The Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord 1.0.4 patch is here, bringing some pretty important changes to the new RPG. The patch does put around 200 new items into the game. Most of these are being brought back from the previous games. The developers have also overhauled item crafting.
The Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord 1.0.4 patch focuses on bug fixes for the most part, being that it’s a minor update. The majority of the changes center around fixing crashes and performance problems within singleplayer games, but the developers have also worked in other changes. Crashes in multiplayer are also on the docket.
Taleworlds also put in some backend code optimizations that introduced more stability. Players should experience more stable load and saves of game data, with crashes and freezes being less common.
