I had to unequip my horse in order to resume the decent map travel speeds on land. I bought a horse for myself, equipped it, and somehow my whole party was moving SLOWER than when we were all walking previously. In fact, the only annoying/wonky things I’ve encountered thus far were : I know one of the original bugs was that you couldn’t land your ships on the shore, only in ports, but I can say with complete certainty that’s fixed now, as I’ve used landing points dozens of times now to camp at night and to jump off and trade with or raid an area.
I also have had a longship for awhile now, and in fact last night I bought my second one and sailed around with two of them for a bit. I’ve experienced ZERO bugs in combat, the quests and tasks all seem to be working as they should, and I’ve had no problems with the gameplay or UI. I am pleased to report I’ve probably played around 20 hours of Viking Conquest Reforged at this point, and I’ve had exactly one CTD that was probably the fault of the AMD Catalyst Control Center and not the game itself. I have high hopes it’s very playable now. I know there was an update (something like 6 months ago, maybe?) that supposedly fixed a lot of it. I’d like to hear they are actually fixed. I have about 300 hours into the M&Bs, but 20 hours into Viking Conquest, even with the fun storyline, I was fed up with the issues.
