Telltale Games

jnorman1998 · 01/14/2013, 08:23 pm

I'm not sure if anyone out there has had this experience or not, but I have a very important question. I had to totally re-install my computer recently (to its original factory settings as if I had just bought it) and although I had backup files of everything, I can't figure out where "The Walking Dead" game is among those files. I had already finished through Chapter 2 before the re-installation, so I would like to continue play where I left off if possible. Is there anything I can do, or do I just need to re-download the game and start from scratch? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

It depends on whether you backed up the required files.

Here are the usual savegame locations.
Normal locations:
Win Vista/7: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead
XP: %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead

Exceptions:
If you run TWD in compatibility mode for win95 or win98/me it might save to:
%PUBLIC%\Documents\Telltale Games\GameData
or
%PUBLIC%\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead

Thanks DjNDB for your time. I use an HP Pavillion P6000 series computer, and when I try to access my backup files, it starts with only a "D-OS" folder option, then I see the following folders: "hp", "MSOCache", "Program Files", "Program Data", "SWSETUP", "System.SAV", "Users", and "Windows". I have looked thoroughly through each of these folders, which all just seem to lead to more and more folders. I am so tired of looking. :-( I thought making back-up disks and executing a back-up recovery program would have allowed me to access the files in the same place that I had before the re-installation, but it appears that is not the case. Very frustrating.

What program did you use to create the Backup, and what configuration did you set up?
