    It happened to me too and now I have no audio on the videos explaining each ability. All these bugs are really bringing down my whole enjoyment of the game. Hope this gets fixed soon since cause other than that this is pretty amazing game.

    This happened to my friend about the fourth time we did co-op. He was pissed off, so I did the glitch as mentioned by SUP72EME is not online. Last active: 10-29-2008, 0:53'SUP72EME' in conjunction with purchased xp potions for him. Money is too easy to get annoyed about.

    thegreek788:
    this just happened to me, is there any way of fixing it so i can get my exp and gold back? i had almost maxed out on strength and skill and had gotten my will up very far as well.Dead [:notalive:]Mad [:mad:]Cry [:cry:]

    Not yet, but I had an dea that GMs could do to help people. In journal,shows total XP earned. GMs could get a custom potion that does that much xp(general), go into persons game, give them all xp, then drink it or gift it. Might be troubbesome, but it would help.

     

    1 - This isn't a MMORPG, there are no GMs that can reimburse.

    If your savegame in Mario or another singleplayer game (even those that you can play online) gets corrupted there is nothing to do about it.

    It's a shame that there are so many bugs in this game, but it won't help whining about it and asking for a reimbursement of your EXP since it simply isn't possible.

    Just use one of the "exp glitches" to get your EXP back.

    The same thing happened to me 2 nights ago.  My FIance started a game for the first time and asked me to join with her, so i did. We made it to Bowerstone lake when she was ready to quit.  I loaded my game back up and much to my surprise i was completely broke and lost all my abilities and my Horns(E v i l [Evil] toon). I had to ask a friend to buy me potions (lots of them) just so i can get my toon strong enough to continue gaming.

    I wish everybody would cut Lionhead some slack! All I've seen is "RAAAAGE I'M SO *%&"$* MAD!!!" Yet, not one of you has mentioned WHY you wanted this game, and WHY you love it so much for this to annoy you.

    It's a game, and yes, you do put your time and money into it,but so did they. They tried their damn hardest to give us everything we wanted so just chill out and enjoy the game. If you had to try that hard to get some money and exp that you can't stand going through it again, well maybe you should try a game like Pacman because this game is OBVIOUSLY way too hard for you.

    On the other hand, Lionhead I think you did an absolutely wonderful job on the game. No glitch is going stop me from enjoying it.

    And I wish the fan-trolls  could find a way to undo their breainwashing. Having your character wiped by a bug that is almost certain to come up  and obvioulsly has hit loads of people  is a big deal. Yeah the game overall is awesome, but my character got wiped and thats pretty lame. I've never had that happen in another game and I've been playing console RPGs for about 25 years. It's a real complaint, it's a serious bug issue, get over it.

    BTW why do the fan-trolls like licking Lion anus so much? Do you think they are going to give you  a  job or a hug or something? We all are consumers, we have a right to expect products that meet our standards and we will vote with our dollars if they don't. Whats the point of pretending that a major glitch isn't major, I mean do you really think the  devs sit around reading posts, crying when they see complaints and waiting winsomely for obsequecious  posts to restore their spirits? C'mon, these guys are pros and can take constructive criticism, They don't need to be babied.

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    What happens if I start off as a kid and join my friends game (note he has already beaten the game and owns almost all of Albion)  Will I still be able to bring back all that money and experience as a child and carry that into adulthood?

    I had this happen to me. But it was with my G o o d [Good] character who already completed all the side-quests and main story, so now I have no quests left and a hero with no experience Sad [:(]

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    I'm just upset about losing my 50k renown. I already got back the EXP through a glitch and gold through massive real estate, but getting all that renown back seems impossible. Anyone have a solution other than starting over? :/

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    This sort of thing really does put you off, especially when the big draw of this game for me is couch co-op with my girlfriend, but as i understand it, as long as we play as already created characters and DONT start a new game then the glitch wont hit?

     

    Failing that.... Fallout 3 is out now Wink [;)]

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    This glitch happened to my friend when he joined his sisters childhood game, he was so pissy about everything for a while but got over it and just trained for a while, glitched some gold and earned all his renown back and he's almost back to how he was when it wiped his profile.Smily [:)]

    But i think you shouldn't be too bothered by it just redo everything or make a new profile. The game is so amazing it's not boring to do another profile. Yes its an inconvenience to redo everything but there are easy ways to get back your exp and money (without glitching if you want) Smily [:)]

    I don't think i'd get all pissy if it happened to me - i'd just do another account or something i might just join my friends and just play with them to get exp back.Smily [:)]

    And to those who are bothered really badly by this glitch: then **** off and get another game without glitches or just accept Fable 2 is an amazing game but has a few problems and get over it!! Smily [:)]Big Smile [:D]Up [:up:]

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    iBeej:
    This post is directed to Lionhead Studios and all of my fellow players who need to be aware of this bug so it doesn't happen to you.  I need to state clearly, I have tried this on LOCAL coop with the game patched to the latest.  I have not tried this on online coop yet.  But I assume it will yield the same results.

    And again, I apologize if this has been mentioned before.  There isn't a bug report forum so I have no idea what has been posted in terms of this problem.

    It's simple.  My brother stopped by for a visit last night and loaded up his own XBOX Live profile, while I loaded mine.  He created a NEW Fable II game, and I joined his game with my existing character.  I had lots of spells, thousands of gold and experience.  Well it appears the game initializes at some point during the child experience and it erases your gold, experience and all of your abilities.  0.  Zip.  Nada.

    Upon testing coop play when both games were already in Hero phase, the game worked correctly and each player had their own experience and abilities. 

    Lionhead, you need to fix this, because i'm sure people would like to jump in with their characters to help out noobie friends, and they are going to be pissed when all their hard work was completely wiped.  There is no getting it back either.  You just take a total loss.

    The work around for now is... if you have a player who is just starting out, do not join their game until they are least out on their own and heading for Browerstone.  I would also like to get some confirmation on this bug just to make sure i'm not missing something to duplicate this.

    Thanks for your time, and I hope I save some of you the headache of this in the future.

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    I lost everything too.  Sad [:(]  Also my reknown dropped to zip.  But TY for Lionhead replying to this, and hopefully a patch is created soon.

    This is true, now not only did everything I have get wiped out, but it seems now I will have to start over to get rid of this audio glitch too?

    It is already horrible enough that I lost everything, but at least there are exp and gold exploits to get them back, though I'm still not sure what to do about all the renown.

     

    Lionhead, is there any way to get the audio back on the ability screens? 

     

    And are there anymore side effects from this bug that we should know about?

     

    This is a great game, I actually stopped playing Fallout 3 for it, but I need to know: Does this bug cause irrevocable damage to your save?  I would hate to grind for hours to get everything back, only to find out that some other things were lost/broken and I'd need to start completely over...

    yeah this has just happened to me but i didnt lose any money or my houses which i had bought! just all my skills and XP!

    my way round this was to spend on XP spells to try and claw my skills back to at least something like it was before!

    and yeah i was p**sed big time but i am glad that the devs read this and know its a problem!

    thanks! Smily [:)]

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    What do you mean this isn't fixable. Of course this is fixable. They keep all of it in the stupid logbook. Except for the people that have traded back abilities, they should be able to just give back the xp and renown from the logbook. The rest can be gotten back from rents and profits. Using glitches to fix glitches isn't a rational expectation, either. If that's the case, they should just let us modify the file at will. As for the twits who think that everyone who is upset should just not buy Lionhead products, has it occurred to you that such a response will end Lionhead, and you won't get to play Fable 3? It's clearly occurred to Lionhead, because you can only find out about this bug if you create a login to access the forums. Knowing that there were so many bugs, the least they could have done was send a message to Live accounts of KNOWN bugs.

    Re: MAJOR BUG: Co-op can WIPE your character experience, gold and abilities!!

    To attempt to avoid this glitch, I'm beginning a new character, taking him through childhood to Bowerstone, THEN getting into a co-op game with my friend.

    By the way, in most explanations of the glitch, it seems to always be the henchman who returns to their game to find their character wiped clean. Are there any instances where the host character is affected?
