Fable 3 Main Executable has stopped working

[Princess Tomato]

Has anyone figured out a resolution for this? I tried setting all the applications within the game folder to Run as Admin and to Win7 compatibility mode, but it still crashes after a time.

I am running Win10. Ideas? Tips? Anyone else run into this issue?

I cannot enjoy the game for 20 minutes, sometimes even less, without it crashing.

[Princess Tomato]

Same. Anyone else have any ideas?

i got mine working, i right clicked on fable 3 exe and went to compatibilty issues and asked my laptop to troubleshoot, i chose the first option and lo and behold, its started running! no crashing!
after all the stuff on the internet i cant beleive asking my laptop to troubleshoot worked lol
BUT...i do have one problem right now i dont know how to fix? which is when i am playing and moving my character forward, the camera automatically pans up?! when i stop moving it readjusts properly but as soon as i start walking forwards it pans up again?! i have posted for help but noone has got back to me yet.

Did you edit the videooptions.xml file? try backing it up with winrar or something, then delete it and relaunch the game, there are many games on steam I have problems that is almost always fixed by deleting/replacing the vid config files first....

I will have to give that a shot! On the camera issue, do you have a controller plugged in? That could be part of the cause. If no, double check your control settings.

I haven't changed that at all. Only the main exe.

yeah i do have a xbox 360 controller plugged in, but i played it a year ago and it was fine?? but now it keeps panning up, so its not comfortable playing at all :(
also i got mine working with another method, if you go to the fable3 exe and go properties and compatability, i tested it and my laptop run the troubleshoot program and it suddenly started working that way too! problem is with these methods they are not straight forward when you simply want to play the game. Also the camera problem i have might be a result of doing it this way? idk?

The only thing I can think of for your camera is the controller. If you've disconnected it and it's still happening, idk.

Like I said, I already tried the main exe. It. Does. Not. Work. It will still crash. Idk where to find the videooptions.xml though.. I keep forgetting to look..
