jinkaza1 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I got for christmas brand new a copy of fable 2. It was off thehut.com I had used them before and had no reason too doubt them. The first time I put it in (it was brand new by the way)after the section with the magic box thing it froze. I checked it for scratches and I found none. I continued playing and it seemed at random parts the game would freeze. I still have no scratches on it and it still is freezing. Because of this I have too save every few minutes too stop myself from losing data. It has now become so cumbersome and annoying that I do not play it anymore. It even turns out that some of my friends are having the same problems and even one that got it from a local shop brand new 2day had it happened too them. This has made me think that it might not just be me that is having this problem. Has anyone else had this problem, or could anyone please just offer suggestions?(before you ask I did clean it when it first started happening and there are no visable scratches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aston158 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yeh i would say save it too the HHD, also try playing on a different account on different save just to making sure you don't have a corrupt save file. Also your game could have foil damage being exposed to too much light which i don't is the case but can happen Good luck sorting it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tussell Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Mine freezes about every 45 minutes to an hour, but it always starts up again about 5-10 seconds later... That's about it. Are you sure you're giving the game enough time to set itself back up again? Or are you just getting impatient and resetting your Xbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinkaza1 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 thanks i'll try that. yes i do wait quite along time, I once went and had my tea and left it on and it was still frozen about half an hour later when i came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb The Sheep Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 This is a known problem and is all over the Lionhead Community Forums. They released an announcement the other day, which, I, and a lot of other people find ABSOLUTELY ridiculous: "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." 15% - a relatively small number? oh dear... Members have found that installing to HDD solves the problem, however in some cases, the problem still persists, and in these cases are being advised to contact Microsoft. Although that will probably end up in an endless loop: Microsoft <---> Lionhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
