HELP, the game got stuck on pause.

[wayfarer1959]

I bought the game a few days ago, I really like it but I encounter many problems that I don't know how to solve, The last of these problems is that the game after I had accepted a mission the game froze on pause and I can't block it. Can anyone help me, can you tell me what happened? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I don't know what could have happened, but I tried to enter the game in other saves too, and also in this case the pause block occurs after I have accepted a mission. Once I accept the mission and I should start carrying it out I get stuck in pause ......yesterday i did a lot of missions and nothing ever happened the game was working perfectly,...what could have happened?........i'm using version 1.1.5.21456 that that I found with the purchase.......isn't it the latest version?......if you advise me to do it I can change the version but I don't understand why...... I hope you can help me ......

He means read them to see if a solution exists posted by the devs.

[wayfarer1959]

okay, I've already opened a discussion on that page too. Is the version of the game the right one?

Beta 1.20 is the most recent version of the game but it hasnt been released to live yet, but anyone can get it for testing. You could try that and see if your issues are fixed or you can wait til its moved to live. if you do that, youll need to do a proper cleaned re-install first

***To perform a Clean Install, Uninstall the game. You can do that by right-clicking the game on Steam Library and selecting Delete Local Content. Delete all folders related to the game that remains after the uninstallation. The folders that might have files inside:
Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord
C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord

Note: You'll need to allow Windows to display hidden folders and files to see the ProgramData folder and its contents.
At this stage, everything related to the game on your computer is deleted. Now you can re-install the game.***

At that point, you would choose the beta 1.20 instead of the regular game.

OK, I managed to unlock it but by clicking on another button that I guessed only by combination" the space "no longer works as a pause unlocker the new key which in this case took away my pause, (which I repeat I only identified for pure coincidence) it's the "dart up" me guys what may have happened I really don't know what to do. I hope there are no other problems, and that everything can finally work, with this game it was a somewhat stormy start. THANKS , I apologize if I have to bother you at other times to get knowledge about the game, which is "beautiful" but complex at least as a first impact, .... what I hope is that I don't have to consult you due to other failures or malfunctions but only relative to the gameplay.

[wayfarer1959]

1.20 ok,..... I go on like this and wait for the new version, which I now imagine is in beta version, to be released. In the afternoon after I had this unexplained failure, I also checked the FILE thinking that the problem was there, but luckily the test gave a positive result ...... I really don't know what could be the cause of this inconvenience, but I hope that in the future it will not continue to give me problems and that everything will work for me the best....has the game ever given you problems?

Maybe your keyboard is broken. The game always has new bugs every time they update with new content. But the game is always playable. You may experience new bugs playing the beta but also many bugs are also fixed, thats why its beta.

If you're using a "gaming keyboard" that has its own drivers, try setting the keyboard to a Window's "default" configuration or assign it to the standard system driver, if possible. The same may need to be done with gaming mice/etc just to troubleshoot.

Check the Bannerlord Options menu for current keybinds and settings, just to be sure.

If it appears that the dialogue for the mission is having mouse-clicks "intercepted," meaning that you can't manipulate it or click on it because it is not the focus window, but may be able to interact with other game and system elements (meaning that your PC didn't just "crash" at that dialogue) then disable the Steam Overlay for the game. (Steam-> Library-> Right-click on Bannerlord-> Properties-> Untoggle "Enable Steam Overlay" in the first tab, IIRC. (It's enabled by default.) Restart and try again to test.)

Let Steam Verify your local files. (Steam-> Library-> Right-click on Bannerlord-> Properties-> Local Files-> Verify)

I can understand how a mission could freeze the game or cause problems if the mission itself is buggy. If it doesn't happen with any other types of missions, you may want to bug-report that specific mission. If it happens with all missions, but nowhere else, that's going to take some detective work...

If you're running a third-party anti-virus (Something other than MS Windows Security) make sure the game and Steam have adequate permissions. (AV can sometimes keep the game from executing certain things.) You may also need to check Windows security if you've installed the game on a different drive or outside of the standard programs directory.

Good luck. :)

PS: This kind of game freeze could happen when a mission is bugged, so it's not necessarily your fault.

Guys I say this for everyone, I hope it will never be useful to anyone but it could be useful if someone were to find themselves in the same situation as me ...... I have partially solved my problem at least for the moment, I don't know what solution it can be be but I was given the opportunity to play again ... I EXPLAIN (I hope I'm sufficiently understandable and clear), not knowing where to hit my head and how to find a solution in the hope of finally solving the problem while the game does not wanted to unlock I randomly pressed other keys on the keyboard, magically clicking on the "arrow up" key the game exited pause mode and finally the game was reactivated, "attention to the" arrow up" key I didn't just have to click it but rather I had to keep it pressed continuously until at which I was able to start the mission. Everything is back in working order, the mission was successful, and in the continuation of the game, in all the other phases of the game, the PAUSE is activated and deactivated with the SPACE key normally,.... .when I accept a mission to be able to do it I have to unlock the Pause by holding down the "up arrow" key....this is what happened to me,now I can play but with this new Pause management system.I HOPE THAT HAS BEEN CLEAR ENOUGH IN MY EXPLANATION.
