Jeust:

I started playing my game today in the wraithmarshes and suddently my camera started quivering from time to time, for about fifteen minutes. Is that a know bug? What does causes it? is there a workaround? I hope it's manageble because it kills all the emersion just having the camera quivering all of a sudden.

Heya, what causes this is the hollowmen popping out of the ground periodically, when you cross certain points in wraithmarsh hollowmen spawn, a lot of the time out of earshot and even view, but the screen still shakes when they burst out of the ground.  In other words, its just a poorly implemented feature.



And also, anyone have a problem with people's opinion bars freezing on them?  I'm noticing that quite a few people in my game have their bars for like/dislike, scary/funny etc frozen, and nothing changes them, even though the effects of what you do still appear above their head. It seems like the people who have something to give you are the ones having this problem, really annoying considering all I hear about with my family is "mom seems upset"  I want presents dammit!

if there's some way to jumpstart the game to get this working I'd be very happy to hear it.

Having a huge problem with the Rescue mission. I get it from my wife just fine, but I had her on follow when it popped up and she refuses to stop following me until I start the mission and enter the hobb cave, ok so no big deal I thought, she stops following me there if I tell her. I got through the mission and went up the ladder, but my daughter just got stuck next to the cave exit, zombified. I can push her around with my character, but still nothing. My wife is there to pick her up, but she doesn't. I can make her follow me and interact with her, but she won't finish the quest. Since this is my Love character, and Fable is one of the few games with choice decisions enough that I like to stick with them for my characters, I would really rather not just let my child die, but at this point if I want to continue playing, that's the only choice I have. Saw some other people on the forum complaining about this 3 months ago. Lionhead, seriously, don't just ignore bugs because you're working on new material! I was going to get the new content asap but seeing as how I can't play my main character I'm not going to get it until I either get around this bug or it's fixed.

I'm finding that the Job ratings aren't displaying correctly in the menu.  For example, my Hero is a 5-star Woodcutter, but in the menu, it lists it as a 4-star, and when I go to that job, it says I'm a 5-star woodcutter, too.

Right i have TWO bugs

ONE: i moved house with my spouse and set it as my new maritle home. now the old house has the same menue as my maritle home and i cant rent or sell it. I moved again and now i have 2 houses i cant rent or sell because they are acting as the maritle home. i tried once more and you gussed it the same thing happend.

TWO: on my other character my wife who is lady jane grey wont follow me, she has no ring above her head to indicate marage nor dose she have any + signs when i emote over her head BUT i can see her bar go up. she keeps cowering on the spot for some reason and i cant start my child rescue quest, its the only quest i havent done!!!.

I haven't played since Knothole Island and I got See the Future yesterday... for some reason I can't access the Snow Globe, and I'm starting to get a bit pissed... the message keeps popping up to activate it, but when I try nothing happens... I'm running the game from the drive, I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but any help is appreciated.... if this is some sort of bug I'll freak.

I have the bug where Lion Head Isle is inaccessible. I was trying to go back there and kill the gargoyle I missed in that part. It goes to the load screen, loads for awhile, and then locks up on the load screen. I have both the KI and the StF DLC. I have found several other listings of this glitch/bug on the internet, but I have yet to find a solution (if one exists). If there is a workaround that doesn't involve starting up a new character I'd love to know about it.

ive had a bug where i cant target anyone   nothing at all    im finding this very annoying and can i get sum1 to help

ok i have a MAJOR glitch here when i went to the wraithmarsh demon door with the crowd of people i walked aaway from the door for a split second and now my character cant move and wont let me fast travel cause it says im in a scene!

this is stupid i really love fable and this is my main character ruined and i cba making a new one considering i hav done evrythin on my main. . . . this bug has bee n seen plenty times be4 and still hasnt been fixed

BY THE NINE!

I recently got this bug where i receive x2 the base points for a single deed. For example, let's say i murder a villager i receive  30 points + another 30.
I realized this started to happen when i started a new game after installing the 2 expansions (although i'm not willing to delete them since i payed for them)
This doesn't apply for points received in quests, but it's making things a little easy to get fully and kind of hard for a character (every time you steal you get 5+5 points). Kind of spoils the experience.
Any reply would be appreciated.

Love Hurts quest bug. NPC doesn't react to the Hero.

I have a big bug with that quest, but a bit different either the topic author's bug. The bug is the following:
I got and bring him to the Mansion first part of body, then the second part, but still can't give him the head. As I understood reading the walkthrough the gravekeeper Victor must be in his Mansion, but in my game he is standing far from his house, between the locked gates and the hobbles ambush and doesn't react to me, just stand and that's all. When I came to him (to that place) for the first time, gravekeeper and some other NPCs stood in each other in one spot and sometimes one of them (an old woman NPC) flied up upwards. I taunted, played music etc (make some BLOCKED EXPRESSION, and for that moment they ran away from this spot and applause me. After I finished my expressions they got back to stick with Victor and/or fly under his head. Time to time I came back to Victor, but he still doesn't react to me. I finished the game, 2 DLCs and he still don't want to speak to me. If I go to his house and read some his notes about experiment, then I remain locked in his cellar until I'll load the last saving point.

Sorry for duplicate.

@NaughtyZeut

Well yeah Maybe there is a solution, not sure, just a guess I thought of.
Copy your Hero on your HDD, makes you get 2 save games right?
In case it goes wrong 1 save file is corrupted? not both?
So you actually SHOULD be able to choose what HERO you want to CARRY ON WITH.
Not sure if it works, just a thought of me.

If this really works, copying your hero on your HDD, then ALL problems of HERO corruptions are solved, as you are able to choose the hero when you press continue, then you should just see a duplicate rofl ^.^
Just copy your hero once in a while when youre making progress, your save file gets corrupted? you still have the other, duplicate that one, and start playing again =]

I just bought a 360, but well reading all this stuff makes me want to return this game.
I guess the best you just can do is before you ever start a game, clear cache, copy to HDD, download patch, and then start.
Copy your Hero every once in a while, thats all you can do I guess. I hope what I just told above here really works Then I would be soooooo happy ^^!

And download all the new patches of course ^.^ Im sure a few patches will be released later as I still see many bugs being told by you guys.

did this topic die or something?

I dont know, Ive just got the game last week and I've run into lots of glitches. I thought they would all be fixed by now, games been out a while. Anyway, if you know where I can get some help I would appreciate it if you could let me know!

Unfortunately I'm stuck at the same spot.  I accepted the blind date quest and then went to the market.  When I try to return to Brightwood the screen freezes.  I've tried entering Brightwood from both sides with the same results. I even tried to do other quests and then go back.  Nothing seems to work, which is lame, and it looks like this problem has been going on for some time.  I didn't do the Cullis Gate quest right away.  I like to knock out all the side quests before I go through with the main campaign.  When I get the nerve to restart my game I'll try doing the main quest first. 

My game-ending glitch:

Blackmail: Pay Kenneth 2,000 Gold?
That message was near permanently etched on my Fable 2 HUD. I walked up to Kenneth to pay him the gold, and instead of having to hold down the 'A' button, I tapped it and he disappeared with the quest saying something to the effect of I failed and my spouses will leave. And as the game was intentionally designed, it saved immediately so that I wouldn't be able to do the quest as I had intended. AND the "Blackmail: Pay Kenneth 2,000 Gold?" dialogue box/black band remains on the screen with the option to hold down the 'A' button to complete the quest. Now this won't go away, unless I teleport somewhere, but once I start another quest, it pops up without fail. To make matters worse, the 'A' button is very (if not completely) unresponsive to objects in the environment. I have to tap it repeatedly to activate merchants or buy a home; I haven't been able to go to sleep yet because the beds seem completely unresponsive to the 'A' button. As well, it seems I have to keep moving around the object/merchant to find a "sweet spot" as sometimes this will allow me to purchase a house or activate a merchant. This basically renders the game unplayable as I have to pick up the seal from Reaver's first quest to continue the story.

I have downloaded all updates, including the free versions of two DLC updates.

I will not start the game over because it would be a waste of time to have my progress ended by another unresolvable glitch. So any suggestions to delete or "bite the bullet" are unacceptable.

Like many who paid money for this game, I am a fan who really enjoyed the first Fable and most of Fable 2 until I couldn't play it anymore. A lot of this could have been solved by allowing players to have multiple save files, but that's neither her nor there. Sure it was a great idea, but terrible in application because if there is a glitch, as all games have, then you can't revert back to a previous save. Fallout 3 has tons of glitches, but thanks to being able to manage my own multiple save files, I can actually play/finish the game.

If anyone can't point me to some official word that Lionhead is working on this, that would be very encouraging. It doesn't leave a impression that Lionhead released two purchasable DLC updates without resolving major issues with the original game.

they released a patch that solved a bunch of crap, but they failed to resolve quite a few (notably the "love hurts" glitches), your glitch sounds damn nasty, but I'm afraid that a second patch is likely not in our future:

Gradius1:

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I don't think there will be anymore 'fixes' unfortunately. Don't quote me on that though as I am not in the loop on that stuff.

You never know...if a big enough mob gathers with torches and pitchforks, they might decide to do something about it.

I wouldn't get your hopes up though, sadly.

And yes, I realize I am quoting him.
Sorry about that glitch, sounds horrible.  Have you tried digging when affected by it? for some reason that often solves problems

satansmunchkin:

hey man, just wanted to let you know going to dinner with your wife and plan on boning her until she screams, you'll then get the sloppy seconds

Unfortunately, digging up treasure doesn't change anything. I certainly hope Lionhead is working on another update. If not, it looks like we'll have to get our torches and pitchforks ready.

I just downloaded the See the Future DLC, and it introduced the following bugs:

Dog is unresponsive. He just lays there not moving, which means the quest I'm currently on that requires digging is broken.

Townsfolk flash. Townsfolk that have a set location are fine, but the ones that wander seem to teleport all over the place, making it so I can't interact, and it looks wierd.

Scroby:

My game freezes everytime I try to go back to Lion Head Isle. It didn't freeze before I downloaded the Knothole Island DLC but now it does. Time for another patch!

Same problem for me and I have to reboot my 360 each time.

"The "freezing game" issue statistically occurs in a relatively small number of cases (around 15%), it has proved impossible to reproduce and so for this reason is highly unlikely to be the subject of a bug fix or patch."

Because 15% aint costumers, what a load of craptalk.

Ruraraid:

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"

This is an extremely frustrating problem. I have put 25 hours into this game and I downloaded the new dlc recently. I went to play the game and got  Storage device error that said the storage device I used to download the dlc was not connected. My harddrive has been connected for weeks. I really don't want to start over just to play my dlc. I really need a solution to this problem

Yeah, I had the exact same issue. Deleting the DLC and redownloading it doesn't help.

As of now, your game is over, unless you want to start an entirely new character and hope that you don't run into any other game breaking bugs.

Is there a point to these forums, other than giving angry customers a place to impotently vent?

The love hurts quest is still bugy....and now the cruicble is buggy; You now have to go through twice before you can get the chopper....which is not how it was before...and shouldn't be[:angrey:]....also, this seems to be connected to the loading glitch somehow; you try and load up you character or another area and it refuses to load, or your xbox red rings, or it just freezes...this is horrible Lionhead...you need to fix this...

use of color...

I just downloaded Knothole Island (a bit behind on the times I know) and See the future. These updates made me excited for Fable again. That is until I got to the main menu. All of my saves were gone. Not only did the main menu not say continue, when I looked on my hard drive, no saves were there. The saves for my other games were there, but no Fable. I know for certain nothing was deleted, the only thing different is the updates. So now I am but a small Sparrow again.

I have a couple of issues now after getting the "see the future" dlc. First, npc's flicker and take a long time to appear. Secondly, in the snow globe one of the orbs that you are supposed to hit with your sword is stuck in a treasure chest in the far corner of the region next to the broken boat on the beach. I can see it in the chest but I have tried everything to hit it. Finally, load times are much longer than prior to the dlc. takes 5-10 mins to load a new location.
