Author Fable 480p Problem

Anyone else have this problem?

I have other XB titles that are 480p enabled, but when I play Fable with
480p enabled on my XB console I get the vast pixelation/distortion problems
that you encounter when trying to play on a resolution that your HDTV
doesn't support (or any TV for that matter). Fable is the only 480p game
I've encountered that causes this problem, other 480p games look great. To
play Fable I have to disable the 480p option in my XB dashboard.

Questions? Comments? Shitty remarks?

Eric

Easy to fix - and contrary to what some of the boards say you do not have to
have the disk tray open. Just go to the Xbox screen before you put in the
disk and hold both triggers and push down both sticks all together. Works
great.

I just bought, finished and started Fable again. Great game but a bit
short...wish there was another game like it.
