Game doesn't start after launcher...?

[FatMan]

Hi folks,
I have over 400 hrs in Bannerlord, but it has been a few month, since last install and playsession.
Now I open the launcher--> Singleplayer (no mods, nothing only BL)--> start --->

nothing happens: and by that I mean, it starts in the backround (I do find it in task manager and in Steam the "play" button turns to "stop") but nothing else. No freaking game, NOTHING.

So not even a flicker and a crash, just nothing...

Any tips, tricks, hints? What I have done so far:
-deinstalled, deleted all BL folders
-reinstalled --> exactly the same happens;

all other games seem to work in steam; since last time playing the game all I changed was getting 16 GB more ram, now having 32:
-Ryzen 5 - 3600
-RTX 580
-32 GB RAM -3200
PLZ HELP (vacation started and this week I wanted to play/start a new BL campaign with all the added stuff...!)

"Deleted all Bannerlord folders" <- Did you delete the User directory as well?

Have you ever used mods? If so, make sure they're all gone. ALL bits of them, especially any .dll files that were pushed/installed to the root. Simply untoggling them in the launcher will not work to give you authentic vanilla play as the exe is still going to be looking at what a .dll file tells it to look at.

Check Tech support - There's a couple of files you can delete, that will be reconstructed on launch, that might help. (Can't remember which.)

As always:

Rebooting after a big install helps, sometimes. Also, exiting Steam (Steam-> Exit), rebooting, then restarting Steam can help clear its caches.

You should also check your Antivirus to be sure it's giving Steam and Bannerlord the appropriate permissions. That should be suspect during any "hang" where a process/executabel is being called.

Have you ever played Bannerlord multiplayer? If so, then Battleye installed itself during that play. If it's kicking in, now, when you hit play you will need to adjust AV settings.

If you're on the Beta, you've got a telemetry option enabled and your AV may be reacting to it. Check for that.

Also - When all else fails, check your OS system logs to see if anything stands out as being suspect. (Errors/warnings for Application/System and Security if your computer is responding to Bannerlord Telemetry/Battleye connection attempts.)
