keeps crashing in seige battles

[Makaveli]

this game is brilliant how ever the constant crashing in seige battles is iritating . i have a 11 g gtx 1080 ti graphics card . run 32g ddr4 ram. enough specs to blow this game out of the water. so why the crashes is the game engine not good?

1) Follow the dev configuration recomendations here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/48700/discussions/6/1290691937711978191/

2) One person with this problem a reddit recently fixed it by deleting his config files, so that the game regenerated them. He thought the problem had somethign to do with a recent driver update.

thanks ill give it a try

[Makaveli]

unfortunately no fix >.<

[Hooded Horse]

One thing to be aware of is the longer Warband is running, the more prone it is to crashing. If you save, exit Warband, then restart and load right before a siege battle, it will be less likely to crash. Combined with dropping various graphics settings that might solve the problem. Viking Conquest is more demanding than normal Warband, but you can try to make up for that by reducing settings.

yea i always find it plays up a few hours after playing

Could you post your rgl_log.txt after crashing? Thank you.

No, this is your rgl_config.txt. Rgl_log is in your main warband folder. However, We have detected that generally freeze or crashing problems are because of configuration. You can try this:

Open your rgl_config.txt (you can find this in your documents\warband folder)

texture_detail = 70
render_buffer_size = 15
max_framerate = 120

Ok, all seems ok. Did you try the option I wrote above? If you are using W10 you could need to update your drivers.

Truly apologize for the necroposting. but still having this issue and above solution did not help. My computer can run Halo Infinite and modded Fallout 4 yet crashes on MB:Warband sieges...

please please advise, thank you.

Hi wolfdwarf,

Have you tried to reduce the number of troops from options?
