PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW 1.150 PATCH? READ HERE.

[cmp]

• download and install the non-Steam 1.143 client from here
• if you are asked to activate the game, use your Steam CD key
  
  • to retrieve your CD key, open your Steam Library, right click on Mount&Blade: Warband and click on View game CD key
  • if your CD key is 5x5 and doesn't fit, click here to obtain a valid CD key don't do this or you're fucked. If you did this and you're fucked, start Warband from steam once to unfuck it.
• (optional) place the cRPG launcher in your newly installed Warband directory
• run the launcher and play

... so no update soon?

[cmp]

Probably not. It takes time to port WSE, and there could be a hotfix coming (not sure yet, though), so I can't even start.

UPDATE/FEEDBACK: Yes the converter does work i can successfully activate my non-steam version thanks cmp! and thanks Nord_Dom for linking this thread!

Here we go with the uneducated blame game.
No, it's not Steam's fault. Steam doesn't make the updates, Taleworlds does. The update is to facilitate the Napoleonic DLC tomorrow, I assume.
Modding has it's ups and downs, and the frailty of the balance becomes apparent when something like this happens.
Taleworlds is in no way obligated to tell the community when a patch is to come.

(Breakdown)
Taleworlds released a patch for Warband and because of how WarbandScriptEnhancer works, it fucked every mod that uses it up. (I know Vikingr uses WSE, so I am taking a guess that they are pretty screwed aswell.)

Well, shit, I thought I was "quick" when I disabled auto-updating this morning but apparently the patch launched last night.  Guess I get to have two M&B:W installs for a while.

EDIT: Using the 'date modified' tab I found that the only core game files updated were mb_warband.exe and fmodex.dll.  If you download the installer linked above and extract these two files rather than going through the whole installation process you can save some time/space.  Backup the 150 files in case you want/need the 150 update again; easier than verifying your game cache anyway.

It works. =)

[Savior_of_Death]

What exactly is the problem? I have the steam version of Warband that just updated, and CRPG works fine

[Opium.dk]

Ehm, so if my cdkey is 5x5, im fucked?

[Argatil]

Try and if it don't work , yes , you are fucked

If you're lucky it won't even ask you for the serial and recognize it's activated.

Also, deleted posts by people explaining how to play with 1.150. I wrote the post about reverting to 1.143 for a reason, many people are having problems with the newer patch. I don't really care whether it works for you or not, just avoid giving alternative "working" solutions.
