At the same time, Lionhead revealed that many other fixes will arrive in later patches, so don't worry if some of the issues encountered by you in Fable III aren't fixed just yet.
"While we make every effort to include as many upcoming changes in our patch notes as possible, please be aware that some changes are unintentionally omitted," the release says.
"Where possible the title update will be retroactive, meaning if you've already experienced the issue in your game it will now be resolved. This is not applicable to all solutions."
