Happens for me if I remove my crpg_beta_config.ini. I have no idea what causes it and can't be arsed to compare the config files to find out either.

Solution?

1. Download http://koti.kapsi.fi/~elmokki/crpg/crpg_beta_config.ini (100% not a virus since it's a text file for the love of god!)
2. Put it to C:\Users\Username\Documents\Mount&Blade Warband replacing the old one (assuming you use Windows 7 or Vista or possibly Windows 8)
3. Hopefully launch the game!

Yeaaah. Interestingly removing the settings won't make it crash with the same error now, but I found the .ini that does so let's give it a look.

EDIT: Yeah, no idea. Try removing the config file and launching without one.

That happens when the configuration file doesn't have this line:
Code: [Select]
sCoreResources=crpg_beta_core_shaders,crpg_beta_core_textures,crpg_beta_core_materials,core_ui_meshes,core_pictures
Elmokki's uploaded file has it, so either you copied it in the wrong location or there's something very fucked up in your PC that prevents it from being loaded.

I have it in the mount and blade warband root folder, but for some reason its called crpg_beta_config_template.ini, the code is also in it but it just seems like its not loading the .ini. It only started doing it after my m&b crashed and completely froze my computer so I was forced to hard restart

Yes. Wrong place. Please read instructions next time ;(
