TWD OSX Episode 3 stuck at 99.50% - HELP
I have noticed through a few threads that people are complaining of the OSX Episode 3 download stopping at 99.50%, as my download has, and after some hang time (30-45 minutes) crashes the application.
From other threads this occurred in Episode 2.
I did not have this problem, although I did have download issues for Episode 2.
Perhaps we can keep the issues isolated to their own threads so they can be better managed by TT support staff.
If you have the 99.50% issue (as opposed to random percentage download crashes) please list in this thread.

Funny thing, its the application that hangs not the download, if I turn off my internet it does not register but it does before 99.50%
Damn Telltale....
Another rock-solid Telltale release.
This is what solved it for me:
It went into graphic settings and turned everything to low or off (anti-aliasing, the screen resolution, shadow, etc.). I also made it full screen (it wasn't before).
Suddenly the download now comes in at a phenomenal speed, and completed at 100% in no time.
Try it yourself. I hope it works for you.
Alfredo! Sir! You are a genius!
Doing as you said worked and fixed it for my iMac!
I am finally able to play episode 3!
Well done and a big thank you!
I have no idea how you figured this one out!
Still stuck at 99.50%.
Why cant it load to 5% before it stops, 99.50% is torture......
Telltale can go fuck themselves.
This problem existed with episode 2 as well. I gather Telltale has put it on the 'suck it, Mac users!' list, as it will magically just fix itself once the game is released on DVD and we don't have to download episodes.
I am really hoping that we get better communication this time.
Oh well, no work for TT on weekends so I guess I give up for a couple of days.
You just got lucky...
The game MUST be in full-screen mode for the ENTIRE duration of your download. You must NOT be looking in another window or have a browser open DO NOT leave it to download in the background. DO NOT cmd+tab into another window. Doing any of these things WILL make it crash before it reaches 100% EVERY TIME (this is what those whose downloads fail at 40 to 50% or whatever might be doing).
So:
1) All graphics and screen resolution set to LOW or OFF.
2) Game full screen, on the screen, for the entire time of the download
I hope this works for you, but Telltale really should fix it properly.
Which they won't do, because they absolutely suck.
Restart imac, nothing else running, 640*480 full screen, all graphics set to low/off.
Tried both download from main menu or from within save game a number of times.
Each and every time, regardless of combination, I get to 99.50%.
Telltale this has been a very disappointing experience from Episode 2 and now Episode 3.
I agree with RexHunt, no more preordering, wait for the completed game, just not worth the grief.
1. I disabled all antivirus and internet security (I have MacKeeper installed).
2. Went to Settings>Security>Firewall and added TheWalkingDead app to allow all incoming connections.
3. Opened the app, allowed it to update in the background at the first screen, turned everything to low/off, resolution 640x480, stayed full screen during the download.
(I don't know if it matters but I didn't go to Download Content. Instead I hit Play and then Get, at the Episode 3 screen.)
Hope it helps.
Telltale: 99.50% again. Please fix this.
Here is what I have done so far:
- full screen off, all graphics to low or off.
- full screen off, all graphics to low or off, no internet until hit the "get" button.
- full screen on, all graphics to low or off.
- full screen on, smallest resolution posible, all graphics to low or off, all programs closed, nobody else using my internet.
- After getting 99.50%, try again, and again... and again.
- I've even sang a song to the game to see if that helps and nothing!
I really hate Telltale, they should worry about the happiness of all their clients! we are not demanding a better story, or a better game play... we are demanding to PLAY the $%^& game, a game we all bought because we thought that it was going to be awesome... I am really disappointing.
I know that a lot of people have been trying to contact Telltale for a while to tell about this problem and that they have answer "we are working on a solution"... Well that solution, I'm pretty sure, would never arrive.
I hope someone finds a solution for Mac and PC!
Mine was all set to the highest quality graphics in windowed mode during the download when I got it to work for me so I don't believe any of this matters. Looks like you've just got to get lucky. I'd advice to keep trying until the download looks like it's going faster than usual from the beginning, if it's going at the usual speed, restart and try again until it appears to be going faster then leave it and it should make it past the 99.50%
Bugger. I did this in the wrong order, and took a crap first before brushing my teeth! I'll have to wait until my next bowel movement to try and download it.
