I'm using the normal Windows 7 firewall (without a manual exception for The Walking Dead).

Yes, Avira Antivir Personal, up to date. It is not blocking access.

I did not try out, as I need Steam to run it.

Additional information:

I recognized that The Walking Dead works if I run Steam as an Administrator.

But even this is not a solution, because very often the whole game will be reset, i.e.:
* the game starts in windowed mode, 1024x768
* all save games are lost (!), which is very annoying

@reeferguy

I managed to get it running by setting set as administrator and compability on windows 98/me, but then all my save files are lost and all ingame settings were lost to. And the game won't run on fullscreen for me to, but i managed to get it to full screen. All you need to do is to click on the middle of the game in the middle of the window and press buttons "alt" and "enter" in the same time, the window will get bigger and klick on the middle again and press "alt" and "enter" again. Then it should be fullscreen, you might need to repeat this like 2-3 times or even more......but it will get full screen eventually.

I am so dissapointed what TellTale did to us loyal customers, why are they doing this to us? Just to make the fucking game to work is like a survival horror, hahahaha.

Telltale make a fucking patch asap, or you will go to history as the biggest scandal in gaming history.

same issue here

[Corgan7]

Hi @ all

My Walking Dead won´t start after steam update too
im using win7 64Bit and have tried out the most of them what was wrote down on page 1 in here.

The only way to get my game back startet was to set the compatibility mode for WalkingDead101.exe to windowsxp service pack2 but if i use this settings the game starts
1. in a Window (ok, can be set to normal fullscreen and resolution via game settings menu)
2. overwrites my prefs.prop file in my documents floder at first startup so that the game can not use my old savegames if i overwrite the prefs.prop with my backup from last month it will be overwritten by the game at next startup again. Have tried to replace a new savegame created today with a renamed old savegame but thats dosn´t works too.
3. so i have to play the game from the beginning to restore my storyline in the game or to wait until the file is fixed for win7 64bit so that i can start the game without any compatibility mode.

So i actually have restored my backupfiles from the walking dead save floder and
wait with a cup of tea

Hi,

I got the same problem after ep3 and this is how I resolved it. I'm using steam in win7/64. I hope this works for you too.

1. Copy your savefiles the whole Telltale Games folder to desktop.

2. Uninstall the game.

3. Run RegClean or something like that program and delete all Telltale games reg files or Walking dead files.

4. Find every Talltale games folder and delete them from my documents (I did find 2 actully from different places) Using Search will help you. But do not delete copyed folder from desktop.

5. Install the game.

6. If game wont start run it as win98 / ME compatibility mode.

7. Start the game and shut it.

8. Now there should be Telltale Games folder at my documents. Copy your backup folder from desktop to documents folder and over write it if possible.

9. Start the game again. Press paly and if you dont have your save files there (i didnt) shut the game.

10. Now go documents folder and now there should be 2 Telltale games folders. In one Telltale games folder there should be your savefiles under "The Walking Dead" folder and another Telltale games folder should have "the walking dead" folder what game greated after last startup.

11. Copy all files from "The Walking Dead" folder to "the walking dead" folder and delete old Telltale Games folder where is The Walking Dead folder completly.

12. Start the game. Now your resolution, settings and savegames should be there and working correctly.

This is how I get my game working.

1: Are you using a software firewall? If so, have you allowed access to the game? Just windows firewall on 7 but I turned it off and still get the issue.

2: Do you have anti-virus software? If so, who makes it? Is it up to date? Is it blocking access to our game? Microsoft Essentials but turned off

3: Does the game work if you run it while disconnected from the Internet? No

The windows 98 compatibility thing fixed it but its still annoying that it didn't work as soon as I downloaded it on my win7 64 bit

[MinzeDrop]

1: Are you using a software firewall? If so, have you allowed access to the game?

Turned off

2: Do you have anti-virus software? If so, who makes it? Is it up to date? Is it blocking access to our game?

Turned off

3: Does the game work if you run it while disconnected from the Internet?

Yes it does. But I'd rather not.

[MegaDeath132]

1: Are you using a software firewall? If so, have you allowed access to the game? Yes, yes, does not matter if I have it on or off.

2: Do you have anti-virus software? If so, who makes it? Is it up to date? Is it blocking access to our game? Yes, AVG. Yes, No, Turned off or on does not help.

3: Does the game work if you run it while disconnected from the Internet?
No. Game does not work, connected or not connected.

I have tryed to change the game to run in Windows 98/ME it does run but soon as I try to load my save, it just goes to a black screen, I can not do anything other than alt to my desktop and end the task, that says its "working".
