Bannerlord Update Fixes Hideout Loot and War Sails Quest Bugs

Restoring the Loot Loop

If you have been raiding hideouts recently and wondering why your inventory felt lighter than it should, you weren't imagining things. The latest patch specifically corrects an issue where loot wasn't being awarded properly upon completing hideout raids. For players in the early stages of a campaign, where selling bandit gear is often the difference between paying wages or facing desertion, this is a vital fix.

On the visual side, the developers have also squashed a rendering bug that caused certain assets to appear as solid blue textures. While not game-breaking, seeing a bright blue blob in the middle of a gritty medieval siege definitely kills the immersion, so it's good to see Calradia returning to its proper color palette.

What is fixed in the War Sails Expansion?

For captains navigating the War Sails expansion (v1.0.6), the focus is on unblocking progression. A specific logic error in the "Capture the Merchant Crusas" quest was preventing players from advancing the naval storyline. If you were stuck on this step, the script has been repaired, allowing you to continue your campaign.

Additionally, incorrect textures on certain naval weapons have been swapped out, ensuring your arsenal looks as dangerous as it actually is.

Stability and Silent Hotfixes

Beyond the gameplay tweaks, this update addresses a series of crashes related to resource loading and AI encounters in both the base game and the expansion. It's worth noting that this follows a "silent" hotfix deployed late last week, which already improved OpenGL performance and fixed an issue preventing War Sails from being played in offline mode.

The update should download automatically via your launcher. If you are running mods, remember that even minor version bumps like v1.3.10 can cause conflicts, so check your load order before rallying your troops.
