Aniversario de fábula – Corrección de errores en el modo heroico

Introducción

I completed my first Fable Anniversary playthrough in Chicken (normal) dificultad & making mostly good choices (though I married Lady Grey LOL) and afterwards I wanted to do an «demonio» playthrough on Heroic (duro) dificultad, but what do you know, this game have some serious issues with multiple hero profiles and is fairly buggy, so even though I tried many methods and mixing/matching different steps I just could not make the game start on Heroic for about 2 semanas. It always set the difficulty to Chicken (normal). Entonces, if you are experiencing that same problem, esta es la guía para ti! Just follow the steps listed below and the game should create a new profile in Heroic (duro) dificultad.

Heroic Mode Bug Solution

Pasos:

• Current Heroes Backup
  This step only applies if you already have a hero profile.
  Go to this path on your computer:
  – «C:\Users\[YourUser]\Documents\My Games\FableHD\Saves»
  Nota: Remember to replace [YourUser] with your user name.

  There should be a folder for each hero profile, in my case I only had 1, so the folder was: «Hero1». Copy this folder somewhere safe and the backup is ready.

• Disable Steam Cloud
  I recommend you disable steam cloud at least during the creation of the new hero profile, this will avoid problems with replacing the files if neccessary and we have a backup anyway (recordar?).

  Just rigth click the game on Library and go to «Propiedades»:
  

  Then uncheck the option «Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud for Fable Anniversary»:
  Nota: I had Steam Cloud disabled in global settings as of making this guide.
• Delete Hero Profiles
  As I mentioned in the introduction this game have problems when using multiple hero profiles, so to avoid this and ensure the new game is created in «Heroic» (duro) difficulty there should be no nothing in the «Change Hero» pestaña, como esto:
  
• Create New Game (Heroic)
  I recommend closing the game and opening it again after deleting previous hero profiles, and instead of creating a new profile and then starting a new game you should just select «Nuevo juego», without touching the «Change Hero» pestaña. I know this may sound confusing, so here is a short video demonstrating the process:

• Check Save File
  By this point you should be running around Oakvale as a child, and to make sure this save file is in Heroic (duro) difficulty just go to the path where save files are:
  – «C:\Users\[YourUser]\Documents\My Games\FableHD\Saves»
  Nota: Remember to replace [YourUser] with your user name.

  Abierto «Hero1» carpeta (There should be no more heroes), then open the file «Profile.bin» with notepad:
  

  The file must contain the line «HardModeEnabled TRUE;»:
  

  If instead, dice «HardModeEnabled FALSE;», algo salió mal, let me know if you have any troubles!

Save File Before Last Boss (Heroic)

If you just want to get the «Great Balls of Fire!» achievement I have good news for you. I created a save file where the only thing between you and the achievement is the final boss: Guardar descargar archivos

You just have to load this save:

Notas finales

To be completely honest, I did not enjoy the second time around campaign of this game, there were many choices I could do different (evil ones, sabes?), but they were not that different from the first time around. I think this game had a lot of potentials but did not focus enough in any area, En particular, to be considered a masterpiece. That’s why I’m sharing the save file before the final boss, I think the Heroic (duro) difficulty was more annoying than actually hard.

Y ahí tienes, I hope this guide is helpful.
