I will continuously update this thread with any/every bug I find throughout the game, in order to help Lionhead studios provide us with updates and fixes.
FYI - I love this game, and will most likely play it through at least 2-3 times.

1)  Furniture Bug - Purchased a home, and went into "interior decorating" mode (or whatever its called). Went inside and just pointed at a few things, and clicked A to see what would happen. Decided not to change anything, and left the house. Since then, I've had the message at the top of the screen "Take this item to the furniture store,..etc.etc."
Even after exiting, and reloading my game! Turned it off last night in frustration. We'll see what I encounter when I return home from work tonight.

2) Graphical Bugs - Lakes extending into the air, Dog appearing to dematerialize, Skin/Face having patches of silver or grey...etc. This is one of the biggest detractions from the story and essence whichs makes Fable2 a great game.

3) Unable to Cast more than one Level 2 Spell - This is a design issue. Please, Will/Casting has always been my favorite part of any RPG. Don't detract from this feature by only allowing us to upgrade and cast one level 2 spell at any given time, without having to enter a menu.

...will keep you updated with more.
Thanks

1 more to add is that if you leave the temple before the abbot is done talking to explore. The quest locks up and you are not able to speak to him later to initiate quest. Some others have had this same issue.

4) SAVING - Most RPG games out there allow you to create multiple saves. Am I missing somethnig here, or does Fable 2 not allow multiple saves? What if I'm not sure about a particular decision I'm about to make, and want to save right before I choose?
What if I'm not sure how much profit a store/home is going to make for me, and I want to save before purchasing? What if I receive a horrible scar in combat, etc, etc.?
Dev team, if it's possible, please allow us to create multiple/custom named saves.

5) Loading Glitch - noticed there's times where the loading screen seems to slow to a crawl. Not sure if the loading process itself is slow, or just the graphical "gears turning" slows-down.

6) Graphics 2 - Many more glitches found during play. Lots of FPS drops, and issues during any kind of animation including: diving into water (splash), grabbing experience orbs, will use, etc.

4) SAVING - Most RPG games out there allow you to create multiple saves. Am I missing somethnig here, or does Fable 2 not allow multiple saves? What if I'm not sure about a particular decision I'm about to make, and want to save right before I choose?

Number 4 is not a bug. This was intentionally put in here so that if you made a wrong decision, you had to stick with it.

Like the guy above me says, they want you to pay for your actions and so it was intentionally put into the game.

Being nice is strange, I can see a lot up here on morale highground

How bout the one where the screen does not fit the TV?

---

Add me on live Gtag: COG dizzy

Have a glitch to add:
Quest: Treasure Island of Doom!
After collecting Captain Dread's treasure and returning to Bloodstone, Salty Jack(or was it Jake?) is nowhere to be found making the quest impossible to complete.

I see... Well, it would still be nice to have the choice. But, I undertsand the decision from a design perspective.

This is more of a general "development" type of glitch thread.
PLUS, please specify that you are about to post a SPOILER, prior to doing so.

Some of us don't even want a hint at what may be to come, later on in the game.
Thanks.

and lets not forget about a major problem with the game freezing up when you try to load your game and you will never be able to play that save again

here is an idea of what its like to experience it
"Man fable 2 was awesome im going to go to sleep and play it again tomorrow, *wakes up the next morning* time to play fable *game freezes when loading* WTF Man"

Finally there is a thread that will help instead of just ***.

There are some experience glitches, for more info look in the spoilers section.

Well sorry, I don't consider anything not dealing with the main story a spoiler.

Also to comment, what exactly do you mean by that spell casting glitch?

You, can fix that bug by going back into decorate mode, Entering decorate mode again, go back out click on the sign and EXIT decorating mode. I Had this bug all day yesterday, annoying as hell. But I figured it out, you have to "exit" this mode for the banner to go away.

Another thing, you can cast more than 1 level 2 spell, without going into the menu.

Hold Right Trigger and use the quick spell book (Using the D pad) move up and then left and right when you get to level 2 spells. You can switch between spells very fast this way

AH HA!  I just bought my first marital house yesterday and had the same problem!  While not game-ending it is pretty annoying to constantly have that up there.  Is there anyway to fix this?  Please Lionhead, please give some feedback here!

Aside from that one thing, I've had a great time playing the game so far

(forgot to mention for the sake of bug testing: I went through the same process as dttuner.)

Game Killing Bug -

I made it to Oakfield and was supposed to go talk to the Abott, naturally I did other things when I first arrived. So this morning I go to talk to the Abott and as soon as I walk in the glowing circle disappears but the conversation does not begin and I can not get it to do anything. I quit out and reload my save and the same thing happens every time, I even tried going to another region and then back to the Temple and nothing happens. The large yellow circle on the map that represents your current quest has disappeared and now I am screwed since I went and did the sculptor side quest which immediately saved my game upon completion and now the game is saved with the quest icon missing. The quest is still in the log but yet again nothing happens when I return to temple. Now I would not mind restarting since I am not that far into the game, but I merged my money from Pub Games onto this character and so all of that gold and items go bye bye if I have to restart

I'm having a screen display problem too.  I'm running in widescreen at 720p and the subtitles at the top are getting chopped off and the health meter is just barely visible.

I was playing the first big mission and killing some Hobbes. I walked towards a ladder and fell straight off of the map. I was walking in oblivion. It reminded me of the N64 days where you could look at the level from outside the map. When I fell off the map I got the Cliff Diver 5G's. I really love the game so far, but some of these errors have killed the immersion factor. Co-op was fun; however, there was a decent lag (servers probably lagging due to load). I was the hench-woman. The host would kill off everyone on screen 5 minutes prior to the enemies appearing on my screen. Its not my IP since I running 15 Mbps up and down. 

1. Applying secondary dye to any item causes the screen to jump, glitch and pause.  This happens every single time.

Place: Browerstone

2. Working as a Black Smith you lose your gloves.  When you are done working you have to re-equip your gloves.

3. Audio - There are a lot of audio issues.  For example when listening on a 5.1 surround system and in a Town, you will hear very loud spikes in the speech of townsfolk's.  No they are not yelling at me, just talking normal when all the sudden audible level of their voice spikes really loud. 

4. Not being able to assign potions to the D-pad ala Fable 1 really sucks.  Having to go to the pause menu really takes you out of the action. I know the game automatically chooses a food item or potion but it's never what I actually wanted to use.

5. Menu lag.  If your going to force us to spend a ton of time in the start menu, at least create a lag-free enviroment.

I love Fable and Fable 2 was by far my most anticipated game of the year.  That said, the lack of polish sucks.  I really feel like I'm playing a Beta version of the game.  So many graphic and audio errors. 

Please patch all these issues,  Fable deserves better.

 

 

I have a huge glitch/bug that I encountered last night, and it literally stops all progression in the game. MINOR mission (side quest) spoiler in the first image:

http://i33.tinypic.com/1585y6h.jpg

http://i37.tinypic.com/2dbv1gg.jpg


Now to the description, which also contains spoilers of the "The Sculptor" side quest:

I already commissioned the statue, but set the quest back to "primary" when I wanted to see if it was complete. I went into the circled area to talk to her, then the "Accept" dialogue came up. Now, IT CANNOT GO AWAY! It's stuck there no matter what I do, or where I go. I can only walk (not run), and I can't draw weapons or travel/start a new quest (reference image 2).

Please, someone tell me that I'm doing something wrong. I can't seem to get rid of the dialogue at the top, and renders my "A" button useless.

I refuse to believe this game was tested for bugs at all. Not even 5 hours in and I've already had a serious problem like this?!

EDIT: And yes, I've tried holding the "A" button down many times. All it does is fill the circle clockwise and stay full - nothing happens. Can't believe I might have to restart my game...

I've had all those but the gloves and audio ones, and I absolutely agree, if it wasn't for the bugs this game would be pretty much perfect.

yeah a lot of people have experienced what i call the glued dialogue glitch where either the black thing containing some dialogue or the meter showing how much someone hates or likes you just stays at the top of the screen and the only way ive found to get rid of this when i had the like/dislike at the top staying up there i had to get the person that it belonged to and get them to follow me to somewhere remote and i just killed them and it went away, dont know if it works for dialogue too

Alot of us are having problems with consistent crashing.  Seem to happen at different points in the game for players and usually every 5 to 45 minutes.  I can't tell if this is a hardware or a software issue but it seems to be affecting a lot of people and emptying the cache and deleting bad downloads doesn't seem to fix the problem.  Please tell us if anyone discovers how to fix this.  Here is the link to the discussion of this issue:

Sadly, I don't think that could work in my situation. As mentioned before, I CANNOT even take out my weapons, so killing her would be impossible. It's not even the dialogue box I'm concerned over, it's the fact I CANNOT DO ANYTHING other than work around at tortoise speed.

This is so incredibly frustrating. I might just start again...

One of my wives is gone...vanished.  She didn't leave me.  Her status is still there, and my baby remains upstairs.  She is just not in the world anymore.  I took her into another zone before I realized she was following me, then dismissed her, now I haven't seen her again.

This is really annoying.

AtlasKish:

Kinda exactly. I did the 'skip conversation' dealy-o and attained the same end result.

I spent ~4 hours last night trying to figure out what to do next. the guy at the tavern was never there, the bandits were never at the inn. I get to start over, yay me!

I've also had it where the hate/love meter of an NPC is stuck at the top of the screen; Where the barkeep was selected and you could see the "A" above his head acorss the map; The xbox lags (like it's memory is bogged down?).

My buddy merged his pub patron with his hero, he got the cash but not the items. Maybe it's a case of him not looking in the right spot for them, or maybe it's another issue.

Not a glitch, but the camera movement with the right stick is the kind that makes me want to literally barf (I dare not touch it)....and the MP experience is a joke.

This is my "first" fable experience. I pre-ordered the LE 2 months ago...and even got one of the ones from gamestop that didn't have the cards...and if the rumors are true that you'd have to start over to get the stuff the codes unlock...well, big fail there guys.

My experience with the game has been a big disappointment even *before* I opened it...and now these problems.

The game-play itself seems pretty , nothing to wet one's pants over. It's definitely a fantastic waste of time.

Unfortunately, I now have absolutely no faith in Lionhead. Thanks for the spectacular let down.
