Issues unresolved
"Failed to contact key server" error on launch (Steam)
- A previous issue relating to Steam running out of keys for the game has now been resolved. The game remains unavailable to buy, but copies obtained via unused gifts or codes from third party retailers will now activate without issue.
- However, many people are still reporting that they're unable to use or activate the game's DLC. There has been no official response to this issue.
Some settings don't save
- Game Settings - Controls / Audio / Misc won't save for some users.
- Game Settings - Display are saved to
%APPDATA%\Lionhead Studios\Fable 3\VideoOptions.xml, which could mean it's possible to create .xml files for the other settings.
Other information
Bypass Games for Windows - LIVE
- A fake version of
xlive.dllcan allow you to play the single-player without having GFWL installed. - Benefits include faster loading and saving times, an increase in frame rate, and no out-of-place looking GFWL screens.
