Issues unresolved
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.
Issues fixed
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set highest refresh rate in fullscreen[citation needed] |

Other information
Bypass Games for Windows - LIVE
- A fake version of
xlive.dll
can allow you to play the single-player without having GFWL installed. - Benefits include faster loading and saving times.
- This makes the multiplayer mode unavailable, as it is reliant on GFWL.
Use Fable III fake xlive[7] |
