I like Fable 2 its an amazing game but I have to admit it has way too many glitches and I think that the creators should start fixing these problems, I added this topic so ANY players who wish to report Fable 2 glitches please feel free to do so here. Before I list some of which I know i'd like to say that this is my first post and I got so fed up with the glitches that I had to do something about it... Anyway heres Glitches that I encountered:

Castle Fairfax- No matter which woman I marry if I make Castle Fairfax my martial home my wife disappears.

Bounty Hunter- I was sent to kill off hobbes in Bowerstone Market and when I arrive their they are no where to be found, But the Criminals Remaining bar is still at the bottom of my screen

Bard In Bowerstone- I can purchase a song from the bard in bowerstone but I cant see him.

Lady Grey- I married Lady Grey on my earlier Fable character and made Fairfax Castle our martial home, afterwards she couldnt be found, some players told me thgat she gets stuck in a guard post and cant come out.

Jumping Off Fairfax Castle- I can actually jump off of fairfax castle when I make the highest amount of people follow me to the castle view spot near Luciens old study room.

Dog Turns Plain- My dog is Gold like a labrador but in some cases when im traveling he just turns back into his old form that he is at the beginning of the game.

NOTE: I have the Xbox 360 Version

I agree Fable 2 is a fantastic game but after many hours of gameplay and owning nearly every property available to me I am now stuck on the 'Blind Date Quest' like many thousands of others that get the black screen of death. I am absolutely bewildered as to how this was not picked up during testing.....or was it and was released anyway. Unfortunatley I played the side quests as I went so I haven't even got to the hero of skill yet so there is much gameplay left for me which I cannot play. Please Lionhead get your fingers out of your A***'s and let us know whether or not you can actually fix this or should we all retunr our games to where we got them?

was unable to complete "the rescue" quest as wife didnt follow and wasnt waiting at end of the quest. Unable to leave area without losing quest progress. Treied returning home to get wife to follow this didnt work.

Tried spaming other quests see if iy would make things work again only to find after completeing the crucible again i was thrown out before opening a chest, told i had failed "the rescue" quest then my character rooted to the floor, unable to move or interact with anything. can move from place to play using the region selection part but that is all.

I find the lack of support for this game absolutley disgusting. to an extent bugs can be forgiven if they are fixed. Ignoring the customer on the other hand is unforgivable.

Check your books folks, the only phone number for "support" is the number for xbox support and they just are not interested in helping me. So I then try this forum posting in the bug section to again be ignored.

Thanks Lionhead, I bought many of your games over the years, guess Fable 2 will have to be the last.

I got a glitch when i went to Bloodstone. It slowed completely don and i couldn't start the T.O.B.Y. quest. I tried to do the "Rescue Charlie" quest also and got the green ring of death and couldn't start the quest.

Lionhead said that starting a new game could fix these glitches. I started it and it was fine but i didn't get to that point as I went to return it and got D May Cry 3 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

Does everyone get this glitch? or is there somebody that gets lucky?

I got the same thing with the lady Grey thing where she gets stuck in the guard post.

After acquiring Lady Grey's Upper Torso, I cannot enter Fairfax Gardens or the Bandit Coast. It just keeps looping on the load screen. Very frustrating. Is there any know way to fix this... such as completing a quest or saving differently?

Hello,

i'm trapped in the mission of Cofry, after sleep at the top of the castle. I've kill every hobbe from the path of the left, in the path of the right I've also kill every hobbe and other enemies but the treasure don't open, although the signal for open with A button is displayed. Also the bodies of the enemies in this area don't disapear. And the brighty path points always to a random edge of the entire map that is inaccesible.

I tried to join to another friend game for quit this mission because I cannot quit from the menu but allways said I cannot join, and there's no other players displayed for try to join to their game.

Thanks for reading, and sorry for my english. I hope that the mayor bugs or glitch will be solved.
Thanks for this fantastic game

I had the Bunty Hunter glitch but it was with bugs in Bowerstone Market. The golden trail lead no-where and I entered the area where the bugs were supposed to be and the number that were supposed to be there came up but, no bugs and when I switched quests the number wouldn't go away. The only way I found to get rid of it was to kill the guard I got the quest from :/

I have a really annoying glitch where my child wont move and talk to me. I had her set to follow me but I forgot children carn't follow you out of an area so, the game made her stay there. I went back later and I found her in a corner of a shop, not moving or anything.

I also can't set the HomeStead house as my martial home. I did it once before but the familly started moaning that they didn't like the area so I moved them to BowerStone and now trying to move them back to HomeStead doesn't work. I even tried with another husband but no luck so now I have a house that does nothing. Random people also keep walking around the house and I don't know how or why but I'm pretty sure there not ment to be there. I keep killing them but another one appears. 

I'm not sure if these are glitches but it's quite annoying. Upon completing the tasks the Temple of Light/Shadows to get the legendary weapons, the quest doesn't go away on mine while other people report that once they get the weapon, it goes.

Oh and theres no furniture in BowerStone. Got some from there once and now all they sell is a book.

My Xbox also keeps telling me the disc is unclean or strached when it's in perefect condidtion. It also won't load certain areas sometimes :/

My character was also once fully and pure and now its and pure and when ever I load up, my character has a halo above it's head until I leave the area.

i'm still pretty early on in the game. i'm having a HUGE problem with the game freezing, really frequently. my xbox 360 is new as well as the game, so is it more likely that the xbox is the problem?

also, in memory lane, i don't understand why the door of the house has the option to examine it, but nothing happens when you press "a".

as i come across more, i'm sure i'll be adding to my list. but on i play

 

 

i'm doing the temple of light quest. the monk keeps calling the person i'm supposed to be following his "son", but it's a girl....

well, i found some advice on a forum and cleared the cache, and downloaded the game to the hard drive. i can't play my original saved game, so i'm wondering if i had only downloaded and not cleared if i would have had the same improved results i'm having. oh well. so far the game isn't freezing and the frame rate is better.

in my menu, there is always an exclamation mark next to the word "clothing", even when i don't have anything new

If you download the DLC Knothold Island and start a new game, the first quest from the new DLC (The big freeze) will reapear after a while.

Sometimes after i've got some new clothes that " ! " mark will not go off.

When im going near a bard he will talk to me and i walk slowly. Fine, but sometimes that "slownes" will not go off after several seconds.

ok so heres some of my ideas...theis are not glitches......they are gameplay...remember when peter said that your choices will effect your hero??

well my first hero was and i did not get 1 glitch in the whole game...but on my new one im and now i cant take out my wepons in bloodstone......see the connections?

people have been saying that when they go to reaver with not enough fame that it glitches......its not glitch reaver just doesent think u are worthey even if u get more famous making the CHOICE of talking to him wen ur not famous EFFECTS your hero by not letting u COMPLETE the game....see? for every choice a consiquince.....bad choices like being ....leeds to bad things like glitches....rofl rofl rofl

finnally after an eternaty away from u all......JACK OF BLADES IS BACK!

 I download the long awaited patch and all seems to be .

I pay for the Knothole Island Premium and the very moment that I arrive on the Island, a new glitch prevents me from engaging anyone in the entire game with the left-trigger for status indication.

It is now impossible for me to see anyone’s name or access their preferences, nor can I rename anyone anymore. The “Y” button is literally only for pulling out my gun in town now.

I have no idea what to do.

***Update***

When I first arrived on Knothole Island, I couldn’t lock on to people with left-trigger. Originally, I didn’t think it was a big deal. I warped out of Knothole mid-quest to repurchase a quest-necessary item that I forgot to equip before heading to Knothole Island. Whatever this problem was with locking on to people in Knothole, it followed me back to Bowerstone, that’s when I became concerned.  Locking on to people was still completely useless upon my re-entrance to Knothole. At a loss, I just decided to finish the Deep Freeze quest through, without any ideas. When I completed the quest, all the controls were normal again. I still have no idea how this happened, but I’m obviously alright now. Thx.

 

since dl knothole ive lost a save that had the end of game character. now im using a different character and the game is freezing up at every turn. thats not choices made in the game....its glitchy, so much so that im contemplating deleting the download.  very frustrating....

I got the same thing with the lady Grey thing where she gets stuck in the guard post.

Stuck in the guard post? You mean those little guard shacks outside the castle, in the gardens? Just wondered, because the only way I could get her to reappear was to marry a second wife.  Only wish I'd found this thread before I'd left her alone for so long...  Anyway, they both divorced me within minutes.  No 'apologise' expression, no blackmail quest, just wham divorced as soon as I landed in Fairfax Garden.  (Kudos, LH for making Undead Lady Grey not only hotter than the original but invincible as well...)  And even though she's walking out the door, her stats still read Relationship: Happy; House: Happy; Upkeep: Very Happy.  Which of course makes me R: Confused, H: Happy, and U: Very Unhappy... 

The only fun I had with her was hitting her with 'Chaos' as she walks away, and then laugh while she scrubs the floor, clucks like a chicken, etc..

I'm almost done with the Love Hurts quest.  Basically I have Lady Grey's head in my inventory and the next objective is to give it to the keeper so he can bring her back to life, but when I go to the mansion, he's nowhere to be found.  Instead, he's hanging out by the locked gate with the reanimated Lady Grey!  Somehow, he put her back together on his own and left me with a quest that can't be completed!  Which, in turn, prevents me from buying the mansion, unlocking the new gate to gain access to the tomb which apparently contains a gargoyle, and that's the last one I need to complete the gargoyle quest!!!!!

 

L-A-M-E!

I agree it's a great game, but te glitches are really annoying!
Usually the biggest problem I have it characters will glitch and I wont be able to carry on the game and I have to start over, for instance when my child gets taken at the end of the game and I go to the cave to save them I cant ge past that part, the child wont move or do anything!
Also with the bartender job it wont let me do it, whenever I go to the sign and accept to do it the whole game just stops!
Ive got the Xbox 360 version too

- Kiira Rebecca ;;

I agree also..Whats worst if you click on child and your lover to follow you the child becomes disable when teleporting to a new home and stays that way for the entire game..Also to recuse the child quest is the same the child does not move once you exit the cave.So you cant finish the quest..I also have x box 360

Mod edit...

Well I'll be quick and honest. I loved this game, until I encountered my first glitch and learned of its magnitude online. I got the disappearing wife glitch and am going to attempt a few solutions but if they fail I honestly will not play this game anymore until a patch comes out fixing it now that I know the volume of problems this game has. I don't want to progress or attempt to progress only to have to start over.

When I was buying this game (a used copy) I was wondering how anyone could possibly return this game. Now I know. Fable 1 was absolutely stunning, and I thought Fable 2 was going to be even better; instead it has fallen well bellow expectations. Not because of the game itself but simple its coding (bug/glitch) problems and thinking I may end up returning this game as well.

It great that lionhead was able to put out a patch and fix some problems, great (pat on the back for them) BUT they are NOT done. Which they even said so themselves in that blog post. Why has there been no mention of any new patches especially this large spouse patch.

Again, same for me - one gargoyle missing. Please fix this.

1. If you have downloaded knothole island and start a new game, sometimes the first quest (the big freeze) will reapear.

2. If you slap a luteguy while playing he will have his lute in his one hand in a weird position when hes running or walking and not on his back.

3. the "!" mark can sometimes get stuck in the menu, tricking you that you have something new while you actualy dont.

4. If sleeping much in a row sometimes a huge framedrop occur for few seconds.

5. Hobbes that run in terror can get stuck inside a wall/rock and automatically die and the body will shake and jump all over the place in the air.

6. gamemasters and crycallers can sometimes duplicate in towns, leaving you with 2 of 'em in the same town.

7. Crycallers will sometimes call out miles and miles away from towns. Even in a non-town region.

8. the accept mark "A" will not appear sometimes if you accept/steal/open many times in a row.

9. If you have opened the demon door in fairfax gardens, you can stil hear him if you walk over it, before you enter the throne room.

10. Sometimes the mark/info over the people (left trigger) get stucked and will not remove it self from the screen.

11. If you having a full bear on ur hero and then having sideburns, the side hair will blink, even if you have the same colors on the hair.

12. Before entering a demon door, the accept mark will not appear sometimes, however, if you run around the area for like 20 sec then u can enter it.


Not only I have seen this bugs, but many others and its really annoying.
Why cant bugs and glitch be fixed soon?
Yeah the game are working, but even so, do you guys at LH think that you guys are done when the game at least are playable?
We are a huge group that suffering from many bugs, so PLEASE release a new patch allready..

Now i have a save file with defected luteplayers, a sound of a demon door before i entering my house, sideburns that blinks, 2 crycallers in bowerstone, hobbes that floating in the air, a quest in the questlog that i've actually have completed and "new" clothing...

Ok, I've noticed one new really odd glitch.
1. if you are a male and have a wife and kid somewhere in the game, after you enter the fairfax tomb and if you change your sex by taking the potion; Your previously known "wife" will now be called Husband and your child will start to call HER dad! she is still the same old person (a woman) but your child calls her dad and in all texts she is refered to as a husband. she still reacts like a woman though, you can't flirt her and get a positive reaction and you can't have sex.
