The “Break it Down” Blog

Lionhead has posted a news update on their blog that the long-awaited Fable 2 patch that was suppose to grace Xbox Live in October, is finally nearing completion.

While this patch focuses mostly on game-stopping glitches in missions, there is an ambiguous “Additional unspecified fixes” in the fix notes. I currently have a friend that has completed the main quest, levelled his character up quite a bit and liberated most of the game of it’s missions and he complains about insanely long load times.

He did mention that if he tries to bring up his inventory, 1 out of 4 or 5 times it will lock up his Xbox and the other times it will take a long time before coming up. Let’s hope some of those unspecified fixes include core gameplay mechanics as well.

Here’s the full changelog:

Patch time is coming, to town! Ok I admit, that was pretty bad… We haven’t forgotten about the patch that was promised a while ago, the team sends word that the update is coming along nicely. These are some of the fixed issues that come up the most on our forums or email but by no means is it a complete one. The update is currently being tested and finalized, so for those (few) of you having trouble, we’re listening to you.
