I'm gonna be "that" guy and post this
I've gotta say, this is kinda pathetic. I am unable to play the season finale that is raved about everywhere I look because Telltale has yet to fix a bug that has been here since episode 2.
As some of you may or may not be aware, there is a huge bug that causes your saved game files to not be read. So all of your saves are there....But can't be accessed.
There's been several workarounds put out by people having the problem, but none of them are working anymore. The file that reads the saves is updating automatically when I change it so I can't even fix it myself now.
I'd post this thread in support, but Telltale is too busy receiving awards to glance at the place. So now me and several, possibly hundreds or thousands with this problem get to sit around and wait for a fix for a problem that hasn't even been acknowledged by Telltale.
This is probably going to get moved because they don't want people to think Telltale isn't perfect, but at least don't pretend this isn't a big problem.
From this ex-fan to the developers: Stop patting yourself on the back and finish your job, or give me and everyone else a full refund.
I paid for The Walking Dead the video game, not 4 episodes, a cliff-hanger, and 2 months of mind-numbing frustration with people I don't even know.
Rant = Over

"Better addressed".
ha.
"Your save files are corrupted and probably not recoverable, look for a workaround"
^Telltale's only comment and fix
Maybe if they realize that this is actually a PROBLEM and work to solve it, they won't be recognized as the single worst customer support group as of this year. (They're winning out over Ubisoft, that's an accomplishment)
Sometimes, just for fun, I like to barge into a cancer ward and scream "I DONT HAVE CANCER, BITCHES!"
Lol.
The problem is usually caused by re-installing the game, or performing a verify on your game cache via Steam, which replaces prefs.prop with a default/blank file.
Deleting the file causes it to use the prefs.prop stored with your saves, rather than the Walking Dead game directory.
If that fails to work, copy the prefs.prop file from your saves directory into your game directory. (but you shouldn't have to do that)
If you no longer have your original prefs.prop from your saves directory, then you might be in trouble.
