help loading saved game
 

I've checked everywhere I can think of, but I still can't find an answer, and I hope someone here can help me.

I can't seem to load a game I've previously saved. :confused: I'm sure the answer is simple, but I'm just missing it. Thanks!

Let's see, you did the obvious right? Clicked on the save/load button, then clicked on a save sl- oh wait, you're not playing the demo right? If you are, you're not allowed to save.

I purchased the real game, and played it, and clicked on save. When I save the game, it says "Game Saved," but when I try to load it, it looks like there's nothing there to load. When I try to load a saved game, The Paper always comes down saying, "Sorry, you can't save right now." I've gone through the tutorial, but it doesn't tell me about how to save or load.

There should be a simple answer, but I can't seem to find it. :(

Do you press Escape to bring up the menu and then select "Save\Load"?

(Also: Wii or PC?)

bring up menu, yes; save/load, yes; wii, no; PC, yes
 

I do bring up the menu, by either clicking on the "main menu" button during the game or (after quitting the game), clicking on "go to main menu." And, yes, I click on save/load.

On a side note, I did download the demo and play it, but about a week ago I bought the full version (for PC) and played it.

Since you're in the PC version, I'd say make sure that the game is actually creating save points. First off, attempt to save again to try making a save point.

Go to My Documents/Telltale Games/ (*username*/Documents/Telltale Games in Vista.) And then into the episode that's not working. In there there should be a few files, those are the saves. If there's nothing in there, it's a bug.

If there is stuff there, the game just isn't handling them well. Then it's a bug.

Also, just to get some of the obvious problems out, you've entered the code for the game at the start up screen, right?

When you save, it should ask you which of the three available slots to save in. Is it doing that?

code? ask? no?!
 

No, what code?

And, no, it doesn't ask which slot to save in, for some reason. :confused:

So.... if you entered no "code", then I'm guessing you're still demo'd?

User name? I think so
 

No, I don't have the demo. Do you mean did I enter my Telltale Games user name? If you do, then I entered that.

Well, I said "ask", but that's not really accurate. The Save\Load screen should have four "slots". Each one will have a Load button off to the right and the bottom three will have Save button on the left.
At (almost) any time during the game, you can click one of the "Save" buttons to save a game in that slot. The top slot is the Autosave slot and will automatically be populated with a save game when you pass certain points in the plot or go to the "home" area.

Does your screen look like this?

Now, I did notice on mine that if I click on a "Save" button immediately after the menu loads (before entering a game) I get an error message that says "That feature is not available in the Demo", even though I've got a registered copy.

Edit: You running vista? If so dig through here:

Apparently SBCG4AP doesn't like limited user accounts in Vista.

Hey man, If I was you I'd post this in the game support forum. Something just doesn't seem right, and I'm sure a Telltalle employee could help you out better than us.

No offense ReverendTed and Holyxion...

thanks for help
 

I think I may know what I'm doing wrong now. I think I'm clicking on the "autosave" button.

ReverendTed, it does look kinda like that, only reversed: the blank box is full, and all the other slots are empty.

Thanks for all your help, I'll try your suggestions tomorrow and see if they work. :)

Yeah, that's what I meant, normally you would have to enter a code if you don't have a Telltale account.

I think he's stuck like this:

And in the thread I linked to earlier on pg. 2:

There's a little discussion, and possible fixes for the guy.

I really need to turn the automatic e-mail notifications.... they're starting to get annoying.

That sounds likely. Good find. (I don't stray much from the SBCG4AP forums.)

you put it right!
 

That post you linked to is the exact same problem I'm having!

no vista
 

And, no, I think I'm running XP, but I know I'm not running Vista.

Are you running an administrator account in Windows, or a limited user account?

To find out, go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> User Accounts. What does it say in this window?
