📋 About This Mod
This mod patches a crash caused by the wandering hero stuff introduced by Serve as Soldier.
This patch isn't very well tested and may cause unexpected behavior, but should really only prevent those wandering heroes from getting first aid experience, so it's relatively minor.
Still, untested, experimental, and use at your own risk. Although if you're like me and the campaign crashes now even with the original mod removed, you might not have a choice :)
That being said, if you encounter other crashes (related to Campaign Ticks, specifically, I don't use the mod very much and am not too concerned about battle crashes), let me know and I may take a look at them.
One more time for the people in the back: backup your saves before using this or any other mod.
Installation instructions:
Just un-zip into modules folder like you would any other mod. Unblock dll if necessary and then set it to load in the bannerlord launcher.
NOTE: Must be installed alongside Serve as Soldier.
An unofficial crash fix for the Serve as Soldier mod, addressing a crash caused by wandering hero first aid experience. It's experimental and untested, but may be the only option if your campaign crashes even after removing the original mod. Requires Serve as Soldier and manual installation.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community lifeline with 660 endorsements and 35,931 downloads — clearly a lot of players needed this
- Directly addresses a game-breaking crash that can persist even after removing the original mod
- Author is responsive to reports about campaign tick crashes, offering to investigate further
⚠️ Cons
- Explicitly untested and experimental — author warns it may cause unexpected behavior

- Requires manual DLL unblocking and load order setup, which can trip up less technical users
For Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord players who use Serve as Soldier and are hitting crashes during campaign ticks. If you've already removed the mod but the crash persists, this patch might be your only fix. Skip if you don't use Serve as Soldier or if you're not experiencing crashes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your save files before installing — the author explicitly warns about this, and it's a crash fix, so things could go sideways.
- After unzipping into the Modules folder, right-click the DLL, go to Properties, and click 'Unblock' if the option appears — Windows often blocks downloaded DLLs.
- In the Bannerlord launcher, make sure this mod is checked and placed after Serve as Soldier in the load order to ensure the patch applies correctly.
