Crash to Desktop during the Quest "Blindness"

[THEfog]

Hey Guys!

*Possible Spoilers*
when the quest "Blindness" begins and you have to walk up those temple with "old-man-no-eyes" Walter, you get to the point where you choose whether or not to take him with you, directly after making the choice to save him you have to then guide him down the glowing trail at which point im assuming a cut-scene is meant to occur and BAMM! crash to desktop with the error Fable3.exe has stopped working.

Ive tried all the obvious fixs such as re-installing the game, updating drivers, lowering the settings, removing any overclock, cleanboot, fixing the save files and re-creating another fable save account but none of these appear to work. Ive also ran checks on my CPU, GPU, RAM and HDD only to discover that i have a perfectly healthy system. The game has otherwise been very stable and quick up to this point and i have been able to run everything maxed out at 60FPS (the nvidia control panel hack, tried removing this too).

Im not to sure what else i can do and i would really appreciate any feedback whatsoever. Thanks Guys!

System Specs:
Intel Q8400 @3.2Ghz
Nvidia 560ti GTX SoC
Kingston 8GB DDR2 800 @900Mhz

Alright so i have tried just about everything on that page and the only noticable change that occured was that when i ran it in compatibility mode it changed the location of my save games to make it a challenge hahahaha was quite interesting trying to figure out how to get it to recognize my save games again lol.

Im just rather stumped at this point on what could be causing it, perhaps a missing resource that wasn't copied off the disk?

Well i went and bought myself another copy of the game thinking it was the disk that could be the catalyst behind this issue, completed a complete re-install of the program (Not a repair install) and it still crashes at that point. I sent a support ticket to lionhead roughly 4 days ago now and i still haven't recieved a reply, i personally think they just dont care.

Alright i finally fixed it, now for future reference to anybody else who is getting this issue. Its caused by an out of date version of GFWL Remover By TimeSlip (Specifically v0.8), a modification created to remove the ever so annoying GFWL pop-ups and the likes of. Simply going to his download Page and grabbing the newest version (Version v0.9b) will fix the crashing, i will link it below. Many thanks to TimeSlip for the updated version.
