Updates have arrived for both Mount and Blade II Bannerlord and the War Sails expansion, introducing targeted fixes and incremental improvements across land and naval gameplay. War Sails version 1.0.5 focuses on refining the naval storyline, correcting issues affecting troop behavior, AI routines, and quest progression. Bannerlord version 1.3.9 expands stability efforts by enabling launcher crash dump submissions and addressing several persistent gameplay and narrative bugs.
