How to stop Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord from crashing

Table of Contents

Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord can crash at any time, but you can prevent it by following certain steps. Generally, while playing the game, try not to overload your PC with too many things to do simultaneously.

Remember that the game is still in its early access stage, so playing the beta versions rather than the main and most updated version has its own issues.

The most common causes of crashes are:

  • After being defeated, fast-forwarding through a battle.
  • During battle, issuing too many commands too quickly.
  • During a battle, the initial clash of armies.
  • Random moments while playing the game.

The best ways to keep Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord from crashing are:

  • When fast-forwarding through a battle after defeat, point the camera upward and move closer to the sky.
    • The game runs better when not much is happening in front of the player's screen.
    • When the game tries to render everything happening in front of the player, it has more issues.
  • The majority of the time, players have just started the battle when they issue quick commands.
    • Give a moment after issuing a command to begin another. This allows the AI to run its programming before going to the next command.
  • In the settings, reduce the size of army in battle or the graphics.
    • The game is not graphically demanding, but there are a lot of things happening at once.
    • Each NPC consumes memory.
    • Despite the lower graphics, the game still looks decent.

It's best to keep in mind that in early access, games won't be as reliable as they will be in the full release. Anytime you think you're doing something that's too much for your computer, try to lighten the load.
