Technical Help with Fable II and / or Xbox360

Sam — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:28:44 GMT

If you experience problems with your game or have technical issues with your Xbox360 please read the following before emailing us. Feel free to post about it on the forums and other members could offer a solution or work-around way to your problem if one is known. The title update (details here) also deals with a variety of problems and fixes them.

If you are missing DLC codes in your Fable II Collectors Edition please read the following: all that we here at Lionhead can do really is tell you what we are being told. Which is to contact Microsoft. If you're from the USA and there was no code included in the retail version of your collector's edition please call the following number: 1-800-4MY-XBOX.

For all other inquiries please contact visit http://www.xbox.com/support and for contact details please visit http://www.xbox.com/support/contact.

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.

My game has glitched :(

salemdoom — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:44:32 GMT

I was playing with a friend last night, and I asked the bard to sing a song for me, he didn't and now the prompt for the bard to sing a song is stuck on the screen, if I hold down a to accept it does nothing.

I have tried to leave the area, and it will not let me as it reads *scene must end first* (or something like that) I cant even fast travel, or sleep, it wont let me do anything.

Please help, as I have been playing this save for ages, and have been helping people out with some of the harder achievements with it too.

I cant load my save file

I have a Fable 2 GOTY edition that i bought recently i have completed everything on one of the charachters that i made and now it seems that I'am not able to load this file all that is happening when i attempt to load the file is that the load screen freezes. i tried to download the game CD to my hard drive but the result was the same. i wonder if that this is a problem that can be solved.

My child has stopped responding.

For some reason, my child who is female, has stopped respinding... to anything. Expressions, gifts, fear, ugliness.. everything. She was 'working' just fine until now. What is the problem? =\ This makes me quite sad.

BUG LIST - Updating

dttuner — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:53:41 GMT

I will continuously update this thread with any/every bug I find throughout the game, in order to help Lionhead studios provide us with updates and fixes.
FYI - I love this game, and will most likely play it through at least 2-3 times.

1) Furniture Bug - Purchased a home, and went into "interior decorating" mode (or whatever its called). Went inside and just pointed at a few things, and clicked A to see what would happen. Decided not to change anything, and left the house. Since then, I've had the message at the top of the screen "Take this item to the furniture store,..etc.etc."
Even after exiting, and reloading my game! Turned it off last night in frustration. We'll see what I encounter when I return home from work tonight.

2) Graphical Bugs - Lakes extending into the air, Dog appearing to dematerialize, Skin/Face having patches of silver or grey...etc. This is one of the biggest detractions from the story and essence whichs makes Fable2 a great game.

3) Unable to Cast more than one Level 2 Spell - This is a design issue. Please, Will/Casting has always been my favorite part of any RPG. Don't detract from this feature by only allowing us to upgrade and cast one level 2 spell at any given time, without having to enter a menu.

...will keep you updated with more.
Thanks

Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

AndoWilliams — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 22:41:32 GMT

I noticed a lot of people keep asking about how they can unlock the chest lied next to the Cullis Gate in Heroes' Guild's Chamber of Fate. Here are some facts and suggestions I can give you:

1. According to Sam the Lionhead CommMaster (the nice one who give you free Pub Games codes), the chest is the only place where you can obtain both your Limited Collector's Edition Bonus Contents (assuming you've downloaded it) and your The Hero's Tales rewards (assuming you've won any). Once the chest opened - either because you obtain the Bonus Content or your reward - you will never be able to re-open it again. E.G. if you opened the chest to get your Bonus Content (prior to win any The Hero's Tales reward), once you get your The Hero's Tales rewards you're not going to be able to obtain them in the same way you obtained your Bonus Content, and vice versa.

2. The only way to obtain both downloaded Bonus Content and your redeemed web rewards from The Hero's Tales (for now) is to start a new game with new Hero. Also you have to make sure you have both Bonus Content and your web rewards downloaded first (unlike the Bonus Content, your web rewards are automatically downloaded if you start the game - loading the game, not literally start a new game with new Hero - while still connected to LIVE with your game profile) before you start a new game.

3. You can get the Bonus Content by redeeming the code the game provides you one (assuming you have one) in the Bonus Content Card. Tear the Subscription Code cover to reveal the 25-characters code, enter the code by sign-in to LIVE, then go to Marketplace and select Redeem Code. Once you get the Bonus Content downloaded, it will always "be there" in you harddrive. As long as you don't delete it, the Bonus Content will always be available to any Hero(es) upon starting a new game, or your current Hero(es) if you still have the chest intact (closed), so there is NO NEED to re-download the content again.

4. To get web rewards (like an expression book and a set of suit, among others), go to Fable II Experience web page by clicking HERE. Make sure you have Flash plugin installed for your favorite web browser. To redeem any reward, once you win any the game will ask whether you want to redeem your reward or play the game again. Click Redeem Your Reward to open a page where you can sign-in with your LIVE profile (if you haven't sign-in prior to playing the game). Once you have your redeemed The Hero's Tales rewards downloaded (it's not listed in your harddrive contents, but it's "there"), the same thing happened to Bonus Content goes here too: there is NO NEED to re-download anything. Your rewards will be (and always be) available to your new Heroes (upon starting a new game) or your current Heroes (as long as you haven't open the chest yet). Also the rewards you won in The Hero's Tales can be downloaded and available for Fable II regardless of edition, be it standard one or Limited Collector's Edition.

5. No funny stuff! For those who happened to buy Fable II standard edition (not the Limited Collector's Edition), there is NO WAY you can get the Bonus Content from the chest, no matter how much you fancy it. You can still obtain your redeemed web rewards, but opening the chest to get your web rewards doesn't mean you will also HAVE the Bonus Content. Those are two different kind of contents, mind you. Hope this helps.

Archon's Knot Expression Statue Glitch. Help Plz

Taisen11 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:44:32 GMT

The Expression Statue in Archon's Knot is broken. IT HAS NO MASK AND GIVES NO EXPRESSION. It just stands straight up and has its arms at its sides. I have tried reloading the game, resetting the X360, and trying every single expression i have, even the one needed to defeat the statue. (bloodlust roar) Because of this, I cant get my last silver key, get the Daichi katana or even leave the dungeon without warping somewhere else. I stepped on the switch to activate the statue and when i returned is when it started happening. Can anyone help me?

RubberNic — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:04:42 GMT

I've been there for Cold Comfort Farmer and Blind Date, but it never gets added to my map, and I always have to walk there from Bower Lake Road. This has happened on all of my files. Is there any way to fix this glitch?
