Patch Notes - WS v1.0.5 / BL v1.3.9

Greetings Warriors of Calradia!

After a short breather, another round of improvements is here!
Continuing with refinements to the naval storyline, added the ability to receive crash dumps for launcher-related issues, and further polishing with bug and crash fixes.

Please note that there may be a delay between the download of the base game and the download of War Sails. If you launch the game prior to both of them being updated, you will crash. If you face this issue, please verify your game files.

Please also note that Console hotfixes arrive with a delay, as their release processes take a bit more time. Releasing to PC without waiting on this process allows us to gather data and feedback more quickly - benefiting all platforms.

War Sails v1.0.5

The following changes are specific to the War Sails expansion and are not part of the base game.

Changes

• Updated the “Visit” and “Talk” tooltips to display “Take a walk around the port and find Gunnar to talk to him.” instead of “This feature is disabled.” when the “Speak to Gunnar and Sister” quest is active.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused AI behavior issues during the escape phase of the final storyline quest.
• Fixed a bug that caused troops in the player’s party to lose their experience when entering and exiting the naval storyline.
• Fixed a bug that prevented troops from leaving the oars to use the hooks.
• Fixed a bug that caused ship debris to spawn during the Naval Order of Battle phase.

Crashes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a save file created immediately after concluding the “Free the Sea Hounds’ Captives” quest mission.
• Fixed a crash that occurred during land and naval battles related to the physics simulation.

Bannerlord v1.3.9

The following changes are part of the base game and apply to the War Sails expansion as well.

Changes

• Players will now be able to send crash dumps for launcher-related crashes. This should help resolve launch issues sooner.

Fixes

• We included a set of bug fixes that are meant to return your family to you (if you lost them after completing the naval storyline) and prevent them from disappearing in the first place.
  • As family members can be in a number of different states, your experience may vary a bit:
    • Family members like the younger brother and sister are disabled as long as their relevant quests are incomplete. This was already the case and wasn't changed.
    • If your sister was spawned before becoming an adult, this version should despawn her when you load your savegame. She should spawn again upon becoming an adult.
    • If you rescued your younger sister and she is an adult but she wasn't added to your clan, this version should add her to your clan and place her in a fugitive state when you load your savegame.
    • If the adult sister disappeared in prior versions, she should enter fugitive state upon loading the save in 1.3.9 (and newer). If it happened after you made her a governor, she should be immediately spawned and returned to that position.
  • Should another family member be missing (like the younger brother), the same rules apply.
  • Please note that "fugitive state" has a 30% chance to spawn the character daily. So if this applies to your case, the sibling/s should spawn after 3-4 days.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Transfer Troops action not to work correctly.

Crashes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when the leader of a siege leaves.
