This game is still in BETA, dont buy it.

[beandersen]

For your information guys this game is still so full of game breaking bugs i would not recommend it. Just today ive had 4-5 breakdowns + ingame many quests dont work and just pops up error bugs. So if u plan to play this in single player campaign, wait until its cleared out of bugs with a few patches. Now its only doable as a multiplayer game

heads up!

[caddux]

Well... I just said goodbye to my M&B character. I'm ready to start my new life in M&B Warband.

I just hope you are wrong. But if you're right, I just hope they fix it ASAP!!!

[Oberst]

I had one weird bug where one of my lords gave me the exact same quest twice..unfortunately it locked up my game every time I asked for a new quest.

[Canadian WMD]

I haven't had a single game breaking bug since release. O.o
Buy it even if it's bugged, report the bugs and help it be not bugged.
Report your bugs and stop ♥♥♥♥♥ing about them!

[MyLittleBirdy]

I have found no bugs and have had no crashes. Just making sure people don't get a lopsided opinion here.

[Void(null)]

Most of the bugs I experienced were cured by deleting the game and downloading the new version clean, instead of using the Steam Update from the beta to release.

Also, its a really, really small development company. I heard most of the work on Mount & Blade was done by a Husband and Wife duo. So I can give them a little leeway as I know from my experiences with M&B that they will do right by the player base.

Its not like this is Sega or Ubisoft or Activision with bag fulls of money and hordes and slaved developers under their belt.

[Vaemer-Riit]

The only bugs I was having in the Beta where resolved when the game was released for me.

[Tericc]

umm there are bug's? I haven't seen any yet O_o

[Renko]

Tericc : No bug at all ?
- When I try to enter in a town with a disguise and I get caught, there is no guards that I can fight with.
- When I try to save someone from the jail, I kill every guard but nothing happen, I go in the jail and the NPC doesn't speak with me.

I think it's still a great game and a good buy, but I regret that I didn't wait maybe 2 or 3 months for few patchs.

[Tericc]

Not yet anyway. I thought I had your bug but I walked around a corrner trying to get to a door I was ambushed. But so far I have not.

[se05239]

Sounds like you haven't actually played the beta itself, the game is fully released now.

[Forrest GIMP]

Why can't you just report you're experiences without telling people what to, and what not to buy?

[KrazyKain]

singleplayer works fine for me... i'm so sick of every game ever being released having some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ saying OMG BETA DONT BUY.. EVERY FREAKING TIME.

[Hakello]

I've had a single crash and 2 bugged quests...during beta...

Game works like a charm since release.

I suggest going to the taleworlds forum, technical section and ask help there about your bugs, or post a better description of what happens so people can actually help instead of telling people the game is "full of bugs"

If I were you I'd try reinstalling the game, that should solve it if something went wrong with your update process.

[Renko]

And if it's a fresh installation from Steam on Avril 1st 2010 ? I try to re-install it ?

I don't think it's still a beta , but I think it's not 100 % complete.

@Terric : Did you get the game on Steam or somewhere else ?

[victis_honor]

Well... I just said goodbye to my M&B character. I'm ready to start my new life in M&B Warband.

I just hope you are wrong. But if you're right, I just hope they fix it ASAP!!!

same, i have played for 2 days now and 0 problems. sometimes there scrolls a error along the screen but it has no affect that i coud tell.

[knootewoot]

I play multiplayer mostly, but when playing the single player part I had the 1st quest bugged when I had steam version 0.86. I started a new game after it updated to 1.011 and I finished the first quest from the tavern dude. For the rest I just participated in several tournaments and killed a load of sea raider and hired 2 heroes to join me. So far no bugs for me. *crosses fingers*.

[Ranmaru]

Yeah, it does have some bugs:

Do you have any tasks for me?

Sir Soontodie: Yes, as it happens, blah blah blah

Sir Soontodie and his army of a few guys charges at you with laughable rage

*Options here*

Me: o.O why?

[chokke]

I am unable to turn in my first quest :( . Was kind of a sad thing for me. So I am waiting for a good mod to enjoy the singleplayer :) .
But the multiplayer is FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN :D !

[mexxico]

Did not you collected at least 5 men from around villages and go tavern and speak with merchant again?

[chokke]

Or well, not first quest, but the first chain. I have done whatever to the little gathering of bandits at their hideout and when I go to return it, I get the 'I've done it blablabla' option and another option and both of them say the exact same thing. And in my Q-log it says I shall return it to him.:cool:

So you killed bandits in their hideout and saved brother of merchant and when you return to tavern and spoke with merchant you could not get "quest finished"? Did I understand right?

[Ansonr]

Pretty much all the major bugs from the beta are gone. Its not perfect, but its been patched several times since release. Its not like the dev is just sitting on his ♥♥♥ counting money as he maniacally laughs at what fools we all are for buying his game.

By the way, sorry for these bugs. These are a bit hard to create. In only one prison scene, there is a bit more distance between prisoner and guest - there are iron grids between them so player cannot get closer - so speaking box cannot be displayed thats why you could not start talking with prisoner. We have never saw any bug reports about these two situations. Your two bugs are fixed in today's version.

About other possible bugs, we are reading all topics and fix any unnoticed one. We do not want to see any player disappointed. You can be sure game will be nearly 100% bug fixed in 1-2 weeks.

Also in morale issues we made some improvement to help players holding their morale high. Each leadership point now gives +10 to morale. And food variety effect is doubled.

Have a nice game,

[chokke]

'Learn where the hostages are held blablabla'
So I've been in their hideout and rescued the brother, and it says go to (merchant) to claim your reward and when I do it I get two options one to turn in the quest but his responce is exactly the same responce I get for saying I need more time or something

Thanks for this reply.

For the "desguise" bug , I've found that the guards spawn BEHIND the castle it's a spot that I can't reach except if I jump from the castle.

I suppose that's probably the same thing for the second bug , maybe somes guards just don't spawn in a delimited / accessibles spot.

I'm not dissapointed at all with this game, I will just wait few more patch before starting to play a lot ;)

This game is one of the rare game who definitively worth to buy.

mexxico, are you a dev?? can you guys get the proper green so we can better distinguish who to direct our anguish at??? ;)

[JK_DC]

I have seen many script errors from quests.

[Krogan]

Game works great to me, and OP you did only pay 26$ for a title that is far far better then any AAA game.

[nstutt]

I have been playing multiplayer most and its a blast especially the seiges, but I did delve into the single player yesterday and got a script error come up almost straight away for a quest. A lot of bugs oobviously in single player capaign but until its fixed play multiplayer and join me in the seiges - I am the one who usually gets killed ten times a battle - although I have been practicing in the arena lately so I feel more confident now - watch out.

During which quest you got these script errors?

Yes, ok I will deal with it.

[jsk68]

kinda harsh, they depend on us to report bugs so they can fix them.....

[Humble Wanderer]

Come on, all this sympathy for the devil is making me sick. It's been two years with basically no graphical upgrades, we shouldn't be paying $30 to unwittingly bug hunt broken quests for free. When I buy a broken game, I feel like the developer owes me $15 an hour to play it, because that's not entertainment, that's work.

[Vaemer-Riit]

The only bugs iv forund so far is that HDR randomly fails and then disables its self. Oh and maby that skeleton, not sure if that is suposed to be there.

[Bowd0n]

What a particularly malicious and ignorant post. Graphics don't make the game and high end graphics are utterly irrelevant in M+B's case anyway.

[oto niel]

Yes, ok I will deal with it.

ummm... about the first part, I don't remember saying that at all.


about the second, really, get the forum's green colors for devs (or customer representative) to differentiate yourself from the rest.

[Humble Wanderer]

What a particularly malicious and ignorant post. Graphics don't make the game and high end graphics are utterly irrelevant in M+B's case anyway.

If graphics don't make the game for you, then enjoy your content complete experience with Mount and Blade Warband. Oh, wait, you can't, because it's loaded with bugs and unfinished scripts. Have fun logging the next crash point.

[sticks223]

Well, i've been playing ok for a few days, just a couple minor glitches that were unimportant to anything, but i've reached a nearly gamebreaking bug. After I defeated a khergit lord, now every 10 seconds the notice screen pops up with nothing but "continue..." to click, and when you click it it goes away, until 10 seconds later atleast. This might not seem game breaking but after the 150th time of clicking "continue..." again and again you find it unbearable to even continue attempting to move about the game map.

[AxoZombie]

i played the trial (with the newest patch)

the german "version" is a totaly fail . . .

the most parts of the game are not translated . . . and thousand of "str not found" errors . . . totaly fail

not really playable on german

[Bowd0n]

How witty.

I applaud your critical analysis skills. *cough*

[alastairuk]

I got this game the day after released on steam and played it for something like 12 hours straight without anyproblems and only had the game crash once when I was useing steam overlay which may be more to do with overlay than the game as the web browser has been a little buggy in the new beta skin for steam

[Nizar]

There is a new patch everyday it seems, great mobilisation from Taleworlds and it shows they are not a cut and run company. Issues will get sorted.

[Renko]

I agree , this expension will be great in few more patch ! wait n see !

[kikinchaz]

Played a few hours and had no bugs or crashes. Game is extremely stable running in windowed - a feature which the devs genuinely listened to my requested feedback on the beta forums.

Seems like they're extremely dedicated to supporting the game too with my game already patching a good few times in only the past couple of days.

[beandersen]

I dont care if developers are dedicated, i am not gonna send in ONE error report, i have have payed money for this product, and its not working , simple as that. I am NOT a beta tester but a customer and buyer!

Im ♥♥♥♥ tired of all the bugs and errors in this unfinished product. Yes its fine for a few hours, but the more you play it the more bugs appear. For example script bugs that pop up and seems not doing anything, unfinished quests with test texts and development texts, and now last i have popups every 2 mins saying nothing and just click Continue...

The game is in BETA stage, its good and all that some here dont care about that since they are so dedicated to the game, but that doesnt change the face that the game is an unfinished product FULL OF BUGS.

Again to everyone out there, wait 2-3 months, then maybe they have cleaned out this bugs, until then dont buy it, you'll be disappointed.

such rage.

[beandersen]

Well i have a popup every minute on open map with no text and it just says Continue... That on a game that ive played 30 hours, every hour getting more bugs. It sucks and i dont want anyone else to have the same experience cause it stinks. If you like buggy games sure play, im gonna do my best let potential buys that this game is super buggy, to save them the trouble.

[Bowd0n]

Well if you don't like it bugger off, stop whining in the forums and quit alienating the fan base.

[beandersen]

Bugger off ? Lol! Do you get offended that i call this BETA version for what it is ? IM SORRY MAN, but this is a beta version, it doesnt make it anything else just cause you are a dedicted fan and dont mind sending in those reports :D

[Bowd0n]

I'm neither a dedicated fan nor particularly offended. I'm just saving the universe the trouble of having to put up with your drivel, frankly. It beats me why, if you hate this game so much you remain playing 'My First Troll' in the forums. Hope you're having fun.

[beandersen]

I like the game, its just sad its too buggy!

Wtf? Do you work for TaleWorlds or something? This is obviously a flawed product and a lot of people are angry about it. Don't get mad at us because we're warning other players away from buying a really bad game.

[KON_Air]

Then go boycott it and triple the sales.

[beandersen]

Then go boycott it and triple the sales.

??? im not boycotting im simply giving a heads up to people planning to buy it to wait a month or two, so they dont buy an unifnished products or BETA. Better come back in some months then buy, wish i had so i didnt spend all these hours trying to play an unfinished game that gets more and more bugs. Now i cant play it anymore though, the number of bugs kept increasing in the game and now its unplayable with a map popup every 1-2 mins.

[Original182]

Yes it's true that a game shouldn't be released with so many bugs.

I also like Mount&Blade, and I like the new economy and political things they put in Warband. But a proper game release shouldn't contain so many game breaking bugs. There's only so much gamers can tolerate. It doesn't make the company look good.

I'm aware that they are an indie company, but even other indie titles don't have that many bugs during release. It does feel like the game is still in BETA stage.

Edit: I now have to resort to posting on the Steam forums because the forums on their main website isn't working for me. I can't even post the bugs that I find. They really need to be more professional if they want to be taken seriously as a game developer.

Then quit crying and don't play the game?

I paid for the preorder and am more then happy with the game so-far, only issue I have is not enough people in multiplayer. This is an indie game so you can't come into it expecting the level of polish found in major titles considering how ambitious the game is. By the way I played the beta for at least 20 hours and the final product for another 15 or so and nothing has went wrong...

[beandersen]

I dont cry im saying this game is full of bugs. Play single player and you will see it yourself. Im pretty sure if you played it awhile and then the game gets unplayable after 10-15 hours you would not be so happy as well

I would be okei with this if the game was announced as BETA but as its sold as a finished products , then NO. People need to know that the game is STILL in BETA

Game breaking bugs always suck, no argument there.
Did you report it on their forum?? or in some bug report ??
I havent encountered the bug you describe, all I have had so far was one red script error, but I would hate to run into your wall, so if you havent bugged it please do :)

[Uuugggg]

The game just isn't completed either. They set a release date and didn't make it. I imagine they didn't have any official game testing... or particularly effective code practices. Simple things that should be easily caught before any public release, even a beta. Here a list of obviously unfinished things off the top of my head from a few days playing:

*Various bandit parties tooltips says they are patrolling {!the forests}
*A certain dialogue had {man/warrior) in it, an obvious typo in {}/() gender-aware syntax.
*I somehow ended up trying to save that merchant's brother twice.
The second time the brother didn't show up, and now I can't continue that quest line.
*After being caught sneaking into a city, my companions were all in the dungeon when I got out. I bribed the jailer, and my dudes acted as if they were in a tavern and I could get them out free. Thing is, they're still there whenever I return. I talk to them now, and they say "rarrr We are going to fight you!" to which I reply "I'm not afraid of you!" then the dialogue ends and nothing happens.
*The one that prompted this post: When I accepted the quest to save a lord's son, I asked for advice about paying the ransom. The desperate father replied: "[Ransom option not yet implemented]".

So, to the developers! I suggest a scrum-based project plan, so that you don't end up with loads of obviously unfinished things!

BUT DAMN THIS GAME IS FUN ^_^

[brideson]

Well seeing as this is a husband and wife team.... It is reliatvly bug free. Also may I not that Call of Duty: Modern warfare 2 launched with alot more bugs, Loads of hacks and it was made on millions of dollars and by hundreds of people. Also with all games... how the hell can thew fix a bug if you do not report it?

[chaintm]

Most of if not all errors I have ran into are script related (quest/faction standing numbers etc). Being a coder myself, it seems to me the simple bug smashing was over-looked to work on the new content which now that I have reached it seems to work fine, it's old info not updated. Thou I do have to note there are values missing to call objects which I find odd. Unless he (the dev) translated to a new db to rebuild the system to work with the new. Eh, I would report all the script issues I have ran into, but on the offical forums they are all being done.

Most if not all my issues are with quests not finishing out as scripted or a value missing. The base mechanics/graphics etc are great. EH I give the guy a few months he will crush them all, he did with his first release and I am sure he will do with the second. Not cool thou that so many people feel doom and gloom on this title. There are bugs, but not to the extent that is being excellerated here to make someones point to be more big then it is.

IMO they ♥♥♥♥ed up by making the SP beta test not open as the MP was, most of the stuff could've been reported prior to official release.

Who knows what happened financially anyway, the MP test lasted months and the SP last what? two weeks??

You are right though, the core is there, they just need a few weeks (hopefully) to iron the major stuff, and each and every person that paid in full for the game has every right, if not duty, to hammer their heads until they straighten it up.

[JK_DC]

I have even more bugs the further in I go. I was able to offer a gift to someone I wasn't supposed to. It then said left click to continue and it did nothing so I had to shut it down. Some party members death and injuries don't list who they are. It will indicate for example 3 killed/1 wounded for each group without listing them. After you lose a siege the initial list of wounded/killed in game is way off but is okay on the final battle summary. I was supposed to visit a spy and when the factions declared peace the quest wasn't cancelled. When I went there anyway nobody was walking around the courtyard. When I sent my companions to use their connections for information all but one weren't able to report anything.

The single player is in early beta right now. At least half of the quests have script errors.

[beandersen]

When will these bugs be fixed ?????
