Episode 2 save bugs: Corrupt saves, data loss, wrong choices

[ayemalone]

Wassup everyone? I was wondering if someone ran into a similar situation?

I wanted to do another playthrough using my original data

(i copied the data from the playthrough i just finished, ep2 and saved it to a new slot), but I ran into a problem. After I rewinded my new slot to the beginning, some of the choices ive made in the first episode seem to have been changed.

the first example was when Carley is asking whether anyone knows about Lee's secret...

on my first playthrough Lee says Clem knows and he COULDN'T lie to her. When I used my newly copied slot (rewinded), Lee says that Clem MIGHT know, because he lied to her. I don't neccesarily wanna go thru the rest of the playthru cause some of my other options might have been altered. IS this a bug that could possibly be fixed?

thanks

Sorry if this has been talked about already, I don't like scanning too many posts with the potential for spoilers, but anyway in episode 1 I opted to save the woman. But when I start episode 2, they reference Doug as if he is a survivor. I don't know if I did something wrong or what?

I still have my saved game from the previous episode and also played the very end again before episode 2.

Any suggestions?

I didn't save Carley, but if you don't see Doug in episode 2, then he's dead.

Ok thanks. Maybe I'll just continue and see what's going on. At any rate, you my friend, are the 25% (that didn't save Carly). Lol.

Thanks again.

I figured it out. It was my dumb ass.

I started a new save and then selected episode 2. Instead of selecting my existing save then pressing R1 to select episode 2 (PS3).

Anyone else had this problem?

I'm playing on a macbook.

Just downloaded episode 2 via steam update and my save game starts from the beginning of episode 1.

I do have the option to select a start from episode 2 but it says make random decisions for all episodes skipped?

I've played through all of episode 1 (check my achievements). Not sure why the save game is reverting to the start of episode 1.

Any help appreciated.

Their save system has issues. My 2nd save which was right at the end of Episode 1, somehow ended up at the end of Episode 2 when I loaded it. So I went in and rewound to some point in Episode 1, but it hanged on loading.

Had to shut down the program, and when I came back, my main save, which was post-Episode 2, is now back to Episode 1.

Their save system is just really badly borked right now.

[Baggies]

Is there a fix or should I just restart the game from the beginning?

[M_Lamaudite]

Have you got any answer ? It's really boring… I don't know if I have to start the episode 1 again or just wait for a fix…

[Vainamoinen]

Can't really help much. Still, although I was rather convinced there was a finished save in slot 1 in my game, it turned out that I wrote over it for a game I started later, and that one only went to chapter four. So, are you sure the game in that slot is a finished episode 1? If you try to play it, do you get the "stats" option?

[Baggies]

Thanks for the reply. I don't have the STATS option on my save.

[Vainamoinen]

That means it isn't finished - if you try to start it, what is the last chapter you can start out with? If it's six or seven, it shouldn't be a problem for you to finish this episode again to completion. Are you sure this is some kind of data loss, or did you by any chance make the same mistake I did, saved over it with a new game (which would explain the intact achievements)?

Does anyone else have an issue playing through on a second game? I finished the game on my first game slot. Now when I start either my second or third game slots the game starts at the very end of episode 2.

Save 1 is the original game. Save 2 was a copy I made of save 1 before playing episode 2. Save 3 is a new game that I played through manually.

Also... when I do try to play through and come back to menu both games save 2 and save 3 are indicating they are in episode 2. Whereas the only game I.have actually played throuh episode 2 on permanantly says episode 1. I let it run through every credit and all that. I hope my games are not screwed up... that wouls kill the biggest feature of the game and pretty much ruin the series for me. Does anyone else have this problem?

Platform, please.

[Baggies]

Thanks for your advice.

If I start it the game starts from the beginning again. I've not started the game over again (not deliberately anyway). I might just start episode 2 with the random choices from episode 1. Hopefully I don't have the same problem with episode 3.

Must admit I've not been impressed with my first telltale game experience. It's a great game but this and my mouse issue (another thread) have made it a little disappointing.

[TeribleTee]

Yea, I feel the same way. This is my first Telltale game and the wait for episode 2 was kind of long but I was very excited to play episode 2 last night. Yet, I also had the issue with the save function. Not being able to play through it with the choices you have already made in Ep1. Oh and too many glitches and screens that would freeze or skip to the next scene. It can't be my PS3 it's brand new.

Still managed to finish the episode. Overall, cool I hope they fix and bugs and smooth out the wrinkles in the game series. Ok Time to go play some more.
