After uninstalling the mod your vanilla game doesnt work, right?
:) calm down mate its so simple. It happens to everyone.

Just go library > right click to game > click ''properties'' > go ''local files'' > and click ''verify integrity of game cache''

Thats so simple. It happens to anyone and anygame because when steam deletes a mod it may also delete a vanilla game file. So after uninstalling any mod you should always do that in case of missing file errors.

@indiehindie It never worked. I did what yu said and started the game. But maybe ts because I forgot one detail. I installed the Floris Expanded mod. Its not working on that one it's also not working on the vanilla. I'm triying to fix the floris mod. That's the important thing to me. Any tips or info. I think the info below could help

But, "how" are you running it as "Administrator?" In order to give it full permission to alter files as it needs to, you need to configure it the way I described, above. If you do something like just give it Admin permissions with a right-click execute command, or something similar, that only gives it a "run once in Admin mode when executing" and won't always let it alter files it needs to, especially when they are outside its directory, like the Warband save game files. (You see problems with the "run once" in Admin mode a lot when, for instance, people are using an exe to install a mod that creates new directories outside of its main tree. Often, it will get permission to do everything within its own tree, but nothing outside of that with this sort of run-once command. ) Just checking, by the way, since I know nothing about Win 10. :)

(PS - If you mean that you have Admin user-level permission for your user-name/account, that won't matter at all and will not transfer that permission level to any program you execute if it touches anything near the "Programs" folder, where Steam and the Warband exe is, or the system folders. Just clearing these points up since I have no idea what your level of knowledge is. Could be better than mine, for all I know. :) )

Is there an "rgl_log.txt" file located here: Program Files x86/Steam/Steam apps/common/Mount and Blade Warband ?

Look for it and see if it holds any clues. It may list the offending error. Note: If you don't have this file, it means that Warband didn't have any crashes or errors it thought were worth recording or it couldn't record them before it crashed.


Are you trying to save in an empty slot, occupied slot or both? If all your slots are full, move the save game files to a temporary directory and see if that works. (The save game files are located in the C:\Users\ (user name) \Documents\Mount&Blade Warband Savegames directory.)

You can also try deleting your rgl_config.txt file, located in your C:\Users\ (user name) \Documents\Mount&Blade Warband directory. The reason I suggest this is because that might make the game re-index the directories it uses or something along those lines, in case it "lost" something when you upgraded to Win 10. (I assume you upgraded on top of a previous install of Windows.)

My guess is that if you did an upgrade install from a previous versoin of Windows, something, somewhere, has either lost or had its permissions reconfigured or the game can't figure out where its save game folder is, or a combo of both.

You may be able to figure this out by taking a look at any Win10 documentation dealing with "taking over directories" and then configuring the directories, both Steam and your My Documents directory, to be "owned" by your user name. Or, at least, not to be locked out of any non-admin user level.

Your game's exe file probably doesn't have the permissions it needs to create/alter a saved-game file. I'm not sure how to correct this in Win 10, but in Win 7, you would navigate to the .exe file, right-click on it, choose "Properties", go to the Compatibility tab and check the checkbox under "Privilege Level" allowing "Run this program as Administrator." This will run the exe file in Administrator Mode, always, so that it can have access to everything it needs, like read/write access to the saved game directory. (Located in the My Documents\Mount&Blade Warband directory)

You can locate Warband's exe, here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\MountBlade Warband\mb_warband.exe

Ignore everything above. Your anti-virus system must have qaurantined the files.
