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.
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] |

Notes

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.
Use Fable III fake xlive[6] |
