I prefer the Grand Mace when the enemy team is knight heavy because of its overhead headshot + stab combo, and the Longsword when there are more vanguards.

They are in that thread.

I’m not sure if this can happen on any map but I was playing Citadel and it was the third part of the map where the slaves need to be freed. I ran out of spawn and I “fell”. I think I tried to stab an enemy knight as I went off the ramp and my character’s arms started flaining. This lasted maybe 3 seconds until the knight killed me, I could not move or swing my weapon.

Blocking seems the same for me, I don’t notice any of these problems you guys are talking about. The patch did change fov back to default so maybe that is what is making it hard for you guys to block. The morning star also has more speed so that may be why its a bit different to block aswell but other then that blocking seems the same.

YES YES YES

It will launch chivalry and automatically join the server hopefully you will at least be able to play through this. Other then that I have no idea other then you may want to list your computer’s specs.

I assume you clicked refresh after doing those changes?

That should launch the game for you and connect you to a server.

Try going into filter settings for the servers and if its on game speed 90% change it too 100%. If it is already at 100% change it to something else then back to 100%. This had happened to me before and hopefully that will fix your problem.

I had that happen to me before. The person that got the kill said it was because I was team switched after he hit me, so he got the kill and that symbol appeared.

Sometimes there is a glitch where the hotkeys to teamchat or all chat do not work so, “say” and either “sayteam” or “teamsay” will allow you to type to all or your teammates.
