• Mount & Blade: Bannerlord V1.3.13 or higher
• Harmony V2.4 or higher
• EoE 1700 should be V1.3.13 or higher

NOTE:

• There are still several issues with Bannerlord vanilla 1.3, not related to EoE, in particular issues related to shader cache and not being able to launch the game. Most issues require a fix from Taleworlds.
• For workarounds, refer to the troubleshooting notes below.
• Many other mods are not yet compatible with 1.3, and many that have been updated are still experiencing issues. Stick to Rex’s Modlist[discord.com] to ensure compatibility.

1. Subscribe to EoE 1700 v1.3.13 or higher[/li]
2. Make sure you have Mount & Blade: Bannerlord V1.3.13 or higher
3. Make sure you have Harmony V2.4 or higher
4. Unblock dll’s if necessary. These are found at Europe1700binWin64_Shipping_Client. Right click on the file >Properties> tick ‘Unblock’
5. Load Mods in this order:

• First – Harmony
• Then – TW Mods (Native, Sandbox, etc)
• Then – Any other Mods
• Then – Europe 1700

Make sure you have correct versions of required mods to run EoE 1700

• Mount & Blade: Bannerlord V1.3.13 or higher
• Harmony V2.4 or higher
• EoE 1700 should be V1.3.13 or higher

DO NOT use any other mods at first. Try running the game with just Harmony and EoE 1700, so you know it is working.

1. Check your RGL log via file C:ProgramDataMount and Blade II Bannerlordlogsrgl_log_xxx.txt
2. IF the last line in that file says something like: "rgl_post_warning_line: Shader cache version of the external module (EoE1700) is invalid" , then the issue is related to the shader cache. THIS IS A KNOWN VANILLA BUG.
3. To troubleshoot, simply retry starting the mod at least 5-6x until it works.

Follow the steps below:

1. Delete the entire folder C:ProgramDataMount and Blade II BannerlordShaders
2. Delete the “sack” file (if there is one) at C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonMount & Blade II BannerlordShadersD3D11
3. Delete the “sack” file from C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonMount & Blade II BannerlordShadersD3D11 for any mod that’s relevant

NOTE: Deleting shader files will require the shaders to be rebuilt as the game loads. This may cause:

• further crashes at startup – Just retry startup until game loads with no issue
• in-game assets to be slow to load – In main menu, go to ‘Settings’ and change graphic settings to LOW, to allow you to get to character creation page. Once character creation is completed and the map loads, you can update your graphic settings back to what it was.
