1st verify the game files, if the game still doesn't load up then I would do a fresh install.

Also try changing your game version to Beta 1.1.0
I am using this version and think its better and more optimised.
Expect possible instability later though as thats the experimental version.

Good luck

Also what are your hardware specs?
Just trying to eliminate any possible causes.

Also delete all mods and try it, as they could be placed in the wrong folder or have overwritten the wrong thing

[Skakk]

If you go with a fresh install, make sure to delete everything of the game off your pc.
When I did a fresh install a few days ago after having some issues with the launcher mod, I noticed that a Bannerlord folder remained in my steam folder and still contained the mods I was using. Seems uninstalling the game only removes the files/folders of the vanilla game

Got same problem. Resolved by this -
Unblock the mod's .dll files
Windows automatically flags .dll files downloaded from the internet as suspect and puts a security block on them. While this is usually good, it causes problems with Bannerlord's mod loading system. To fix this, open the Bannerlord Tweaks mod folder in your modules folder, then navigate to bin -> Win64_Shipping_Client. Right click on BannerlordTweaks.dll and select Properties. In the popup window, check the 'Unblock' checkbox at the bottom of the General tab. Do the same for 0Harmony.dll and ModLib.dll as well.

Unblock all files with PowerShell (advanced method)
If you feel comfortable using a terminal, you can use PowerShell to automatically unblock all files in the Bannerlord directory. This will fix not just the files for this mod, but those for others that have issues also. Follow the instructions below:
Spoiler: Show

In the Windows start menu, search for PowerShell
Right click on it and click 'Start as administrator'. A blue window will appear.
Open an explorer window and navigate to Bannerlord's Modules folder (this is where you installed your mods)
Click on the address bar and press Control+C to copy the address.
Go back to the PowerShell window and type: cd "
Paste the address using Control+V and type the closing quotation mark "
The result should look something like this:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules"

(Your location might be different, don't forget the quotation marks!)

Press enter.
Now type (or even better, copy the line and paste it into the PowerShell window): dir -Recurse | Unblock-File
Once you have entered that line, press enter.
The PowerShell window will work for a few seconds and then be finished. All the files in the Modules directory are now unblocked if they were blocked.


Try running the game in administrator mode
Navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client" then right click on the file named "TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.exe" and click properties. Go to the "Compatibility" tab and check the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox, then hit OK. (This requires you to have administrator priviliges on your computer.)

Thanks for pointing this out PolarFox.

The blocked .dll files seems to be a problem plagueing Win10 users who dont use WinRar to extract the mods to the bannerlord folder.

Or, rather, "How to give unknown .dll files free access to do whatever they fee like accessing just so one can use Mods for a game that has them temporarily locked out due to its Early Access program..."

/sigh

I havent got any mods, I deleted them all hoping for that to solve the issue, if you read the posts you would realize that im trying to get the NATIVE files to work.
