Perhaps this should be on the Fable 2 board...but after the recent update Fable 2 has been hard-crashing my system. Anyone who has played Fable 2 is probably aware that this game has annoying constant loads from the all too audible disc drive. I am now installing the game to my extremely limited space original 20gb harddrive. My two-week old 360's (oh I had an early build of the console, its in Texas right now being repaired) disc drive apparently couldn't handle the sporadic loads from the drive?! Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this issue?

If you were wondering why I bought a new 360 instead of wait for the repair, i blame gears of war 2. My 360 died the day before the launch. Just couldn't miss that games launch.

I installed Fable 2 on my hard drive and have not experienced one bug glitch or hiccup in the game at all. And its one of the few games where installing reduces load times dramatically. So actually I've had the opposite of your experience since the update, maybe it was just your Xbox.

I had that same problem. My 360 broke, I gave the game to my friend and his 360 broke. If mine breaks again, Peter Moleneux is going to personally buy me an Xbox 360 Elite and a years supsription to Xbox Live.

I am serious. Really. I am.

Let me clarify a little...I installed Fable 2 to the hard-drive AFTER I noticed the disc drive's sporadic loading which was causing my xbox to crash. Since installing to the hard-drive I have also had no problems and have enjoyed the significantly shorter load times. Unfortunately installing Fable 2 has left me with only 2gb left on my paltry 20gb drive. Off to Bestbuy to purchase a 120gb HD tomorrow I guess! And a follow up, has anyone experienced a fatal loss of data when transfering saves/etc to the new hard-drive? I have at least 1000 hours on my Oblivion character, I don't think I could deal with loosing that game save!

What are you talking about? Ever sincethe new dashboard I've had a tonne of problems with the game, even when it's copied to my hard drive!

For starters, Bowerstone old town and bloodstone have awful frame rates and I can't interact with any characters in game, they dont' do anything when I press A or do an expression.

 

It's gone horribly wrong!

Got a similar problem....but Fable only crashes when running it in Co-op mode. By crash I mean that the "loading new area screen" locks up and you have to restart the console.

I bought Fable 2 - downloaded the update and started playing the game. It kept freezing - So I just thought it was the game itself... So today I took it back to the store and got a new one. Again, I started to play it and it froze a couple more times, in the end - I just gave up with Fable and attempted to go back to an older game 'SDvR09' and that froze during gameplay. - Anybody think it's the update?
