[TWD] Episode 5 still "Coming soon"

[almizilero]

Many people seem to have had this problem but I still can't download the episode.
I'm on a Mac and bought the game directly from TT. Is there any sort of fix? When there were the same problems with Ep 4 it was at least possible to directly download the game file from this forum, but I can't find anything like that now.
Heck, I wouldn't even care if I loose my own decissions if I could download the Episode and some savegame with the same general setup (= people to come along) as I had it at the end of Ep 4.
I just want to finish this game somehow.

Any help is appreciated!

Wow, impressive support. Gotta love Telltale, I'll recommend it to all my friends.

Did you try the unofficial manual way of getting the episodes yet?

Thanks, I was looking for something like that but couldn't find it for some reason.

But it still doesn't work. I downloaded the packeges for Episode 5 using the semi-automatic download and copied them into the correct folder.
Problem is, per instruction I have to click the "Get Episode" button. But I can't do that since it still says "Coming soon" for Episode 5...

EDIT:

Solved somehow. I copied the WalkingDead105.json file over to my Meta folder and now it says "Installed" for Episode 5. No need to use the get button.

Still thanks for nothin' Telltale, and BIG THANKS to DjNDB for his unofficial way!

I am not sure what causes the "coming soon" issue.

You can try something though:

Right-click (or CTRL-click) on TheWalkingDead.app and select "Show package contents".
Please check if there's a prefs.prop in TheWalkingDead.app/Contents/Resources or its subfolders.
If so, make a backup copy of the prefs.prop and delete it from the TheWalkingDead.app package.
