New patch out today, but I have no idea what this one does. Co-op was already available from the patch I downloaded last Thursday.
Joystiq says that there are rumors that this patch makes you corrupt if you cheated:
“Although unconfirmed, we’ve heard various sources say that those who cheated at Pub Games start the game with full corruption, rendering you quite hideous in appearance.”
At the moment, I don’t believe this to be true, because you don’t start the game with your Pub Game earnings. You have to merge your patron with your new character after the childhood intro. Also, my character is still 100% Pure and Good after applying the patch. I’ve had him standing around Bowerstone Market (unpaused) for the past half an hour while I look for info on the web, and nothing has changed on him.
Update: Went back in to Pub Games, cheated up 50k, went back to Fable II. Still nothing changed.

Looks like that new patch caused a bit of trouble…

Haven’t had that problem myself. Sometimes it does freeze up for a second, usually when in the pause menus, or leaving the menus, but it’s never a permanent freeze. Just some sort of video lag.
