Thanks for everything.

You rock!

Thanks for the links again, I'm not even going to bother with the in-game downloader this time after having to restart every download several times for the previous episodes.

Thanks so much! Just wondering, how come there are fewer files for episode five than the other episodes?

The other episodes got more files over time through patches.

Ah, okay. And sorry for bothering, but one more question. I did the manual download, created the WalkingDead105 folder in the exact place you specified, and placed the files in there. All files from the Temp folder have been deleted, but I'm still getting "coming soon" when I go to play the game. Would you happen to have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong? And I'm using a Mac.

distortion · 11/21/2012, 12:09 pm

Oh, and I just saw that in the meta folder I have .json files for what looks like episodes 1-4. I'm guessing that might have something to do with it. Should I delete those files?

"Coming soon" is a different issue. This workaround requires that the "Get" button works.
There is a chance that deleting the content of the "Meta" folder helps. I would give it a try.

distortion · 11/21/2012, 12:21 pm

Nah, didn't work. It just made me have to redownload all the episodes. Luckily I didn't delete the files, just moved them elsewhere. Oh well, I guess I just have to hope that the coming soon goes away. Strange, I think I remember having coming soon for episode 3/4/both and using this workaround successfully...well, thanks for your help anyway, you're an awesome dude regardless of my personal success.

The .json file is in the PC_Downloader.zip attached to the first post. I wouldn't expect it to help, but it doesn't hurt to try.

The question is, why the game doesn't know about Episode 5. It should connect to TTGs servers at the beginning for updates, and i assume something goes wrong at that point.

Have you tried if it still says coming soon if you rename the entire "SyncFs" Folder?
I would also try restarting your computer.

distortion · 11/21/2012, 12:41 pm

Well, I'm not really sure what I did, but I got it working. I think something just finally kicked in and the computer made the connections it was supposed to all along once I got the episode five files. Thanks for everything, sincerely.

That's great. You're welcome.

RexHunt · 11/21/2012, 10:04 pm

Thanks, DjNDB. Didn't even bother trying to update it 'normally' this time. This is much quicker and painless.

BrendanK · 11/25/2012, 01:40 pm

Yeah, this manual download is SOOOOO much better than the in-game download. Atleast this way you can actually see if the files are in fact downloading, and the biggest benefit ofcourse would be you don't have to sit through an entire download to re-try a failed install. Why couldn't Telltale provide direct downloads to begin with??

PixelenMousse · 11/28/2012, 05:32 am

DjNDB,

you sir, are worthy of my respect. Thanks bro!

emric77 · 12/21/2012, 02:06 am

DjNDB, this is exactly what i needed! thanks so much! i was getting mightily stressed before coming across your instructions. worked perfectly

cheers

bigboiboling · 01/04/2013, 03:31 am

Just tried out the unofficial fix, but when I tried to go back into the game and press the Get button for the episodes, it froze on the title screen right after it said "Connecting." any suggestions?

I get that too at the moment. I assume it is an unrelated server issue.

EDIT:
It actually recovered from that while i was typing. So please give it a few minutes.

blaquehowler · 01/10/2013, 02:34 pm

This thread works for me

Faith in Humanity: Restored! I finally managed to download the whole game I paid for.

Now all I have to worry about are the bugs this game allegedly has but for now, all is right with the world. Cheers!!!

DjNDB - quality - works perfectly, was such a pain trying to download through the game for over a week. This approach worked first time...well done!

tep2 · 01/18/2013, 03:46 am
