I just wanted to say that I have had zero bugs, crashes, or corrupted save games with TLD since I've done these 3 things: 1)switching to the enhanced version of the original mount and blade which it was intended for rather then using the warband patch (if you own the original mount and blade, you can download the 'Fall 2009 Enhanced Version' from moddb and your key should work 2)downloading the latest nighty patches (Which I just noticed seemed to be updated recently so this may also solve warband issues now, I don't know.) 3) making the Mount and Blade exe file large address aware (I read this solved other peoples problems particularly in battle crashing, and it certainly worked for me) I was constantly crashing unless I was using directx7, but now it runs amazingly with directx9.
