Telltale Games

The Indigo Child · 04/25/2012, 12:37 pm

Hey all, I've had quite a few issues with this game. First I couldn't launch it, but I fixed that by disabling desktop composition. Since doing that I have made it to the main menu on several occasions. However I quit the game to go prepare a salad for my bearded dragon (useless bit of information I know) and now I am unable to get past the click to play bit, it just gets stuck on connecting. Anyone else had this problem? Anyone have a fix?

Thanks in advance

I'm having the exact same issue. I can't find a fix anywhere.

Vat1canAssass1n · 04/25/2012, 01:11 pm

I did, but I restarted my pc and it fixed it.

Frustrated_Gamer · 04/25/2012, 03:07 pm

I have the same issue. Yesterday the game worked perfectly for me, but when I tried to play it today, it got stuck on connecting after I pressed "click to play." I tried restarting my computer as well as un-installing and re-installing the game, but I am still unable to connect. pretty annoying...

Milosuperspesh · 04/25/2012, 03:41 pm

restarted steam no luck..

validation check did nothing lol

I just bought the game and tried booting it for the first time on Mac OS X and have the same issue. I have extremely fast internet. Can someone tell me why I am forced to connect to the internet to play a single-player game that I've already downloaded?

As a first-time customer of Telltale Games, this does not bestow confidence in the brand or make me interested in buying any other of their products. Please fix this.

This reminds me of the time I had to pirate Spore to actually play it. Constant reminders of why DRM is almsot always a terrible idea.

Same problem. Connecting... *sigh*

corruptbiggins · 04/25/2012, 04:00 pm

I was having this problem, I fixed it by making the game executable run as an administrator in privilege level. Here's how to do it:

Find the file WalkingDead101.exe either by searching for it or going to your steam folder (usually Program Files->Steam), then going to steamapps->common->the walking dead. Once the file has been found, right click and choose properties then select the compatibility tab. At the bottom under privilege level check the box that says 'Run this program as an administrator'.

This is what I did and the next time I tried to run the game it connected in seconds.

Same plus the two times I played during cut scenes things would freeze a lot and I have a pretty nice computer with 8GB of RAM and a Radeon HD 6800 and lets not forget Sandy Bridge i5 plus the game is fine when I'm in move click portions one cut scene at Clementine's house crashed the game and all I heard were grunting sounds

Armand1880 · 04/25/2012, 04:13 pm

Yeah, can't get past connecting. I posted in the support thread. I tried everything I could, every suggestion - restarting everything, reinstalling, etc. Nothing.
This sucks.

Skinner · 04/25/2012, 04:14 pm

Running as administrator is not working for me either. I was able to play completely fine yesterday...

Milosuperspesh · 04/25/2012, 04:16 pm

yo armand do you post on the gears of war blog/community post ?
i seen an 'armand' on there

Masta23 · 04/25/2012, 04:17 pm

Same here. I was playing for a bit earlier. Now I have restarted steam, restarted computer but still getting a continuous connecting message. Disappointing.

CitizenC · 04/25/2012, 04:18 pm

@TellTaleGames This is pretty weak, guys. This is a single-player game, which I can't play, because of some "Connecting..." nonsense?

Honestly, that's pretty pathetic. If we can't connect to get gameplay stats or news, fine. But we should be able to play the game that we paid for.

Hell, I was playing it not half an hour ago, and now it doesn't work.

RareApo · 04/25/2012, 04:18 pm

I also played yesterday with 0 issues, now I don't past from "connecting" and is no my PC, I have all drivers updated and have a PC that can handle every game with no sweat...

8 GB RAM DDR3 @1600MHz
GTX580
AMD Phenom II x4 965 @3.4GHz

Restarted Steam (I bought it there), restarted PC, uninstalled and reinstalled game, and still connecting...

*Mike* · 04/25/2012, 04:21 pm

That issue should be resolved now.
