Warning: Fable 2 has a game stopping glitch. Read how to prevent it

Warning to those who own Fable 2, there is a game-stopping glitch that will prevent you from making progress in the storyline!

The game’s developer, Lionhead is aware of the glitch and has posted this solution on their forums:

“We are aware that a minority of people playing Fable II over the last few days have encountered an issue where the Abbot becomes unresponsive at the beginning of Monks Quest in Oakfield. This is an isolated issue, but we are currently looking into it as a matter of priority. If you have already encountered this issue, there is unfortunately no work-around at this time, but we will keep you updated on any progress made.

If you want to avoid this issue, when you go to the Abbot for the first time don’t run away and leave the region after he has started talking to you. Listen to him, let him finish his cut-scene, and then you are free to do what you wish.

Some things slip through the net during development, especially when a game is the size and scope of Fable II. Again, we can only apologize for this issue, but we are doing our best. We might be silent on these boards, but we are watching and listening to you, the community, and are looking into all serious issues that are bought to our attention.”

Let’s hope this glitch gets patched soon!

I think I have another game breaking glitch as well. I’m in the Hero’s Guild Cave to start the Hero of Skill test and I get about 3-5 lines into the scene and it wouldn’t go any further, this happened after I took the archelalogist quest and my dog glicthed out and wouldn’t move unless I left Old Towne in Bowerstone. Tried to reload and the same thing happens and I can’t purchase shops or view property info

Dang that sucks KB. Do you have any idea why your dog started glitching at that time? Maybe you did something specific, that could help prevent others from getting the same glitch.

I had my dog now unresponsive a few times, both seemingly at random. I find that if I use the “fetch” expression, the dog just reappears a few seconds after the expression ends.

I’ve also encountered a glitch where my dog will find a dig spot, and the “dig spot” icon will appear above his head. Sometimes, when this icon is above his head and I get attacked, the icon will remain even after I dig the treasure up. The fetch expression also fixes this bug.

Hope this helps someone.

I found that when my dog finds a dig spot and the icon appears above his head…i am NOT able to dig up the treasure…this is a mess cause now I can’t get Luciens Diary out of the ground.

I am in the quest with hammer going to the guanlet. I have gotten to the bandit camp and cleared it but continueing on my way the screen turned black and I can’t continue. I can restart the game and everything works fine till I try to continue and the screen goes black and I can’t do anything. Any ideas would be appreciated
