Fable 2 Development : Fable II Patch Status Update

Fable II Patch Status Update

Published Wednesday, December 03, 2008 5:17 PM by Sam

Patch time is coming, to town! Ok I admit, that was pretty bad... We haven't forgotten about the patch that was promised a while ago, the team sends word that the update is coming along nicely. These are some of the fixed issues that come up the most on our forums or email but by no means is it a complete one. The update is currently being tested and finalized, so for those (few) of you having trouble, we're listening to you.

- The Ritual/Monk’s Quest – Fixed the issue with the Abbott becoming unresponsive if you leave Oakfield before he finishes talking. This will fix the problem if you’ve already hit it, too.

- Rescuing Charlie/Rescue My Baby – after rescuing Charlie, you can now able to interact with objects

- Guild Cave chest – resolves any issues with previously inability to retrieve items unlocked from Limited Collector’s Edition, website or Chicken Kickin’ game. If you’ve already hit this bug you should now get your items.

- The Spire (Pt2) – no more issues with ship captain being unresponsive

- The Hero of Skill (Pirate King) – you’ll no longer get stuck during Hero of Skill quest (Bloodstone)

- T.O.B.Y./Trouble In Bloodstone – you’ll no longer get stuck during T.O.B.Y. quests (Bloodstone)

- Your child - will no longer be chosen as an assassination target

- Furniture Shop in Albion (Bowerstone) will now always have something for sale

- Additional unspecified fixes

In other news here are again 20 codes for the Pub Games!

All codes have been used

	mwcarlson said: Excellent Sam. That furniture bug in Bowerstone was a touch annoying. I wanted to let you all at Lionhead know that I love the game and appreciate all you are doing to iron out the wrinkles. Oh, and I am worked into a frenzy over Knothole. Are there any other ideas in the wings for DLC? December 3, 2008 12:39 PM

	TCullen said: ...I went to make a sandwich, 10 minutes later I come back and there are new codes and they are all gone... December 3, 2008 1:05 PM
	TCullen said: Are the problems with sales/shortages disappearing after the game is beaten/fairfax is purchased and the problems with wives disappearing from certain houses going to be fixed? I'm hoping that they are included under the category of "Additional unspecified fixes" December 3, 2008 1:08 PM
	isaacsol said: I am happy that I am finally the first person to get a code in a blog entries, and I won a tournament (admittedly just a level 1), but this has made me happy. Though many people have slated Fable II, I think it is great, and I need to get a 360 HD for mine as it is the arcade, and I have 3MB of space XD. December 3, 2008 1:16 PM

	ZTALX said: You're a horribly cruel man, Sam. Taunting me with that which I shall never have. Even though I remain codeless (But boy, it sure would be nice to have one especially with Christmas on the way.. WINK WINK, HINT HINT), it's still nice to see the patch is coming along eventually.

	orange_blue_22 said: I thought that the brightwood Freezing was the most common game ending glitch (and it is not evan mentioned. Any one on my friends list stoped playing (sold) this game because of this issue. Hopefully it is a "Additional unspecified fixes" December 3, 2008 2:58 PM
	EvilToad said: Damn always too late...... Can I hav a code plssss ^^. Im from austria and its damn difficult for me to be on the right place at the right time... news for the people waiting for the patch....hopefully the time glitch gets fixed.....cant get the right time to sacrifice some monks ^^ December 3, 2008 3:13 PM
	BlueHelmet667 said: thanks for the info & codes. keep 'em coming ... December 3, 2008 3:17 PM
	jporter313 said: I'd also like to know about the westcliff freezing glitch as this is by far the biggest thing plaguing me. Whether that glitch is fixed with this patch or not will probably determine whether I go around and rate this game a 1 or a 4.5 out of 5 at every merchant and game site I can, as well as whether I buy any future Lionhead games. December 3, 2008 3:18 PM
	mudron said: How DARE you post again without revealing the whereabouts of the much-needed pa.... Oh, wait. Damn you. I have nothing to complain about now. December 3, 2008 3:20 PM
	KalEl86 said: So, each time I check I find that more Pub's Games Codes have been given out, and like the other insane amount of people on this post and previous ones, have still yet to pick one up. Do you think you could just email one to me Sam? Or better yet, as others have suggested, just post an insane amount of them next time. Thanks in advance. December 3, 2008 3:21 PM
	Psyver said: Sweet! Pass along my thanks to the staff if possible. I really appreciate all the fixes. Thank you, thank you!! December 3, 2008 3:21 PM

	BT-Nexus said: Damn it, I'm really never going to get one of these codes either, lol. December 3, 2008 3:44 PM
	Thierry4000 said: Thanks for (finally) giving some feedback about the patch status. I haven't read anything about frozen saves, if it will be prevented and if it will be able to load the frozen saves again. I have read a lot of reactions on the forum about this problem. I must say that playing from the xbox hdd has helped with much of the freesing issues, but i'm still afraid it will happen again. Maybe a way to make multiple saves would also help. luck with the testing and finishing, and i hope my problem is also part of your solution. December 3, 2008 4:02 PM
	Journey2564 said: this sucks, 4 posts with codes since monday and i still miss out i guess if i have to skip a couple classes at school ill finally get one December 3, 2008 4:03 PM
	ZabiGG said: Great news, thanks! But... Is it a matter of days, weeks or months until it comes out, this much-awaited patch? December 3, 2008 4:19 PM
	warloque7 said: I would really like to know if the lock-up bug from the launch day patch has been addressed!?!?! Seems to be linked to newer hardware. Anyhow, I haven't been able to play for more than two minutes while connected to LIVE before the entire system locks up and must be restarted!!! When not connected to LIVE I can play for about an hour before it locks up the system. Well, has this issue been addressed yet?!?!?! I've patiently waited for more than a month now for this fix. If it doesn't get patched soon I think Lionhead owes a lot of people a refund. December 3, 2008 4:24 PM
	Jonnyboy1129 said: YES thanks sam... Im happy that I can finally use one of my characters again! Hopefully you guys fixed the black screen of death.. Im having some trouble getting to westclif... it freezes or does the black screen of death which sucks... but this is great!!! December 3, 2008 4:31 PM
	saintmarc said: what about the crucible 2x perfect bug. i have been stuck with this for weeks now and cannot move or nothing. add this one to the list. December 3, 2008 4:41 PM
	CrispJosizzle said: lame...I caught this post like 2 minutes after it was put up, tried a couple of the codes, then I lost my internet connection!! any chance of getting a code by email? I pre-ordered the game from Blockbuster who apparently don't give the Pub Games codes, but I wasn't bothered about it as I didn't have Live at the time. But now I do...and I would love a code by email if at all possible. I've missed out on so many of these posts. December 3, 2008 5:08 PM
	panzerlemon said: just to let you know the issue with bowerstone furniture shop can also occur in bloodstone if the economy gets to five stars. so basically if you pimp out all the houses in bloodstone with 5 star furniture you can no longer buy any furniture without killing people to lower the economy December 3, 2008 5:09 PM
	JakeJenova said: A pretty patch there. Gah i suck at life, yet again i missed out on more codes for Pub. Hopefully I can get one by friday aka my birthday and i'd be a happy camper. Chance of sending me one through an email my man :] December 3, 2008 5:18 PM

	JF7220 said: Thank you Sam. Honestly I appreciate that you take the time to write to us......it's not all gaming companies that actually are active in they're forum. I really do like the openess that you guys give to you're beloved gamers/Fablers lol. Anywho I've hadn't had any problems with the game yet but it is to know that you guys are working on a patch to fix peoples problem. at least you show that you care about the game that you put on the market! Thank you again December 3, 2008 5:47 PM

	ArrancarVaizard said: Yay fixes. I don't have the game yet, gonna get it soon, but it's great to see some fixes for some of the problems you hear about getting put in. And I'd love a pub game code if ya could spare please. It'd be great being able to start earning gold and items to pimp a character with. December 3, 2008 8:35 PM

	SirDayne said: Hey Sam, Does "Additional unspecified fixes" include a fix for getting disconnected from Xbox Live / Messenger every 5-10 minutes whilst playing Fable II? (I have the Game Settings set to 'Friends Only' for the online part.) Fable II is the ONLY game that randomly disconnects me from Xbox Live / Messenger. Thanks, and looking forward to Knothole Island/this fix. Keep up the work! December 3, 2008 9:11 PM

If I kill her the +1000 renown pops from my head, and pops, and pops 'til I leave... But even if I do this the quest remains active and incomplete... Could you email me if you happen to read this and know any way I can get around this? You know, there's a pretty long glitch list in the Fable 2 forums at Gamespot.com, maybe you guys should check it out December 4, 2008 1:03 AM

	Chieffie said: Picture this ***: I come home after a long day's work. My girlfriend and her sister are going to the theatre, so I'm planning a nice quiet evening of Fable II. I'm in the middle of the Lady Grey-retrieving-mission and plan to go get her upper body. So, I line the couch with snacks and drinks, go to the toilet so I can stay on the couch playing Fable II for hours, I turn on my XboX, and see.... THE RROD! :'( Luckily MS is about their repair policy, they promised me to pick up my Xbox at my house withing 3 days, and return it within 15 days of arriving in the repair centre, all at no cost... But still, damn... Weird thing too, most people seem to get the RROD in-play, but when I shut down my Xbox last time, everything was fine, and now yesterday I turn it on and immediately RROD and black screen, didn't even see anything on the screen or any green light whatsoever...

	ElTipejoLoco said: I hope one of the unspecified fixes is one that lets you get new Bounty Hunter quests if you got a glitched one that is constantly at 0.0 days left (- after it glitched the creature count to 172, and then the count remained there until I completed a Community Service quest, ironically obtained by trespassing in the Oakfield home where I was supposed to exterminate the beetles plaguing it). Long story short, I have no idea how I'll get the Bounty Hunter title at this rate, which is what I'm actually trying to do. To be honest, this is the first "bad" glitch that I've come across, personally. Not that it's the first glitch I've come across. I've come by several beneficial glitches, and one that has a 'fix' (the furniture store). Ah well. December 4, 2008 2:09 PM
	acsa said: Personally I haven't experienced any of the bugs mentioned except for the dissapearing wife one, except from that I haven't found any bugs, btw I would love to get one of the pub games code that way i can get all my achievements...he December 4, 2008 2:27 PM

	ElTipejoLoco said: Temporarily fixed the glitch I had. ... By killing the Guard. I wonder if this is why the beta testers didn't report anything? "Hm, I seem to have a problem here. Wait, maybe it's intentional! The people of Albion ARE pretty stupid... Let me just chop this head off... ahh, there we go, debugging at its finest." Man, it's a thing I have a sense of humor, otherwise I'd complain a lot, eh? December 4, 2008 2:56 PM
	fatboyjam said: Can there be a thread dedicated to those asking for Pub Games codes (like the one titled, "Can I has code plz" I'm really interested in a discussion between Lionhead and users around the bugs being experienced and the status of this fix. It becomes a pretty worthless thread when 3 out of every 4 users are asking for free codes. December 4, 2008 3:01 PM

	torino_elite said: what about a patch to fix the freggin freezing issues your game causes? My box rrod while playing fable. it comes back fixed and will play every game except yours. It freezes after a few minutes of playing everytime. sometimes my dog is only a shadow, bandits are invisible. I know i am not the only one becuase i have read numerous reports stating similiar things. I am really close to swearing off microsoft and the 360 becuase it looks like sony fans are gaming it up worry and issue free. Please give me advice or @ least an update December 4, 2008 4:41 PM

And hello to Microsoft customer support reps. December 4, 2008 7:46 PM
	AliceIX said: YAY! PATCH SOON~!!! Could i please have a code as well?? I checked and its all used. Thanks!!!! PM please. or email. December 4, 2008 7:51 PM
	loocret said: um... I have an opinion about the whole Pub Games code crisis... Couldn't Lionhead just make it free? Then they developers and other people who send the codes can work on content for Fable 2 instead of having thousands of people saying that they want their codes. December 4, 2008 8:31 PM
	twelthdoctor said: I really only had (major) problems with Fairfax(wife issues), but my brother had issues with TOBY not showing a trail, and some shop menu-related freezing. The minor graphical bugs really aren't worth spending the time and money to fix to me. I just want a family to live in a castle without bugging out. December 4, 2008 8:54 PM
	Sam said: loocret we can't make it for free, and to be honest I don't think we should. The codes that are being given away are from a set of codes I received from our friend in the US to give away to our community! December 4, 2008 9:13 PM

	loocret said: oh sorry sam, I thought you were giving away the codes because of the whole "I preordered Fable 2 but didn't get a code" my bad. Well not that you cleared it up could I get a code too? a pm please. December 4, 2008 10:32 PM

	Benners26 said: Sam - can you confirm that a fix for the brightwood freezing is being completed as I cannot continue my game. I got stuck on the blind date quest and now I cannot continue with the core quests - really frustrating December 5, 2008 3:27 AM
	GdRppC said: "so for those (few) of you having trouble, we're listening to you." => WTF ??? Only a few people having trouble with Fable II ? Catch the Net to keep up and get the info I had to restart 4 times the very beginning of the game (childhood) because co-op play freeze the 360 when the autosave launches ! Since then, my luv & I don't play local co-op anymore, too afraid of loosing each other's character progression ... and I bought the damned game on day one mostly because of the local co-op functionnality. You can thanx my luv for convincing me not to bring back the game ou the store or put it on ebay on day two ... So now we are waiting for a patch that will take Mb on our 20 Gb hd : great news ! You guys should at least offer a dvd exchange for the game to avoid using my storage space to correct your hazardous work. And you guys could offer the KNOTHOLE ISLAND DLC for FREE during a limited period for all the early buyers that became beta testers instead of players. If console games become as fucked as pc games, we'll go back to pc. pause pipi ContreX, what else ?!? December 5, 2008 5:23 AM
	BigSlipper said: Could I second fatboyjam's request that Pub Games codes get a separate thread? Any interesting posts are getting completely swamped by desperate, would-be Pub Gamers... Glad the patch is coming. I'm one of the 'few' (that really is a bit rich) who's experience of the game has been completely ruined by glitches. December 5, 2008 5:24 AM
	Chieffie said: People are commenting about the ´few´ remark, think of this: say, 50.000 people are having issues with Fable II. But 1.500.000 copies were sold, and (let's say) another 100.000 copies were pirated... Then those 50.000 are 'only' 3,1% of the people that are playing Fable II. Which means that the other 96,9 % (or 1.550.000 people) are playing without issue. You just don't HEAR from them a lot. Probably because they're playing the game in stead of complaining here, as they have nothing to complain about. If you sold something worth € 100,- but you only got € 3,10 for it, wouldn't you say you only got 'A few bucks' for it??? But now when Sam says 'few', all of a sudden people are getting mad. YES, it sucks that a lot of people can't play the game (properly). YES, LH should fix this ASAP!!! (And hopefully are doing this mid-december). But also, YES, in the overall picture there are a 'few' people having issues... Think of them in % in stead of numbers. December 5, 2008 5:55 AM
	Dameon12 said: @chieffie: I play very often Co-Op and I never had these probs. Maybe there is an issue with your hdd or the game disc?? I dont like the static camera view in that mode but thats all i got problems with. Also I wouldnt post such things in a developers forum but take the game back to the shop where u bought it and change the disc. Maybe something's wrong with it. I know a lot of people who play Fable II that dont have your problems so the issue-% of these isn't that hight, too. To mention issues in % is dangerous as people just dont see the relation. Also it's a matter of the main unit of people who are in the counting. Just be happy that we all get a patch and that LH cares about the issues. I know other games that just arent worth their money but the dev. also dont do anything. I think Fable 2 is a great game with SOME issues. In your case i really think that the game disc is some kind of damaged. Just my 2 cents... btw: i installed the game on the hdd (yeeaaaah to the new Dashboard) maybe u should try that one out. Take care December 5, 2008 7:12 AM
	Chieffie said: @Dameon12: ? What problems? I'm not having problems with Fable 2, mine ran smooth from day 1... It's my Xbox that died, got the RRoD, but that may not have anything to do with Fable 2. I was mentioning % because although it SEEMS that a lot of people are having issues, when you look at % the problem isn't as bad as it seems. As to people not seeing the relation between numbers and %... Well, that's their problem I guess I did install Fable II to HDD as soon as NXE came out, runs even smoother then, but again: I didn't have any problem with the game to begin with. Maybe you were responding to someone else?? Or maybe you just misunderstood me. December 5, 2008 7:58 AM
	GdRppC said: Dameon12 must be responding to me when I started playing Fable II and having troubles at the very beginning, I didn't have a HDD, only a memory card. never any of my 10 xbox360 games froze my console before, only Fable II did. I can't bring back the disk to the store for a refund since it has been opened and used, more, the game disk surface has no scratches. I experienced also the never ending save or autosave freeze. I am not going to use valuable HDD space to install a game so I can play it : this is a PC world way of gaming & thinking. My point is : in the console gaming world, there's should NEVER be game breaking bugs such as those reported here and there, even if it's only concerns a few people ! There's should be none, zero, nada, no discussion possible ! Keep in mind that we are talking about a console game. What are going to do X360 Arcade models' owners with only a 256 Mb memory card and no Internet connexion to get and install the patch ? More, if new dvds containing the patched version of Fable II it the stores one day, what will I do with my lousy version 1.0 when I want to sell it as a used game ? Nothing, probably, 'cause who will want a to buy it ? pause pipi ContreX, what else ?!? December 5, 2008 8:22 AM

	selden0072old2pwn said: @ Chieffie you could not be so wrong. there are very few people that will take the effort to go to a web site and even less that will actual post to a forum or in respnse to a blog when they can see that their issue is not being fixed or even addressed. So take the amount of posts about bugs and glitches and multiply that who knows what and then you will see that there are many more pecentage points higher of users having problems with this game. To even use the term few is wrong in any sense of the word. It is a slap in the face of the community that has supported Lionhead and their games. December 5, 2008 5:18 PM

	Icarusty said: @GdRppC Don't know what country you live in, but in the Uk there is the Trade Descriptions Act - if the product is not fit for purpose, you are legally entitled to your money back. I think not being able to finish the game (or even get halfway through) is a perfectly valid reason. December 5, 2008 7:55 PM

	frenchie027 said: great that some bugs are getting fixed. of course the only bug i have, which keeps me from playing, is not up there. I can't get into Bowerstone without my screen freezing every time. theres alot of complaints about screen freezings...and it doesn't seem to have been recognized December 5, 2008 11:29 PM

	KingEnol said: Ok got to admit I am happy to hear about the patch but what about the Plaits Hairstyle Card game ending glitch. I know there are several unspecified additions to this patch but I would really like Lionhead to get specific with that one. otherwise I can't play the pub games with my hero 1. Which means I can't access Pub Game tournament winnings. Again thanks, its nice to know I wont have to worry about those glitches in the future. December 6, 2008 5:12 AM
	Lightmarez said: What about the wife glitch? When I returned from the Spire quest, my wife Alex disappeared and my child doesn't move and interact with me...but thank you very much, with this patch I can solve the Rescuing Charlie quest with my other Hero. I appreciate December 6, 2008 7:27 PM
	kaeru_keal said: - The Hero of Skill (Pirate King) – you’ll no longer get stuck during Hero of Skill quest (Bloodstone) What if I am stuck already? I mean...Is that only for future occasions or does that actually get the game to work normally again ? December 7, 2008 2:57 AM
	joshmonkey said: I'm stuck in bloodstone. When I try to puase. It says "Scene Paused". I'm apparently stuck in the Toby quest. I need help. My 30+ hours of gameplay better be able to be recovered. Or I guess I will not buy any more Lionhead games. December 7, 2008 2:43 PM
	netsurf12 said: I'm in the same boat joshmonkey, except I can leave that scene and after I leave out of the town up the hill, I can go do other quests, but they don't count towards the hero of skill quest December 7, 2008 2:52 PM

	Clouse said: I'm looking forward to the expansion. I hope the glitch involving the expression statues is fixed. They're all glitched and won't respond (don't have faces either) in my main file. I know they're not that important, because there are 51 keys in the game, so, you don't really need to worry about the one behind the door in Bloodstone, but it annoys me. I should be able to get the treasures they unlock, but a glitch is stopping me. December 7, 2008 10:58 PM
	GdRppC said: @Icarusty I'm in France, why do you think I'v the outrageous accent ? @Lightmarez +1, got the same problem too : my child stands still in my gipsy caravan and my gipsy wife is nowhere in the camp ... as long as she's happy though ! well that's it, I've given up, I've put the game for sale on http://www.priceminister.com/ and I hope to sell it quickly before Xmas to get a little money back to buy another game. I should have bought Dead Space or Tomb Raider Underworld instead of Fable II ! and if ever a new version of Fable II comes out on dvd, if I have money to spend I'll buy it after checking online comments here and there. pause pipi ContreX, what else ?!?

	ElTipejoLoco said: Sorry to bark in an old topic... The Rescue quest glitched on me. My child turned "autistic" for a while, and people spoke about how my child was missing/kidnapped, and in the end, I could not get it to trigger once my child 'fixed' herself and began to be responsive to my presence and expressions. I really want the Hobbe Head Staff trophy, and to finish that quest. Will this be fixed with the patch? Pro tip: If possible/feasible, include a Sort function for items. Items that have had dyes applied to them refuse to stack with one another, causing clutter. Additionally, they will randomly become jumbled and glitch augments onto one another (at least in the case of weapons). I know that the program attempts to sort weapons by base value, but it doesn't do a very job of it- and really sorts things rather randomly when it comes to any other type of item (i.e.- dyes, food, gifts, miscellaneous, and books & documents), which makes it all rather awkward to maneuver in- especially for an item collector like yours truly. Additional idea: Have a "Refuse/Reset Job" button if you find fixing certain glitches in jobs and quests much too difficult. I would recommend the X button be used for this when viewing Quests and Jobs. This would lead to people being able to get out of 'game breaking' quests or jobs, removing counters from the screen and the like. Just a thought. Cheers, Lionhead. December 11, 2008 7:36 PM
	Valina said: I hope they plan to fix the Co-Op over live issues? Why is it that if you are co-oping over live you can't adjust the camera? Why is it that both players can't explore past a certain distance from one another? It really makes no sence to be so limited over co-op via live? I could understand this with couch co-oping but not via live.. It's annoying. I also hate the bulls**t with only being about to trade out one item at a fracking time between players it takes forever to trade out gear if you want to start a new character why not setup a chest in the guild hall where you can store items you would want to give to your new character? I wanted to go through and redo the game with a purely character and see how things would change in the progression of the game world vs my purely character. December 13, 2008 9:54 AM
	Little_Taco said: I have played this game with 3 different discs, and have had the same freezing issues with all of them. I can't believe they haven't addressed this issue in their blog. I have emailed them twice and have yet to receive a response. I'm so disgusted with this company I'm just going to return the game (for the 3rd time) and give up. December 13, 2008 12:32 PM

	Valina said: Let's see Fable The Lost Chapters was released September 2005 Fable 2 was originally announced in 2006 and released in October 2008. I have to admit in 2 years time or less this game is a bit massive but it still saddens me that I paid full price for a limited edition of the game and don't feel the "extras" were worth the extra money I paid. Still waiting for bug and game fixes in software content :/ I would rather have waitied another few months for better beta testing but that's just me. December 15, 2008 8:23 AM
