Out of every game ive ever own that i bought the first week or two of its realease. NEVER have i EVER seen a game with soooo much bugs, and not little bugs, these are bugs that r staying with ppl for the rest of the game, even preventing them from playing the game, and It is lionshead's fault for realeasing it too early.

 

I dont buy a game so i can tell them what they need to fix, i buy it to play it and expect no game ending bugs, and little to no minor bugs

Problem: Can't complete Retribution Quest after killing Lucien at Spire.
Note: No updates has been downloaded from Xbox Live.(Why? Because the upgrades seemingly broke my girlfriends game-files. Up until the end the game functioned as it should)

What happend:
After choosing "The Family" ending, aka the "Love" card, I recive Rose's letter at Okvale Bridge. By the letter I am guessing she is in Brightwood.

Now worth knowing is that I bought and moved in my wife and child at Giles Farm before I started the "Bloodstone Assault" quest. I had also bougth Brightwood Tower, and done the "Sleep in the bed" quest (and done the nightmare hollow thing).

As I enter Brightwood from Bower Lake, I emediatly recive the "Garth's Note" (or some-such) that I originally got when I bougth the Brightwood Tower. This initiates the "Nightmare Hollow" quest by telling me to go to the top-most bed in the tower and sleep (again!). By now I also notice the Glowing Trail is gone, and it does not re-appear as long as I stay in Brightwood (it does appear when i leave Birghtwood for say Bower Lake).

Resisting this, I return first to Giles Farm, or my farm as I like to call it. There my child is, but my wife is nowhere to be found (bummer). When I try to fast-travel to her, I am sent to Bowerlake Road in Brightwood. She is not there. She is in fact completly missing.

Then I go to Brightwood Tower, it is empty as it has allways been since I bougth it. Head up to the bed and sleep. I am sent to Nightmare Hollow again! Here there is no glowing trail, all chests and expression statues are opend or used, though Chesty is here and I again complete his little quest and awaken. I recive Renown, again, and the trophy, again. Nothing has changed in Brightwood when i get out of the tower.

I try to run around and get the trail to re-appear by entering and leaving, setting trails to god-knows how many places and thing in and out of Brightwood. Nothing helps and nothing happens.

This sucks. I have spent allmost 40h playing, and choosen to ignore minor bugs along the way, but when I can' complete the main storyline one inch from the finish-line I get scencerily pissed off.

Fable 2 is by far the best game in a long time but goddamn it.

Also:
I somebodey allready has pointed this out, I am sorry if I am repeting what people and hopefully Lionhead already know.

So, I'm just wondering here, would I be forced to join xbox live to get a patch? Or would lion head provide some sort of CD that I can get it from as well? I don't want to have to pay an additional fee just to get a patch...

Problem: Completed the game and froze up when I tried to play a Pub Game in Game
Note: My patches are up to date and I've completed the game... totally.

What happened:
I was being a hero, just walking around thinking I was gonna be having fun after I owned everything in the game and have done every quest. Then I decided to play a Pub Game in Bowerstone Market at the Tavern I owned. Little did I know that when I exited the game, it froze up. It saved as I exited the game and when I was brought back to the real world, it constantly tries to give me the Plaits Hairstyle Card. I have already recieved this... Twice... I shutdown my system and have started it back up, only to have this come back up. I have constantly hit "A" and have constantly been given the card. Any work arounds or help would be great. Please update to stop this or at least tell me how to stop this.

Thanks

Have a few glitches to add:

When i completed the Treasure island of Doom, i could talk to salty jack but afterwards the game was in slow motion all the time, I reloaded and it was the same.  i managed to get the hero of skill but when i got there the door closed behind me and he is frozen like a statue and i cant interact with him. i treid to reload but i sart in the room with him and cant do anything and i had to sart a new hero

After I completed the Crucible and saved it, i can no longer load that game.  the xbox freezes every time i try to play that saved game and i have to shut it down. i had to start another new hero.

hopefully 3rd times a charm but this is unaceptable. how many game ending glitches can there be????

I have serious doubts that the new patch will cure all these bugs.

u can get the patch with a silver account no charge

Ok, Iv tried finding my problem in the forums but I'v yet been able to.  Everything in the game was going fine, really great.  Once I got to Tattered Spire I'm just stuck in the just scene going slow motion, there is nothing I can do, I can't leave, I just walk everywhere in slow motion, I can't even draw my out my sword when I am able to.  Is there a fix for this or am I doomed for wasting my hours on this game.  Please let me know if anyone has a solution.

Thanks

I have the identical problem.  It makes it a challenge to play the game. 

I also had the game freeze after playing it for six hours.  I had to restart the Xbox, and it sent me back to the game save from when I first started(I lost the six hours).  The frustration has taken the fun out of it for me.  I am taking my game back.  I will buy it again if they have a major patch announement.

I had a “bug” where my game froze while it was saving. Now the game won’t load at all. Since you can’t have multiple saved games I have lost my Hero with many hours of progress.

I get that you don’t offer multiple saves so players have to stick with their choices, but the game as it currently stands is unplayable. I am not sinking hours into a game that you can’t back up.

On the patch update, no mention was made of this particular issue, which leads me to believe it is not being addressed. I plan on returning my copy for a refund.

I think I've found a glitch too. When you go to rescue your child from the Hobbe cave, and you then exit to Rookridge, your child isn't with you. I ended up leaving the region, going home, and what do I find? My child, safe and sound with her father. However, the quest was still there, and after ignoring if for a bit my child ended up being eaten by Hobbes any my husband divorced me (see below).

I think he divorced me, anyway. I'm married - it says I'm married, I can travel to him via the "Families" section on the pause screen - but when I get to him, his ring icon above him is gone. He still treats me like I'm his wife, but still...

I've also experienced the glitch where my wife never left but I can't find her anywhere in the game. I've looked far and wide (I lost her in Westcliff), and I still can't find her.

Villagers are only fun to kill once you don't need experience.

Animations seem to get stuck

I think it happens when you get hit during them. IE Floating lightning balls (haven't noticed it on any other spell yet) One of my heroes also got stuck in a jesus christ pose after vaulting off a ledge and being shot by a bandit...although it did look cool for awhile and I did float around for the rest of the hour(s) I played. Will edit post when I play again...hopefully it won't stick after saving and a restart.

Soo yeah, I've been trying to fix the TOBY quest forever. I really hope that Lionhead fixes all these bugs after the big update to the dashboard

Hello there guys. If this has been mentioned already I apologize.

1.The graphical stuttering when walking at a slower place 2.The fact that some environmental structures cause me to be caught or "slide".3.PLEASE, PLEASE implement a stay command for the dog.4.My dog constantly running through me(collision issue) Also the fact my dog "nudges" me constantly moving my character without my say-so.(it just looks really lame and it happens a lot)5.Multiple save files would be really nice. Thank you for listening and I'm looking forward to the patch! luck!

 

I got the patch, but I'm still getting the corrupt auto-save when garth gets captured. Does the patch only apply to the gamer tag that downloaded the patch? Do I have to start an entirely new game for the patch to have any effect?

Please forgive this long rant I am about to make but this issue is close to my heart.

Looking through the bugs some of you guys have I feel almost ashamed at putting these ones down...

After I imported the Sleepmaster 3000 from the Fable Pub Games, the furniture store in Bowerstone Market stopped selling furniture and now only sells the book "Pretty on the inside".

Its a shame i have to go to Bloodstone each time to buy my furniture. Its just one of those annoying things.

The other Glitch I have...

After doing the Bounty Hunter job in Bowerstone, I accidently smashed some windows using a spell whilst killing Bandits. Imagine my anger when these windows refuse to repair and make the place look like crap.

These Bugs wouldn't be so bad if i hadn't got my character to full stats, completion of game, all legendary weapons, 100% of the properties and over £14,000,000 legitimately. I ain't starting again after that so I'm just going to play Saints Row 2 until a patch comes out.

Maybe if we had MULTIPLE SAVE SLOTS we could just load a previous save game instead of going right back to the start because we can't fix these bugs. That was the case with Oblivion. I know they want us to live with choices but I don't see why we should live with sloppy development. After all Peter said he didn't want to stop players doing what they wanted and having fun when making a reference about higher experienced players helping lower experienced players so why the hell are players having to live with anything anyway.

Or maybe we could have a MASTER RESET option that completely cleans all areas and returns Monies, Items and Economy to as if you had never been there, once you had completed the game. Then at least you could go buy everything back "Bug-Free" and could actually enjoy the game. Maybe something with the Spire cleaning Abion or a few years passing in-game could help tidy up any storyline problems.

The amount of bugs in this game is very bad to be honest. Considering how annoyed I am at having a week of my real life time wasted with these small bugs I can imagine how annoyed you guys are with the whole ARMY of bugs out there.

Dynasty Warriors had less bugs... (and yes i mean Dynasty Warriors 1)

Saying all this I am a real Fable 1 fanboy. Fable 1 really made me think differently like seeing a really movie or reading a really book. It helped me come to terms with choices I've made and realise that most people live in the "Grey" area of morality. Because of this I don't feel so bad about some of the dumb things I've done.

But so far all I've heard is Fable 2 comparing itself to Fable 1. Its bigger, its smoother, its better. Trouble is, its a whole new Generation of console, it sure as hell should be and in my opinion (and almost everyone I've spoken too on Live's too) it sure as hell isn't. It aint half as as Fable 1 in comparison to the tools available to the artist, in the same way a really  pencil sketch can be better than a really lame, blurred photo taken at speed by a blind, limbless mokey. Sure Fable 1 had a cliched beginning, a tongue in cheek middle and a cheesy bad guy, but thats what made it the awesome game it was.

I think the only way Fable 2 can be the game it promised is downloadable content, multiple save slots, a master reset to clear out bugs, being able to show off your hero as a henchman on co-op, and it needs to be done fast.

Peter said he has become better at telling stories since Fable 1 and I have to agree.

We sure as hell was sold some story...

I know they want us to live with choices but I don't see why we should live with sloppy development.

Thanks.

can anyone tell me why im not making money?

i haven't played fable 2 since sunday and i have over 500,000 gold

and it was suppose to accumulate my gold even after im not playing, so what's up with that?

and another thing, i can't draw my weapons or spells or talk to anyone in bloodstone arrrgghh! this is so annoying! please someone help &_&

thx!

Your stuck in a "cut scene" that never ended.  The same thing has happened to me but there is nothing I can about it.  My game is done because of this. It looks as if they are not going to make a fix for this anytime soon.  luck with starting a new character over again.

What?  Is there a patch?  How do I get it?

Xael:

I got the patch, but I'm still getting the corrupt auto-save when garth gets captured. Does the patch only apply to the gamer tag that downloaded the patch? Do I have to start an entirely new game for the patch to have any effect?

 

Patch?  What patch?

this is a weird bug (not crippling) but its interesting... my guy has horns, red eyes, and.... a halo? any insight on this?

m'kay... before I was amazed I have horns, red eyes... and a halo. but now my dreds seem to be coming out of my chest...

Ok honestly I didnt feel like looking through and reading every glitch posted so here are the ones I have encountered.

Major Glitch :
When on the Lady Grey quest to reassemble her body, I was collecting the head and had gotten sidetracked and did a slaver quest and went into the gargoyle chamber before returning the head to the cemetery. When I got to the house, the gravedigger says nothing I walk to the basement I grabbed his dairies, walked up to him and nothing happens he stands there and does nothing. I then left the area and loaded Lowtown. On my return Lady Grey is walking around aimlessly near the house, she stops and looks at me but I cannot interact with her whatsoever. To fix this I had luckily saved before acquiring the head and avoided doing ANYTHING else before returning the head first. Everything worked fine from then on.

Minor Glitch:
After marrying Lady Grey, I set her allowance at the 4 star house in the Town Square location on the way to Fairfax Gardens at 500, this of course was our marital home. However now when I try and set the allowance back to 200 per day, it still removes 500 a day. I am unable to reduce the overall amount for allowance, no matter what value below 500 I set it to.

Minor Glitch:
I was unable to recreate this however I shall try to detail it as much as possible. I was on my way to Westcliff for the first time as I arrived I stood around as Hammer and the 2 individuals at the gate berated each other. I Opened the menu looked at my items, waited a bit longer. As I entered Westcliff the game seemed to be loading something, but nothing was happening on screen. NOBODY was around in Westcliff it was a dead city. I thought everyone was asleep. I walked around some more and as I descended from the upper Bar platform the game went into heavy loading. Freezing the game. I had to turn off the game and restart, when I tried to load it took nearly 5 minutes to load my saved game. I was afraid I had lost all my progress.

Minor Continuation:
Which is why you should have more than one save slot. If a game is corrupted hopefully all of them are not. I can restart at a later date instead of at the beginning of the game again. Unless of course you fix all the save game issues with freezing.

m'kay... before I was amazed I have horns, red eyes... and a halo. but now my dreds seem to be coming out of my chest...

Well... i have this weird bug, useful though. When i try to "un upgrade" the physique attribute it gives me back the experience, but it doesnt un upgrade it... i tried doing it lots of times but I ended with something la 1,000,000 or more general experience... Yesterday i finally could un upgrade it, however i dont know what the heck i did, just that it got un upgraded...

Now i got the same problem again, i would like to know if there's a patch to fix this up or if im the only one with this bug o_O
