Re: free roam is really annoying

It sounds like you've extracted the files to the wrong directory, make sure your tng's/lev's are in this folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters\data\Levels\FinalAlbion

I'm not at my computer right now but that should be right. The underlined part is the important bit, the part before is just your fable directory and may vary.

And it definately has nothing to do with your saves, you can load any save and play with freeroam.

It shouldn't matter where the extracted files are. FinalAlbion.Wad would still be there and his game would still work. He said "it won't let me play" which means their fable isn't working at ALL.

I was assuming he'd renamed/removed the wad file, as required.

Re: free roam is really annoying

Isn't there a file you have to change something from TRUE; to FALSE;...?

Yeah, you're supposed to change useWAdfile=TRUE to useWADfile=FALSE, or something to that effect in userst.ini in the fable directory. But I never did and it works fine for me, I just renamed FinalAlbion.wad

Ditto I never went in and changed that stuff, it just automatically worked as soon as I renamed Finalalbion.wad.

Same here, I just renamed mine to FinalAlbion2.wad and the game ran normally. Only with the modifications I made to chests, lol. :D

Extraction location has been the problem in every case so far so you're probably right on

There should be a folder there called FinalAlbion if you did the extraction right. There should also be a FinalAlbion.wad unless you moved it.

This is what it should look like:



Notice MY finalAlbion.wad is renamed

Re: free roam is really annoying

It should work now. If it doesn't you should try

go to the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters and open userst.ini and change
UseLevelWAD True;-->UseLevelWAD False;*
15. Save and close this file and run Fable

FinalAlbion.wad

according to the second picture, everything was as it's supposed to be. I don't understand why you needed to uninstall :unsure:

Rename FinalAlbion.wad to something else. As we've stated three times over. or move it someplace else. DO NOT DELETE IT
