Telltale Games

Marsallah · 10/22/2012, 10:22 pm

So I had some time yesterday and decided to replay the whole game, making different choices than in my original game. I wanted to keep my current game as it is, though.

I had to saves (used only 2nd one, though), so I went to third (unused) save slot and pressed "start a new game". I wasn't taken to the beginning of EP 1, though - I was made to rewind game till the very beginning.

After some time, I checked save slots and realized my 2nd and main save was overwritten by the new game I started. There's no problem in me going through all the episodes again, but I regret not being able to resume my game with original choices I made once EP is available.

So, is it a bug or do you have to recite a magic spell to start a completely new game?

What Platform are you playing on? If it's PC or Mac, here are some ways of restoring lost savegames.

Please take a look at the save slot sticky thread in this forum which can be found HERE.

Thanks Matt.

I actually read that your post in that thread yesterday when I found out my thread has been moved to the support forum. Up until then, I didn't realize that there is such a subforum at all.

I have to remember to exit the game through the main menu then, OK. I always exit any game I play by turning off the console altogether while playing, so that was probably the reason why I was unable to start a new game in the third slot.
