Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

Patch is on the way...

CVG said:
Lionhead is to patch an exploit in Xbox Live Arcade game, Fable II Pub Games, which lets you wrack up in-game gold at lightning speed.

"If you are wondering about a 'much talked about' exploit, just ignore it (and know that a patch is on the way)," the developer said on its latest dev blog.

The bug in question involves a quick button tap that tricks the Fable gambling game into thinking you're betting high, when really you're only risking minimal cash.

Of course all the gold won in Pub Games can be transferred over to Fable II once it's released, so the fact that everyone's raking in illegal cash isn't good news. At least Lionhead's sorting it.

Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

its good there putting a patch on it , it could of spoiled fable 2.
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

but you have to think; how many people have already used the cheat.
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

Alot of people I am assuming. I just downloaded pub games, I suppose I had better play legit (and end up in debt).

Dont worry im rubbish at them too so far. :lol:
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

hmmm.... on one hand, im dissapointed to hear about a patch, but im also glad. i really only wanted the items. i liked the patch cuz it got me out of major debt, but its too tempting. i dont want it to ruin my gaming experience, like i did with oblivion. we all just gotta remember that the pub games are not the only way to rack in money. and even if you do get a huge debt, you just need to do comunity service (wich involves killing bandits) to pay it off. ah..... comunity service quests, this is gonna make it a lot easyer and fun to be evil. :devil:
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

man, i dont need no exploit! there are plenty of ways to get money in fable 2 anyway... every gold you get in the pub games is generally overkill... i occasionally play pub games, and when i do, i play tournaments and i have 60k... that alone is massive overkill
what is the point in using an exploit in pub games when it will be 10 times easier to make money in fable 2?
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

well it was fun while it lasted but I'm willing to install the patch now. i agree it could ruin the game and shorten it up quite a bit but i've cleared my debt and am going to give my character quite an inheritance of gold & items so I'm ok with it i'll feel better knowing ill have to work for my money instead of cheat to get it, plus ill value my property that much more. so although ill regret in the beginning of fable i'll feel better in the end.
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

I wouldn't worry about debt. Samsaid that you can just do some community service to pay it off ie go on a quest :w00t:
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

Yeah I'm not worried about debt I just want the items from pub games. And a decent amount of money would be good. I personally don't think it spoils the game. If you enjoy having lots of money from the start it hasn't really spoiled anything for you has it?
I think I will play offline (actually how DO you play offline?) just in case I am really bad and need to use the glitch.
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

It's possible that you won't be able to transfer the gold until you patch the game
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

Yeah I'm fine with that. I just want to build up some decent cash before I transfer it over. So do you just sign out of x-box live? I have an offline profile thing, do I use that? Will my online account still have the same save file? Or are they seperate?
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

WTF!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO, i havent gotten them yet!!! i was gunna use the money for a dummie porfile after i won, so i didnt have to spend so much time, sure it ruins games but it doesnt for me it makes it funner glitches are hella fun...this is gehy, just dont use the glitch if you dont wanna cheat stupid assholes
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

cheating isnt really nessisary. once you get the hang of it, you can start to get a decent amount of cash. really, using the pub games at all is kinda cheating. and like hook coast god said, pub game gold is overkill. there are gonna be plenty of ways to get gold in fable 2.
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

still, maybe there will be other glitches, its alot funner then working if yur playing a game or not its still the same also i have a life i cant spend all this time working when i kewd be chattg up hot bitches
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

oh there are always glitches to exploit. :D i like glitches as much as anyone, im just not to disapointed to hear about the patch. mostly cuz i already cheated my way to mass ritches. :devil:

edit: also, working isnt the only way to gain money. you can also rob people, steal from shops, be a woodsman, or even a pro assassin, as opposed to a blacksmith or carpender.
 
Re: Lionhead patches 'broken' Fable Pub Games

Well I'm just glad I got it before the patch. I have been playing offline so hopefully I will be able to keep the unpatched version till I get fable.
So far I have a 4 star rating, yay. I can't wait to get the 5 star prizes! Why does it have to take SO many points to get to 5 star? Anyone know the quickest way?

EDIT: TJ what is a woodsman? I thought that was a job like blacksmithing.

if you dont mind going into debt id say the fastest way to get gampler points is spinnerbox... simplest too you can just press a and do something else

I don't mind a little debt but I would rather not have too much. So is spinnerbox the quickest way? Or just the easyist way?

you get one point for every gold you bet, and every gold you win. so betting max would be the fastest way. betting max on spinnerbox would be way fast, if you dont mind losing a LOT of money.

and yes being a woodsman is a job, and so is being a theif or and assassin. but a woodsman is more............... woodsy. i guess. i dont know what exactly you do, but PM mentioned it amung jobs you can do to earn money. i assume it involes going out and doing stuff and would be more entertaining than a blacksmith. but blacksmithing would be more useful in my opinion, cuz i think if you get good enough you can make your own weapons. but i think you can also take multiple jobs.
