For those of you who are using dual-core processors and experiencing random crashes, try changing your core affinity. You can do this by opening the game, then sometime between the opening scene and the main menu press Ctrl+Alt+Del. Click on the processes tab on the task manager and find Fable.exe, right click on it and go to "Set Affinity", then uncheck CPU 1. This should stop the random crashing, or at least make it less frequent.<you'll have to do this every time you run the game>
Now i can play the game for hours, but once i get so far in it i seem to have trouble with corrupt save files. At least i think thats the problem. once i've saved my game a bunch of times it wants to freeze or crash everytime i have to load a new area or try to save. The odd part is that it only does on one of my profiles, if i start a new game it runs without a hitch. But once i load the other one again it has the same problems it did before. i know some other people were having trouble with autosaves and loading and such, try starting a new game and see if you get the same results i do.
im stumpt...but yeah, lemme no how the affinity thing goes. it works wonderfully on my machine, but i haven't seen it done on anyone elses yet.
