Issues unresolved[edit]
Some settings don't save[edit]
- 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[edit]
Run the game at screen refresh rate[edit]
- 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] |
