Q1: The mod crashes on initial start or halfway through the loading screen. What do I do?
A1: Make sure that:
- you are running the latest version of MB:Warband

- the options "Load textures on demand" is ticked in the launcher options; Configure → Video options → Load textures on demand: ticked

If none of the above solves the problem, please report it with it's error message in the community forums.

Q17: Why can't I start a new game?

Q22: I am having issues with frequent crashes. What can I do?
A22:
- Do not enable cheat mode.
- Quit Warband and then reload Warband and your saved game. This helps to reset the memory leak issue.
- Do not run any unnecessary background programs while playing mod.
- Do not use any game editors such as Morgh's M&B Editor.
- Do not run any unnecessary background programs while playing the mod.
- Upgrading your computer, especially graphics card, can help. Although even with a fully optimized computer there are inherent issues with bottle necking and limitations of the outdated, fickle Warband engine.
- Decrease the graphical specs you are running game at, especially decreasing texture details, lowering the shadow quality shader, and turning down anti-aliasing can help.
- Make sure you are running the latest version of MB:Warband.
- Make sure your copy of the game is legitimate and is bought through Steam, GoG, TaleWorlds etc.
- The options "Load textures on demand" is ticked in the launcher options; Configure → Video options → Load textures on demand: ticked
- Edit mode is disabled in the launcher options; Configure → Advanced → Enable Edit Mode: unticked.
