Re: Help please im at wits end on this.
Hey there - I had multiple crashes, particularly at save points, but not exclusively. Sometimes it would simply exit out to windows at random. I also experienced the black screen with music playing, and the loss of text for no good reason. I nearly chucked the game to the curb (VERY frustrating!)..but found somethings that worked. Two things were recommended;
1) Lowering all of the graphics settings was highly recommended. I have no idea why, in that I have a newer card, more than capable of handling a slightly older game like this - but I did it anyway. A noticable difference in quality, but nothing horrific. You'd have to experiment with just how high you can get away with - I currently have all of my settings at there lowest out of desperation.
2) I heard rumors that it might not run with stability on a duo core processor. Again, no clue why. But start the game, alt+tab to jump out of it, ctrl+alt+del to get at 'fable.exe', then right click it, access 'affinity', and uncheck one of the processors (apparently doesn't matter which) - alt+tab back into the game.
I followed these two suggestions, and am now completely free of any crash. I've multiple hours and multiple saves into now, with complete success. Hope something here helps out. **** will drive you bats.
