📋 About This Mod

The Bannerlord Software Extender (BLSE) is a tool for Bannerlord mods that expands modding capabilities and adds additional functionality to the game.

Once installed, no additional steps are needed to launch Bannerlord with BLSE's added functionality.

You can start the game using Bannerlord. BLSE. Launcher.exe for the Vanilla Launcher or Bannerlord. BLSE. LauncherEx.exe for the Extended Launcher (BUTRLoader).

Mod Developers can use Bannerlord. BLSE. Standalone.exe to use the CLI to launch the game.

If you were a previous user of BUTRLoader, run Bannerlord. BLSE. LauncherEx.exe to get the same experience!

If you were searching for the following mods:

  • []BLSE. LoadingInterceptor[/]

    []BLSE. AssemblyResolver[/]

Installing this will resolve your inability to select the mod. The following mod id's are not real mods, but BLSE 'Features' that advanced mods may require to work. We are marking them as mods so the vanilla launcher would block selecting the mod. BLSE disables this block.

Xbox Warning!

  • []On Xbox, Harmony 2. 2 will slow down the game due to JIT optimization disabling[/]

    []On Xbox, Harmony 2. 3 beta and beyond will keep native speed[/]

    Epic Games Store Warning!

    You'll need to manually rename any of the BLSE .exe files to TaleWorlds. MountAndBlade. Launcher.exe. EGS is not able to use custom .exe files like Steam does.

    Another alternative would be to use either the Legendary Launcher or the Heroic Games Launcher, They will be able to support custom .exe files

    Installation (Manual)

    • []Download BLSE from the Files tab.[/]

      []Download and install Harmony from the Requirements section in the Description tab.[/]

      []Extract all files inside the top-level folder in the ZIP to your game folder (where Bannerlord. Launcher.exe is located).[/]

      []Run the game using Bannerlord. BLSE. Launcher.exe or Bannerlord. BLSE. LauncherEx.exe.[/]

      []To confirm it is working, open the console with the ALT+` (tilde) key and type blse.version. This will display the version of the installed BLSE build. [/]

      Installation with Vortex

      • []Click the "Vortex" button in the top-right of this page.[/]
