MAJOR BUG - Wrong Character Constellation in Episode 2 (Spoiler)

[BangBoomBen]

Hello everybody. I did rescue Carley in the 1st Episode and Doug died. Now in the 2nd Episode Doug is alive and Carley is dead. Seems like a major bug. What informations do you need to fix it? Is there maybe a workaround - I don't wanna go on with that constellation as this is my "virgin" play and I don't wanna mess up my character-setup.
Best,

constellation is about stars ?!

do you mean cancelation ? for example you want to cancel the choice of doug and get carley back ?

to get carley back repeat the last chapter of ep1 also what system are you playing on ?

No, the character compilation(?) (the team setup) changed. Instead of a living Carley the Episode started with a living Doug. The game changed my choice - that must certainly be a bug. Episode 1 ends with Carley talking to me how sad the death of Doug is - Episode 2 starts with a paranoid Doug. Strange ?

I play the Steam Version on Win7 (64bit)

i have steam and on vista 64bit no save trouble at all

yes i've heard of this bug happening all i can suggest is check your hard drive isn't fragmented, reinstall the game and replay you choices, check your drivers are upto date and maybe back up your saves on to a usb from your 'username' documents folder.

and if your going to quit the game at the end wait till the credits roll.

You didn't wait for the credits to roll all the way did you?

[Milosuperspesh]

the game auto saves just before the preview so you don't have to watch the credits all the way through just as long as they start to roll

I had the same problem on the same system. There are some unofficial workarounds:

I did wait the whole credits, can't abort them anyway without ending the game. No it's a bug and it seems known. Here is a workaround that helped (I found it in another forumpost: http://www.giantbomb.com/the-walking-dead/61-34205/did-anyone-else-have-their-decisions-imported-incorrectly/35-552469/?page=2 ):

"The game stores a "prefs.prop" in two places. One in:
C:\Users\___\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead
And the other in:
D:\STEAM\steamapps\common\the walking dead\Pack\default
Or if you don't have the Steam version, its somewhere in your game DIR.
Do backups before overwriting anything.
Copy the prefs.prop file from your game's DIR folders, and overwrite it in your Documents\TTG\TWD folder
Go in game and load the save game with your finished EP1. Switch to EP2 in the chapter select and run it."

It worked than surprisingly.
