I'm also having this problem...

*Spoiler*

And my kid's been kidnapped, it's saying I need to talk to my wife, but 'lo and behold, I can't find her anywhere./

Seriously... Lionhead... when you make a game, it doesn't matter if some features don't make it in the final version: Just be sure to get the included content to *ACTUALLY WORK*... I don't want to pay $120 NZD for something as buggy as this. :/

this game has a really complex AI and the problem is ur wife was probably trying to folo u. When NPC's try to find you they sometimes get lost cuz it's like the stupid golden breadcrum trail or w/e the hell it's called its messed up

Don't know about the dissipearing but I've notice Alex is a sprinter and when I come into bowerstone where the home is shes doing laps around the clock tower(which is her favorite area) and that she can as you say teleport when you scare here since she was deeper in a house and I scared her and found her back in our family house.

I really hope you find your digital husbands and wifes and that it doesn't happen to any others.

I married alex just before i went to the spire. i did 2 quests before. 1st i did cold comfort farmer. then i did the temple of light quest to defeat the shadows. then i went to the spire. after returning i visited hammer in rookridge, talked to the ghost to finish the quest (i haven't talked to him before i went to the spire). set alex as target and travel. it says to travel to cemetery road because that's the closest, but i can't travel to cemetery road via that menu so i just selected regions, old town, cemetery road. then i went to old town where my wife and daughter live. they live in the house just next to the shack (it's now beehives) where i and rose lived 20 years ago before she got shot. but when i arrived there is no golden trail leading to my wife. instead it leads back to rookridge and says talk to the gost but i already talked to him. i went to the house, opened the door and my daughter came running downstairs. but no alex. i looked upstairs and everywhere in old town. but she is nowhere to see. anybody an idea where to find her? no for sure otherwise this thread wasn't here. lionhead DO SOMETHING!!! but blame microsoft. they insisted to release fable 2 earlier then it was planned. that's why it is full with bugs. EDIT: also i just gave her one ring.

All right. I've had 2 /pure playthroughs, and I married with alex in both of them. She dissapeared with my wife in both save games. So, next time, sacrifice some points because this woman, she is a ***.
Then, i've had a family emergency, and, lol, my kid was standing in my front! And, my wife glitched, and i thinked a WTF. I now have a new life at reavers mansion in bloodstone being a being

comptonulf — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:54:07 GMT

ok look this missing wife and or second kid is a huge problem for me! i have beaten the game about 5 or 6 times, the first 2 times i beat it i was useing my brothers xbox and game that was conecting to live and had no problems (mainly becouse i stayed away from the homestead house i oakfield and wasnt stupid enouph to give my wife a second ring) i married a barmaid (that i called Yvain) in oakfield and chose the house conected to the sculpter all three times had a boy (wich i named todd jr, after me) and keped him and my wife happy.. then after the spire quest came home to meat my little pirate son and his barmaid mother.. i had a daughter (wich i named freyja after the norse goddess of fertility) and every thing went as it was supose to, i beat the game and moved my family into castle fairfax and had another son (wich i named beowulf) and every thing was just fine bolth times i beat the game...

then my brother moved and took his xbox with him, so i bougt my own xbox and my own coppy of fable 2 this is were i started having problems on my new profile (not on xbox live) i wanted to beat the game much like i did before becouse it was an awsome storyline that way, so i played up untill i got to oakfield, then i found a gypsy from bower lake (i named her Yvain agan) and married her in the same house next to the sculpter in oakfield ( i wanted to marry the sculpter but it wouldnt let me) and had a daughter ( freyja ) wich i was happy with so i went on to recrute hammer the hero of stength and went to the spire for ten years, and when i came back little freyja was grown so i knocked up my wife Yvain agan and she poped out a son (todd jr) and i was happy and went on some more quests, when i came back to oakfield to check on my family ( befor going to bloodstone) i was suprised to find that my son was black and that was ok i just had to change his name to Freyr (after the norse god), so i went to bloodstone to find reaver and beat the main quest.. this is were the glitch comes in, i came back to oakfield after choosing love and my wife was gone and only my two kids were at the house happy to see me and jumping for joy.. so i reloaded and tried it agan but when i came back only little freyja was there and i couldnt complete the retribution quest so i was pissed as hel.. and started a new game this time i chose a barmaid from oakfield to be yvain and moved into the same house and had a son, when i came back after the spire for the reunion my son was even darker skinned than the the son i had on the previose profile so i knocked my wife up agan and had a daughter.. so i went on to beat the game agan and this time was able to find my wife and my black son but my daughter freyja was gone, so i did the rescue mission and got my son home safe. so then i had another daughter to try and remake freyja and was successfull, atlest wile she was a baby. i came back to find that she was a kid and still at my house with my black son and wife but there was no blue pacifier over her head and apairently wasnt my daughter any more, so i reloded and came back to my house and freyja wasnt only not my daughter but had completly disapeared.. then i figued the house i was living in couldnt suport 2 kids, so i moved to bowerstone old town in the house of hard knocks and tried to remake freyja and did so, but i left to buy a cupple houses to rent out. and when i came back to the house of hard knocks my wife and son were there but freyja was still in her crib once agan with out a blue pacifier over her head and it said in the pause menu that she wasnt my daughter.. but she was still in the the crib at my house, this confused me to no end. so i reloaded and retured to the house of hard knocks this time not only was freyja and her crib gone but my wife had vanished as well, so i went on the internet and looked for some "fixes" to my problem and found a bunch. i tried all of them and nothing worked.. now at this point i was about mad enouph to stragle a baby seal with my bare hands. and i didnt touch the game for about a month

then one day i was having fable withdralls and started a new game, being extreamly careful as to avoid this glitch.. i married a barmaid from oakfeild ( i wanted a gypsy but i read somewere that gypsys almost always disapear) moved in to the same sculpter house and had a son, i came back from the spire and my wife and son were still there ( but my son was black agan wich didnt bother me, but did confuse me) so i went on to beat the game and did the rescue mission with no problems, so i moved my family to castle fairfax and had a daughter wich later disapeared agan so i quickly moved my family to reavers old house in bloodstone before my wife disapeared and i couldnt use castle fairfax as the home for my next family, so i moved to bloodstone and soon after as i had anticipated my wife vanished leaving my black son in the giant house all by himself, wich was my plan.. becouse i figure that u cant move your family to another region than she lived before she met you or she will disapear, so what i did is i went to fairfax garden and married a rich aristocratic chick and set castle fairfax as our home had a son (who was white so i named him little sparrow) and after he was grown had a daughter (who i named freyja once agan).. i left to buy some houses to rent out then came back to castle fairfax and my son and daughter were fine but freyja was once agan missing.. so determined to beat this STUPID GLITCH i knocked my prissy wife up agan and remade freyja but this time before i left the castle i showered freyja with expencive gifts and did a bunch of expreshoins for her, i also slept in the regal bed for a week, after that i left to buy some more property ( im trying to become the king). and when i came back i expected my family to be plagued by this famouse glitch, i found my family intact and little freyja were i left her in here little crib so i saved and quit then went online to post this long ass bullitin.. so after im done writing this i'll go load my last game and see if my family is still there (i hope to Odin they are, if not i'm gana blow a mager fuse.. and send a complaint strait to lion head)...

so final samation, to avoid this problem dont move your family to a region that your wife/husband didnt grow up... or connect to xbox live and start a new character doing the same things u did in your last game when you werent on live to see if it fixes the glitch completely i hope this helps some of you who are as frusterated about this glitch as me, i have as you can see done alot of research in to this glitch and these are the best solutions i'v found

I came back to see if the missing spouse problem had been fixed or if there was a workaround yet, as it's been months since I last touched this game. I'm really disappointed to see that there's not. This stopped me and so many others from being able to complete the main game and the only answer is to start another game or never turn in that quest. Ugh.

I have a wife in Fable 2, Lady Grey, and I have a child. My child grew into a boy and tried to become an adventurer like me. Therefore he got lost in the hobbe cave and I saved him. My wife showed up and thanked me and took my son Jack back to our Castle, Castle Fairfax. I realized my wife "wanted s**" so I went to please her, lol, but when I "teleported" to the throne room I end up walking outside my castle and walking to the east near the tiny box like building and I can only see my son and not my wife. Where the heck is my wife. I've tried different things such as sleeping in my marital bed for 7 days and stuff but nuthing seems to work. Could I get some help please? this is very frustrating.

My son also makes statements such as "you're home!" and stuff, but he isnt even at home he is outside all the time in the same spot which makes absolutely no sense to me.

whitemonkee — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 09:57:15 GMT

Yeah, same happened to me, bit of a bummer.
I had a Wife, moved to fairfax, had a Son, and I spent around 30000 gold on gifts for him. I was to busy giving him stuff to realise my wife had disappeared. So while I was getting a ton side points for giving my son stuff (to get rid of those freekin annoying horns!) I had a look at some quests, and Civilian Displacement was up. So ofcourse I went on it, and when I finished it, I had a new quest! 'The Rescue.' I read the description, and ofcourse went on it, and when I was in fairfax gardens no gold line! I searched practicly everywhere in the castle in kitchen, bedroom, libary, study. Nowhere! I have a suspicion she is behind a pair of gates I cant open, or Inside the purply demon door thing (have opened all Demon Doors) but as I was sleeping in my regal bed, I noticed a pair of legs hanging from the celing. I turned safety of and shot them, and heard my wife scream, but I couldn't kill her! So i'm practicly screwed, and I can't sleep in the bed there, cuz a hobo is in my house, and I can't get rid of him! He gives me a quest whenever I go near him, something a bout the crucible. And he's right infront of my bed! So, any sugestions on how the hell I get rid of the Hobo, or get my wife out the cuz if you do PLEASE tell me, I'm forced to live in Garth's old house at the moment, and I'ts pretty boring.
