GAME CRASHES ON STARTUP! REWARD IF HELPED!

[El Senior Mr Krabby]

I have around 300 hours on mount and blade warband. Recenently, unexpentantley the game crashes on startup. I click play and nothing happens, I dont even get to see the menu. I have tried all sorts of things, I have reinstalled it 3 times verified the game cache heaps and deleted rgl config. When I deleted rgl config it never came back when I reinstalled the game. If someone can help me with this it would be much appreciated and if I can play my game again I will reward you handsomly. Please help meh

I have a few suggestions:

1. Make a backup of Mount and Blade then delete EVERY single file on for Mount and Blade Warband then reinstall again.

2. You could try downloading and installing the latest version of DirectX from the Microsoft website, I know that has worked for some people.

3. Go to rgl_config.txt and rename it to rgl_config_bad.txt, the game should run then, if it does run go to http://bugs.taleworlds.com/default.aspx?url=/edit_bug.aspx&qs=id%3d3720 and upload the file rgl_config_bad.txt so TaleWorlds can see what's wrong and hopefully fix it in another patch.

If none of these work I would recommend completly reinstalling your video drivers that may work, or you can look at the online forums and look for solutions there also you could message TaleWorlds with your problem and they should get back to you.

Hmm I renamed rgl_config.txt to rgl_config_bad.txt but when I checked the folder there is no rgl_config just the rgl_config_bad. I deleted the folder in my documents before but they wouldnt re download. Is that to do with it?

[JonnyBoi]

I would think that might have something to do with it, so they didn't download when you verified the game?

[Belmont]

added you , might have some tips for you :p

[badkiller14]

delete the whole game and then make sure there is nothing in the games contents then reinstall it ?

[El Senior Mr Krabby]

Yeah Jonathan. Also I checked my task manager and when I launch the game mount and blade comes up for about half a second, while steam says it is launching the game.

Delete or backup M&B folders from "Documents". Crash may cause when load those files.

1. May your system specifications be given?

2. Have you installed any mods?

Rgl_config is created when the game launches. The reason rgl_config isn't being created is because the game isn't launching.

I had about 7 modules, they all worked and I was using them for ages, I hadn't installed any in a long while.

I don't play the game for months and today i wanted to play it again, installed it and same thing happend to me :(

I have read your comments and deleted tweakmb (only mod for mb) and every folder of the game from documents (but it was still installed on steam) then downloaded and installed demo version from taleworlds.

I played it for a minute, created a character and uninstalled it (but kept the save files i don't know what happens if i didn't). Launched steam and launched the game and its working :D

Good luck for you guys, i hope it works :)

1. The save file may be corrupted. Navigate to Root Directory\Users\User Profile\My Documents\Mount&Blade Warband Savegames\Native. Move all files to a folder on your desktop. The "Native" folder should be empty. Attempt to launch the game.

Note: I'm not sure how savegames work with mods. If there are other folders alongside "Native," make sure all of their files are moved to desktop as well. All folders in the "Mount&Blade Warband Savegames" directory should be empty.

2. Verify that Mount & Blade: Warband is allowed through firewall. Navigate to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Firewall -> Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall. Make sure that "Mount & Blade: Warband," or "mb_warband.exe," is allowed.

3. Try uninstalling all mods. When the game is uninstalled, mod files may remain. Uninstall the game. Delete any remaining files from the game's directory or simply delete the whole folder. In addition, before reinstalling the game. Navigate to Root Directory\Users\User Profile\AppData\Roaming. Delete the folder, "Mount&Blade Warband."

I notice that you are now playing Mount & Blade: Warband. Would you share your solution to the problem of the game not starting up?
