Telltale Games

leftOfCenter · 10/14/2012, 03:44 pm

DjNDB, I thank you for your assistance. Like many other people, even with the patch, I still have to reconnect to restart the download every 7-15%. Then I have lost a few percentages as well by having to reconnect

Do I need to do anything with the back up that made with the saved games? Did I miss a step?

Even with your help, all this hassle does not reflect well on Telltale Games.

****EDIT *** I take that back, I get to 17% and it disconnects and kicks me back to 10%. Or, at least it has 3 times so far

Somebody remind me why I am doing this again?

NashSu · 10/14/2012, 05:39 pm

I followed the steps and when I get around 20-28% it gets a connection error and restarts at 10%. Found the files and put in the read only on both of them. They are in the meta folder too. System is W7 and the other downloads have worked before. I have already deleted the temps a few times before starting the download. I followed the steps to the letter but still have some trouble.

Any advise?

Keep in mind, that this only works around the instant "connection lost" issue. It doesn't prevent later disconnects.
If you can't get the Download to run through, you might be better off using the alternative download workaround.

Thank you! Thank you!

Absolute legend!! Thank you

homsar8 · 10/15/2012, 09:39 am

Still not working, is it possible if it will fix itself in time?

homsar8 · 10/15/2012, 09:46 am

Never mind, I tried the process again and it's working fine

EniGmi · 10/15/2012, 01:02 pm

Thank you, this worked first time for me and I have just played the whole of Episode 4 through with no problems.

I do think it's a shame that there has been no official apology or comment issued after a week, hopefully this will be forthcoming. Telltale make some great games, they just need to tighten up on quality control.

*DjNDB* · 10/15/2012, 01:05 pm

There is an official statement in a sticky thread.

LukkyLX · 10/15/2012, 04:02 pm

I grew desperate because the patch didn't work, so I played around with the write protection, which of course had no effect. I was reseting my computer, checked my internet connection a few times... nothing worked. Then I wanted to delete that useless patch and when I opened the Meta-Folder, the patch was gone....

because I copied it into the Backup-Meta-Folder

Long story short: it works and thanks a lot

But one thing I don't understand... why do I have to disable the write protection before deleting?

Thanks, i removed the extra step. I probably thought that read-only would prevent deletion when i wrote it.

puresholtz · 10/15/2012, 05:07 pm

As an update- I finally got it to download! Deleting the temp files before download worked

Thanks so much!

I am new to PC and half of the OP's post is gibberish to me. Can anyone help me through this?

metalhead15 · 10/15/2012, 07:12 pm

This working better than not at all, but that's not saying much. The download is painfully slow and appears to lose the connection every 10% or so, I'm only to 20%, I'll keep you posted.

Moragami · 10/15/2012, 10:02 pm

This worked for me, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Telltale, really pathetic.

JordyLicht · 10/15/2012, 11:20 pm

So is there a Mac fix as well?

I don't have a Mac, so i can't try it. The same thing might work, by copying the same empty .json files to
~/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead/SyncFs/Meta
and write protecting them, until the episodes are downloaded, and deleting them afterwards.

Don't forget to make a backup of
~/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead/
before you try it.

MarkEvans1985 · 10/16/2012, 05:07 am

Wow mine started downloading!

JordyLicht · 10/16/2012, 05:57 am

Yessir... The download worked, so yes this fix also works for Mac.
I'm now the proud owner of episode 4

... but, now my saves aren't recognized anymore. Even though the savefiles are still there. I only have an option for a new game.

EDIT:

DjNJB, since you seem you visit this thread regularly, do you have ANY idea why I keep on having to wait 20 minutes until I can go to the main menu? I already know it's downloading an update, so the first time I just waited patiently, but I get this every time I start the game.

Wait, you already mentioned these savegame issues before the download. Or did they work again in between?

I don't know why you have to wait every time. Did you also have to wait while you did this workaround?
