Telltale Games

Skyblue03 · 11/21/2012, 08:17 am

I just started playing the Walking Dead over the weekend, and I've been addicted ever since! I had no issues at all with episodes 1 or 2, but I've been stuck at the same glitch in episode 3 for 2 days now. When Lee & Kenny are trying to get the train running and Lee has found the notepad with the instructions on it. When I select the console, I can select section 6, but I cannot select section 5 to move the knob on the left. I have rewound the game numerous times, and even redownloaded it twice, but every time I am running in to this same glitch. It's getting very frustrating to be stuck on such an easy step in the game.
Any suggestions to fix this glitch? I want to keep playing this game!

I am playing the game on an Xbox 360. Thanks!

When you properly move the switches on Section 6, do the console lights turn on? Have you tried going outside and flipping the Section 9 switches?

Skyblue03 · 11/21/2012, 10:57 pm

Yes, when I flip the switches on section 6, they light up perfectly. I did also try to turn on section 9, but I cannot, due to section 5 not being on. I feel like I've tried nearly everything!

I know you said you have tried rewinding, but can you try rewinding 2 checkpoints and replaying to this point in the game? Also, try copying your save to another slot and continuing from there and seeing if the option is available.

Lastly, please watch a video walkthrough of this scene, just to make sure you have fulfilled all the previous requirements. There are many steps to this puzzle that may not be obvious, and it's worth confirming that you satisfied all of them.

Rewinding 2 checkpoints -> Done (still lock)
Copying save to another slot -> Done (still lock)

You people on telltale team only say the same thing at alot of threads,maybe a new patch so this problem go away instead or?

Found a major bug on the train. Can't exit the notepad view after using the pencil to sketch the start up instructions. It keeps saying hit B to exit and shows the notepad flash by for a second but still says hit B to exit. I've tried rewinding to an earlier point and yet the same things happens. Please help.

Learn the notepad by heart and don't use it.... Only solution I found ! You will manage to activate switch 6 and 5. But for now without a patch it's impossible to activate switch 9, no instructions appears so we are all kind of stuck.

Thanks, hope they patch soon, ran into switch 9 bug right after notepad bug.

I have also done all of this to no avail.

This is obviously an issue with the game and needs to be resolved. There are a number of people stuck in the exact same spot.

Please help!

I'm stuck on switch 9 as well, although really the problem seems to begin with reading the note. GAH! I bought episode 3 a few weeks ago and TODAY is the day I decide to play it.

mikeiothegreat · 12/11/2012, 01:26 am

I am also stuck at this point

Any workarounds?

**MattP** · 12/11/2012, 09:07 am

This appears to be a new issue unrelated to the initial thread subject, and we are now looking into it.

After activating switches 6 and 5 and heading to switch 9, can you back out and continue to move around the train?

Yes as long as you don't try looking at the notepad while interacting with the console.

**MattP** · 12/11/2012, 09:40 am

Thanks for the information. Can you tell me what episodes you have installed? Do you have all 5 or just 1-3?

1 thru 3

jblp · 12/11/2012, 10:10 am

The issue seems to start after reading the note. Hitting B does not back out of the note properly. I can continue to look around, but I cannot move freely. I have episodes 1 - 3 installed.

JerrySandButtCheeks · 12/11/2012, 10:48 am

I'm jumping in because I'm having the same problem. The notepad screws everything up. You can fiddle with the number 9 switch before you decipher the notepad. However, once you use the pencil on the pad you're screwed, even if you complete switches 5,6 without looking at the pad(if u look at the pad it glitches out and you cannot exit the pad) the number 9 switch is not selectable no selectable circle. This has been going on for 2 days now. I've been playing for a week or so, only downloaded episode 1 thru 3. Something happened when Telltale issued an update on Monday morning, something with the update caused it too glitch out. I say this because i played this same part on sunday night(East coast time)around midnight. I started the train with no problems but i quit right after that before disconnecting the car and it didn't save the engine starting. started up on Monday, and there was an update for the game. So i completed the download and began playing when this problem kept reoccurring, rewinding also doesn't help. Restarted the whole episode to no avail .

**MattP** · 12/11/2012, 10:53 am

I have another couple questions:

Did you take or leave Lily?
Did you install the latest Title Update that was released this past weekend?

Thank you for your patience while we figure this out.
