Telltale Games

lockload · 12/29/2012, 02:36 pm

I got stuck in episode 3 but i checked on here and the fix was to download 4 and 5 (which i had already purchased but not installed) so minor annoyance of downloading the episodes in advance

TWD_savegame · 12/30/2012, 06:35 am

Ruined it. I don't want to generate random events in order to play episode 3. I purchased all 5 episodes on steam sales and I'm pretty pissed about that. That problem dates back at least 6 months from what I can tell and Telltale could have least offered a workaround by letting you choose the previous decisions besides the option to randomize it.

Antmaster · 12/30/2012, 08:43 pm

It ruined the game since I can't finish episode 3 without getting a save glitch. I don't know if it worth my time to try finish the game? It will take me a couple hours every time to get back episode 3 but I constantly get a save glitch. Not sure if I will have any problems with episodes 4 and/or 5 if I get to those sections in the game? I bought the entire season from the XBLA sale so at least that has lessen the blow to my wallet. At this point I won't be able to finish the game in its current state. It is shame since the game seemed to be an awesome ride for the first two episodes.

Second that.

Didn't happen to me, so me don' give a fuck.

ugli · 01/01/2013, 03:13 am

The bug happened to me while on ep4. Had to play from beginning. Still haven't finished..

frankubus3 · 01/01/2013, 08:30 am

The game started reverting back to episode 1 midway through episode 3. Was an amazing game until this, so frustrated don't know if I want to deal with getting back to episode 4. Xbox arcade should start issuing some refunds.

Don't worry guys, Telltale has said not enough people have complained about this issue to warrant them giving a damn.

I hope affected gamers continue to pressure the gaming press to report on TTG's inept QA and support departments.

Telltale games has successfully violated every single one of the ideas presented in this article.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122160026028144779.html

And yet they somehow are being rewarded as a great studio. It is so frustrating that Telltale games continues to hook in new customers without giving a damn to fix their game. I think TTG should be heaped in with the EA's and Activisions of the world.

They are no better than the other profit seeking behemoths, and gamers should be aware that TTG is just as bad with their business practices. They deserve to be recognized for developing a good game, but the rest of their business operations is terrible.

As of 2013 this is still a problem.. I downloaded all 5 from Xbox Live and they all worked fine up until 4 (several graphical glitches aside, looking at you Invisible Duck and Headless Lee being dragged through the bottom of a truck). Then it deleted my save and started over at episode 1... Great waste of 8 hours.

Can't believe this. The very least they could do is offer a way at the start of every episode to pick the previous choices before you start.

Phil_TWD · 01/02/2013, 01:57 pm

> I haven't been affected but I feel bad for those who have and would be angered if it happened to me.

It's sad that others are getting technical problems when playing this amazing game.

Deathmothon · 01/02/2013, 05:43 pm

I'm confused. Unless this is some kind of massively complicated fix (and it doesn't seem like it would be) then why in the hell haven't they fixed it. Anytime you go to a forum and it's so full of complaints about the same problem, it needs to get fixed. I guarentee they are going to lose more money in the long run by not fixing it. The numbers above are only a tiny fraction of the actual numbers. Most people with a problem aren't going to find this thread, and most of the ones who do aren't going to register just to vote. This is really perplexing (and annoying)

realzzz · 01/02/2013, 06:09 pm

Just happened to me now i was at episode 4 and now i need to start over the forst episode ! Really disapointing.

Basser · 01/02/2013, 06:27 pm

I was like 10 minutes away from the ending of episode 4 when my save file glitched and I had to start from episode 1 again.

I still have confidence that they're going to solve this. But it's a shame that they're taking so long, and without a word of apologize for us who had to replay it involuntarily.

Spykes · 01/04/2013, 05:58 pm

I voted for minor annoyance, but there should be a option between that and ruined the game, because thats where I'm at. It hasn't ruined the game because I can just redo episode 3, but it's really freaking frustrating to lose 2 or so hours of gameplay. Without any skip cutscene option, it makes the replaying a chore.

ClemOwnedYou · 01/04/2013, 06:40 pm

Nice to see a thread.

Got home after waiting for Episode 4 to come out.
Got my buzz on and threw on Episode 4. Only to find out, I had to start from episode 1.
I almost lost it.
After playing episode 1 it allowed me to go straight to 4. Still kinda ruined my night.

Another issue that caused alot of problems was the Train issue. Everytime I left the cabin, it started to glitch. Took a good 45 minutes to finally get past it, but wow. Hope this stuff is corrected before being released. Damn! Give me the game to play, and Ill tell you whats wrong with it before releasing it.

Yeah, no %hit! How is this the only game that doesnt allow a skip cutscene? Agree all the way brother!

Norcim133 · 01/04/2013, 09:53 pm

Same thing happened to me at end of Episode 4. Finished 4 feeling very happy about my choices.
When 5 came out my only options were

Continue Episode 4, whereupon it tells me Episode 5 is still "Coming Out"
Select Episode 5 directly in which case it "auto chooses" my preferences for Episode 4

Dildor · 01/04/2013, 11:06 pm

I've had issues with my saves a couple times, and someone else I know had to fix theirs too. I'd say it's a real detriment to the experience when you aren't sure if your saves are going to be safe the next time you open the game up. I'm hoping they can iron out these problems in time for season 2!

Atum · 01/05/2013, 03:39 am

Had to start all over again from episode 3. So yeah, ruined it, especially because you can't skip.

Miaou50 · 01/05/2013, 05:47 am

Ruined it too.
I was about to play EP5, and was finishing EP4 for the second time for fun with some particular decisions when all saves were lost.
As there is still no way to generate manually the choices initially made, except redoing all the game, I still haven't played the EP5 and I'm hesitating to keep on playing... I hope that somewhere somebody could hear us, and built a smart solution, even just to simulate the choices (not random anyway).
Of course, if the story keeps on for an other season, we could only hope that these unacceptable bugs will be fixed.
