It worked for you aswell Owler ?

BenTheWater · 10/12/2012, 07:37 am

This works fine for me even for episode 4. I finished the game all thanks to his help.

Alex1939 · 10/12/2012, 08:37 am

This did not work for me. The game crashes upon loading now.

Two Days now... and no sucess... hours of downloadstrys and nothing.Than here a possibility to download (I down'ed them manually) and can't get them installed (tempfolder was clean't) cause the Game give me the Connectionerror as soon as I use the Getbutton. No checking or so, allmost instand the connectionerror.. 30 trys now many downloads.. nothing... a what a day.

I did as suggested in this thread and downloaded and copied it manually. And yes, I was able to install episode 4 this way.

BUT - When I wanted to play and loaded the game, the game crashed and after restarting, the game was in the windowed mode, in another resolution and all save games were gone.

I did change the registry as suggested in another thread, but the savegames are still not back. I will try tomorrow to delete the game and the folders etc. and do the registry stuff again.

Does anyone else know how to get the savegames working again?

The easiest way is to copy back the backup.

If you didn't make a backup (why?), you might be able to restore them like this.

Isterio · 10/12/2012, 10:00 am

I guess, I didn't take notice of the backup stuff, because I pressed the link from another thread and there it just said "download the files for the pc and copy them". And that I did.

I solved the issue by following your advice and restoring the folder from yesterday. It works again ... ufff. So thanks for the help.

But seriously .. why wasn't I able to download episode 4? Why didn't TTG fix this? Why do the savegames get lost and I therefore have to make a backup?

gnubelebung · 10/12/2012, 10:00 am

This somewhat worked for me, except most characters are invisible while the rest is missing their eyes. So thanks for the instructions, DjNDB, it was worth a try, but I hope Telltale get their shit together very soon.

I am glad you could restore them.

Make a backup, in case anything ever happens again.

You can also try installing Episode 4 again using the instructions in the first post of this thread.
I don't know why some people lose their savegames.
I also hope it gets fixed though.

MrGrinch · 10/12/2012, 10:31 am

If you get a crash using the work-around then right click on the WalkingDead104 folder you copied the files in to and make sure to untick read only (after copying the files in), when it asks if you want to apply the settings to all folders and files within that folder, then you should agree.

The game seems to have trouble booting for me otherwise and throws up an error.

Worked for me anyway.

Blanol · 10/12/2012, 01:16 pm

Worked like a charm on my PC (episode 4)

Thanks a lot !!!

ingyleeds · 10/12/2012, 03:26 pm

So...any update from TT about a fix? you know, for the game i paid for ?

Same here. I click get and I get the error. There ist however no f**ing way that my connection is lost since there is not one single problem in anything else. Shame on you TTG to deliver such crap downloader. Never had such problems before - why did you change the system?

Shanksworthy · 10/12/2012, 06:57 pm

Nope, this didn't work. I downloaded the Ep3 files, cleared the temp directory, and ran the game and selected get. It immediately told me there was a connection failure. Tried it 5 more times, same problem. Re-deleted the temp folder -- re-did all the other steps -- no dice.

Now apparently on top of it all, my savegames are gone. I'll restore from the backup, but I have a sick feeling that I've just plunked down my hard-earned money for only 2 episodes.

Hebe · 10/12/2012, 07:53 pm

I tried this a few times. Had to delete the .json files after saving all and the 'ingame' download said 'installed'. I attempted to play and the graphics loaded with corrupt static like graphics. Audio had Lee telling Larry's daughter she isn't coming with them. The game began to load and I see Lee in the middle of the courtyard with his arms stretched out (hands at shoulder level- spread eagle) same for another fellow facing the building and Duck's dad at the corner (arms down) staring at the corner of the building. Can't play...

Shanksworthy · 10/12/2012, 08:37 pm

I finally managed to download ep 3. DjNDB, I think your manual d/l method is missing a file for Ep3 -- I tried the automatic method and it d/l'd one extra file. Regardless, thanks for the workaround!

Frustratingly though, all of my savegames are gone! I tried to restore from my backup, but it didn't work for some reason. Then I went back to a system restore point from yesterday when it was definitely working, and my savegames are *still* not loading. And yet I see all of my saved games sitting in the directory. How is this even possible?!

Mikael.h1 · 10/12/2012, 11:58 pm

It didn't work for me on my PC. I followed the instrucions and it did say installed, but I closed the game to delete the temp file and when I started the game it was back to the usual get no connection failure debacle.

You delete the FILE inside the temp folder and NOT the TEMP FOLDER. I think this is why it's not working for you

You MUST delete temp file BEFORE entering the game

Thanks for the info. TTG updated and added some files for the earlier episodes. I just updated the links for EP2 and EP3 to the latest versions.

That makes it more complicated to keep this working for the manual download.
The automatic download always uses the latest .json files, and therefore doesn't need that kind of maintenance. I'll have to think about what to do about that.

The savegames should work the way you restored them.
If you still see the save files, and the savegames don't show in the game, that's usually an issue with the prefs.prop being overwritten. Since you restored all the files, it doesn't make any sense. Did the game launch with default settings after you restored the backup?
