(Game crashes frequently after playing 1-2 years). M&B patch note: Personally (JohnT), I recommend not upgrading to 1.153 as 1.153 resulted in CTD issues while game was perfectly stable on 1.143 on the same system earlier.
Finally you will need to copy all mod files into this directory -> 'YOUR_M&B_Warband_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY\Modules\'.Install M&B Warband patch (update) v.1.143 so that your M&B Warband is as good as possible.Install M&B Warband (the vanilla game - original released version or updated v.1.1 version).
