Thank you so much! I can finally play

knell28 · 10/16/2012, 02:08 pm

is there a certain version of WinZip that can't/must be used in order for this to work? I have version 17 and its not opening up the Zip File. Its giving me a "cannot open file...it does not appear to be a valid archive".

I don't see why it shouldn't work. I use 7-Zip though.

Worked great; thanks!! Oh and for years I've found WinRAR to be better than WinZIP; personal preference...

Scree · 10/16/2012, 04:18 pm

Cool, worked fine, thanks a lot, at least someone take cares about crashed downloads

Hey thanks. That totally worked! I had to hit the get button a few times, but it finished and the episode started.

Hey Telltale, maybe you should offer this guy a job. While you were ignoring everybody and twiddling your thumbs, he came up with a simple, effective solution to the problem.

Two days ago when I looked at the TaleTale site for 'JOBS' they had just about every position available! Yup, they still do! http://www.telltalegames.com/company/jobs/

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

Yeah, the savegames disappeared after the installation of episode 3. I used the manual downloading of files and afterwards clicked "Get" to finish the download. Unfortunately after a week when I restarted the game, episode 3 had disappeared again.
This time I used the normal download function from the app itself and this worked after a couple of tries, but afterwards, my saves were gone. Well, the files are still there, but the game doesn't recognize them anymore.

And yes, the waiting still continues, even after a workaround or any fix. I've tried deleting the temporary files, deleting the prefs.prop file, but to no avail.

Look at the bottom of the first post in this thread.

Magwitch · 10/17/2012, 02:24 am

Thanks so much for this workaround. It worked perfectly for me, on Vista, first time.

I already figured that out. If you are downloading with the Internet Explorer you have to rename the file from Empty_PatchFS.zip to Empty_PatchFS.zip.gz after the download and before unpacking. When you unzip it now there will be another zip file in the zip file itself. The problem is the used gzip format which does not work with some IE versions.

You may also use another browser to download the file - both ways should work.

That is no statement it is a joke! They are speaking of not strong connections and a small number of people - both is not the truth!
