A lot of game crashes were eliminated in this last round of fixes, which is always nice to see. That particular fix with ranged troops no longer deciding to randomly make themselves vulnerable while drawing melee weapons will make a nice change in close battles as well, I imagine.

You should be aware that more changes were included in the Initial beta changelog available on the steam forums link here, simply scroll down a bit. They were cut from this log as they made the entire section about eight times longer.

Is there anything else to be aware of?

That’s really about it for this set of Bannerlord changes, not much else to say on this one.
