Kernalbase.dll error

[Pauly0665]

Hi all

I've been getting the following error, from event viewer, when I've tried to launch Bannerlord. It crashes to desktop when it tries to load

I've replaced the .dll file, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but am still getting the crash to desktop when trying to launch the game. Not sure what to do now.

Some help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Try updating your video drivers first, if that doesn't help, run the repair tool on the various .net installations on your machine.

that particular .dll file can actually also be accessed by multiple applications at once.

Definitely go with HY's recommendation about your video drivers. For both your onboard video and possibly for your output (Monitor) drivers.

 

Another recommendation is try this after a fresh reboot. Go into your device manager (CTRL + ALT +DEL) and shut off anything NON essential regarding gaming, or video. See if maybe that helps. If for whatever reasons, you shut down a process that causes your video to wierd out or stop functioning, shut down your machine and remember NOT to do that one, again the next time ;)

[HeyYou]

Actually, going thru and 'cleaning up' on your machine, and shutting down processes you will never use, really isn't a bad idea. It isn't nearly so critical these days, what with how powerful the hardware has become, but, if you are running on a machine that kinda struggles to run the game, every little bit helps, and windows 10 (and likely 11) has a LOT of crap going on the background, that I know I will NEVER make use of. (phone app? xbox game bar? etc..... and they ALL start with windows.)

google gave me this link of this bannerlord forum from march 2022 where the problem is discussed. maybe it helps
