Fable TLC crashing on my PC
Hi all, first post here. I have Fable TLC for my PC.
PC specs:
1.8 GHz Celleron(single core)
1GB ram
Direct X 9.0c
NVIDIA GeForce 8400 512MB
The game installs fine, loads fine, plays fine for the most part. My problem is, it seems at random, that it hangs for a second, and then the graphics go insane. After that, it normally freezes my entire computer, though on occasion I can continue playing. When I can, some of the insanity I catch:
Keep in mind these are examples, and only a couple themes are recurrant.
The Guild Seal is replaced with the Hero's face map
Every letter is replaced with a simple white box
Textures go psychodelic (Trees in Bowerstone South go from green to neon rainbows)
Quick-bar icons are replaced with map icons(like the area exit icon)
Most of the time, even if I can continue to play/move/etc after the glitch, it still freezes up before I can quit. One time, I was able to save and quit(a trick since the menu was nothing but blocks without letters). The main menu was glitch-free, and when I quit, I had an error box stating some video driver had stopped responding, and I would need to reboot. I did, and nothing new happened, so I loaded my game back up, just to have the same problem after playing for a few seconds.
There is no pattern to when it glitches. Sometimes, I can play for 2-3 hours, sometimes 5 seconds.
I thought I may have had a virus/spyware/etc., so yesterday/today I wiped and reinstalled my entire computer from scratch. XP Home edition SP2, to SP3 with 2 extra "automatic updates" just to make sure nothing was left out. I reinstalled Fable, and got the hang/glitch/freeze when I got past the archery test, and was doing the second test for the crossbow. I drew my arrow, and that's where it froze.
Before I wiped my system, I was using the +24 Trainer by Hesperus, and modded the game with Fable Explorer to remove all the Old morphs. This game, I just did the "doesn't get old" mod.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
