I did that and simply copied the saved games and pasted them into the correct folders later. Had no problems at all! Except at first the game told me I had no license (LOL) which of course wasnt true but then reinstall again and it all worked out fine.

I'm on MacOS 10.6.8 and having trouble finding the folder Telltale Games in "application support" even though I have hidden files visible.

I can right click the walking dead icon and "show package contents" but there are no separate folders split up for episode 1, 2 etc.

ANy ideas?

[JordyLicht]

Open Finder, Hold Option (ALT) and click on Go.
Library will appear, click on that and then browse to Application Support. Telltale Games should be there.

By the way, any word or news about some official fixes yet? I still have NOT been able to play episode 3. If this is not fixed before episode 4 is released, I really want my money back. I've paid for a game that I can't even finish.

Hey, it works fine for me for both the episode. If episode 4 has the same problem, is the any chances you will post them up here?

[DjNDB]

I'll update it for Episode 4 when it's released. I can do the PC Version, but for the Mac Version someone needs to attach the respective .json file.

[JBelin]

Hey DjNDB, how do I get the .json file? Where is it located?

It's mentioned in the first post, quoted below. You might have to press "get" once first for the episode to make it appear. At least that's how it works on PC.

So for Episode 4 on the mac, I need to wait for a .json file?

Or you attach it yourself. You need to .zip it though.

What files do I need to click for episode four for mac specifically?

[DjNDB]

Once you clicked "get" for the episode, the .json files should be in
~/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead/SyncFS/Meta/
Named similar to the episodes.
I don't know the specifics, because i don't have a mac.

I think the problem I'm having is that I bought the 24.99 thing awhile back when there were 3 episodes, and now that there's another one it's throwing me off asking for another purchase. I was under the impression I could just download it from the game menu.

Yes, you should be able to download it since you own the season. Do you get this issue?

[bxjagal]

how about for the ps3??? my game crashes and my ps3 freezes so i have to manually restart it and then copy my saved file from the ps plus storage....but nope stil crashes at the same area.

[DjNDB]

I can't do anything for PS3. Sorry.

[dirtbread]

I have a PC. I can't download episode 4 and your method did not work for me. Oddly, in game i'm getting told that "I can download episode 3 in the playstation store." I'm playing on PC.

Please help.


**** Update:

Disabled firewall and now it updated to correctly show episode 4 as downloadable. However, whenever I click "get," my connection is lost.

Please advise

[JBelin]

Unfortunately it still says "coming soon" on my mac version. *sigh*

[DPB]

Thanks for the links, I've finally been able to download Episode 4 after it resetting at 33% several times.

It might be worth mentioning in the original post that you need to clear out Documents\The Walking Dead\SyncFS\Temp if you've partially downloaded some of the files within the game. Before I did that it still wanted to restart the download.

[buntah]

Well, that didn't work for me. I downloaded the episode 4 files and put them in the folder. Then I opened the game and Clicked "get" and it immediately said it was installed. So, I tried to play the game and it locked up. So, I shut it down and restarted it and Now the game opens in Window mode (instead of full screen like it always did before and asks me for my user name and password to unlock the game (like the first time I played Episode 1) and when I enter the info, the games locks up and doesn't go any further *sigh* I checked the Temp folder and it's empty ... I moved all of the downloaded files out and tried to play the game again, but I'm still in window mode and being asked for my user name and password ... grrrrrrrr

UPDATE: I finally got back into the game and now when I went to click "get", it says "coming soon" ... maybe TellTale has removed episode 4 until they fix its bugs?

Here's the .json for the mac version, although for me this time it worked fine to download it through the game.
