Fable Legends. And its natural lighting.

[RancidLunchmeat]

I just got my invite to the Beta.

Does anybody know how to find it online in the store? I was able to activate the code and "purchase" the game through Xbox.com, but then I couldn't find any place to actually download the game so it's ready when I get off work.

Is there some mystery place I need to go on the website to do it?

Is anybody else playing the Beta?

Once you have redeemed your code you'll be able to download the Fable Legends game client.

1. Depending on your settings the game should download automatically, in this case all you need to do is wait until it has finished. You'll be able to see the download progress in the Queue section of My games and apps.

2. Currently, the game client is in the region of 10gb, although this may grow as we release future updates.

3. If you do not have automatic downloading enabled you may need to manually initiate the downloading process. You should see Fable Legends in the Queue or Ready to Install section of My games and apps.

4. If you find that the game is not visible after installation please try hard rebooting your Xbox One and it should reappear.

Thanks! Duh, I guess I'm supposed to know that any time you "buy" a game it will automatically download if your console is set to do that.

For some reason, entering a promo code rather than buying it threw me for a loop.

Finally got my beta key. Took them long enough; I signed up on the first day. lol

That's about much we can say I guess. Let's do this. :sly:

 

[eastmen]

Lol guess they sent out a lot of keys today.

 

[iroboto]

Lol yes ^^

Got my key last night (X1) but have not had chance to download it yet.

Do we know if this beta is the DX12 build, and do we know for sure whether the previous build was DX11 or DX12?

I'm hoping for massive improvements from this build, as I thought the previous one was pretty poor...

 

[iroboto]

That information is likely not getting out. That and Lionhead is banning accounts for NDA breaches on forums etc so that's why it's been generally quiet.

First beta videos published! The lighting of this game is as fine as expected -I like how it bounces.

Looks like it's really struggling to render at a decent framerate, a lot of tearing as well. Lightning is very nice though.

I believe it's a thing of the video..., not the game, hopefully

Unfortunately not. It tears like a bastard.

The lighting is very good though. Foliage density/physics interactions are also very impressive but I suspect will have to be toned down a bit to hit a stable framerate.

Then I wish they fix it later. Does the game run at 30 fps or is it 60fps?

Beware o what you say if you have the beta. The videos I shared have been removed, that was quick, and their gamertags registered, open for the world to see, those two French guys and the Italian guy are going to share the same fate than those that shared the GeoW video.

How can you have dynamic GI and not include AO in the shadowed areas? Wth?

You can't be watching the videos, they don't work anymore, so we shall wait until we have more material

I'm looking at the screenshot on Page 1.

Even the foliage doesn't have AO.

 

[Scott_Arm]

Those screens are over a year old. Not in the beta to know how it compares, but the art style looks a little different.

Well, I'm anxious to see how they solve that problem on a console with a budget of 30fps.

These are probably the latest screens. Probably PC. https://www.fablelegends.com/media/malice-screenshot

Still doesn't look like AO is the shadowed areas. I'll need a much larger screenshot showing this. I'm interested in the game though -- perhaps Nvidia will enable HBAO+. Btw, that footage looks like X1. Shadow maps look too low res for a PC (unless running settings at Low).
