Fable Fixes On The Way
Little more than a week after launch, Lionhead is already hard at work addressing bugs in Fable III. An update on the official website stated that the teams are aware of undisclosed issues with the game, and that fixes are on the way.
“Of course as with any videogame there are some people with technical issues,” relayed a Lionhead staffer. “That's bound to happen of course with a game the size of Fable, our poor testers worked flat out but if something slips through the nets, then don't panic!”
If you are having a problem, Lionhead has set up a reporting page where you can give a description of the issue to the development and community teams. Lionhead doesn’t have any concrete plans or an ETA for an update, but offers the below as advice.
“If you do experience a corrupt save game and there is no work around, then all I can personally recommend you do is start a new game and apologize for any stress this might cause. We really do feel for you if this happens!”
There have been rumblings from multiple sources of one particular bug that leaves the pivotal character Jasper mute or catatonic, the latter making it so you can’t interact with him at all.
Have you encountered any bugs? Or have you had a fairytale Fable experience?
