Application has faced an error when entering villages and hideouts

[Eskiij]

Like header suggests, I get the "application has faced an error and forced to close" error whenever I enter a village or hideout




I have no issues with battles, towns or arenas and SOME of the hideouts I can enter

But I cannot enter villages, or non-quest hideouts, they all crash the game

Single player game works perfectly, all villages (that i tried) worked in SP but not BO


I have so far:
Verified files
Deleted all files and reinstalled
Updated GPU
Repaired V++
Deleted watchdog and reinstalled
Removed all mods (not that i had any other than BO)
Opened in admin mode
DISM and System Checker

None of this has worked

Hello, did you try to lowr your graphic settings?

Thanks for the reply!

Yes I did but to no avail

I have however found a solution that seems to be working!

I forced the game to open with DX11 instead of DX12 by changing the .ini file

Here are the steps, incase it helps anyone else!


Step 1 — Locate the config file
Path:
Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs\engine_config.txt

Step 2 — Open the file
Right-click engine_config.txt → Open with Notepad (or any text editor)

Step 3 — Find / add the DX12 line
Look for:
use_dx12 = 1

If it exists, change it to:
use_dx12 = 0

If it doesn’t exist, add this line anywhere in the file:
use_dx12 = 0

Step 4 — Save and close
Save the file
Close Notepad

Step 5 — Launch Bannerlord Online
Right-click → Run as administrator
