First time i decided to buy direct from you seems be the last again steam from here on out!! Even people who downloaded cracked version losing you money can play thanks for nothing
Bought it on gmg and thought I will get a steam key, but I didnt, then I tried to play it the "normal way" without steam and it does not work, Why? I payed for the game so I wanna play it. Please give me a steam key and everything will be fine.

I'm having the same problem too. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed about not being able to play, but the fact is Telltale's game servers are going to be getting more simultaneous connections today than they are likely to get at any other time until, well, the release day of The Walking Dead Season 3, and it would be pretty tough financially for them to manage a server backbone / software network capable of handling what's being asked of it today, only to have half of it's capacity sitting idle the other 364 days of the year. I know people are questioning the need for a single-player game to connect to their servers at all, but the social aspects and data redundancy of a connected single player experience is becoming what people expect from today's games, and it would be a tough call for Telltale to buck those trends just to avoid some occasional server SNAFUs.
I know it's cold comfort for the superfans who scheduled their day around this release only to be disappointed, but I'm pretty sure in a month from now we'll all be thinking about the fun we had playing this game, not server errors the first day we tried to log on.
Season 2 will look for Seasaon 1 saves in this location:
PC:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Telltale Games\WalkingDead
Mac:
~/Library/Applica… moretion Support/ Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead
Season 2 will only find save games for completed episodes from Season 1.
It wont be transported, Steam saves on cloud not on PC. The season two game tries to find it from your PC not from the steam cloud so it never finds your saves or your decisions. This sucks.

Here is what should happen. On day 1 of release they turn off signing in to play. Then if they feel the need to have people sign in do it after the mad rush. Pirates are going to pirate it no matter what you put in place to stop it. Stop screwing over the people who pay for games.

I have tried all the "suggestions" but I still receive Can´t Communicate to connect to the Telltalle servers error.
Logged to Web and run game, Logged out and run game. Used ALT+F4 to close each time too. Alternated beetween user name and email address and no luck.
We are currently looking into the server connection issue, I apologize for the inconvenience. In the mean time I have a few suggestions you ca… moren try to fix the issue:
Please try launching The Walking Dead again, and you should be able to login after a few attempts. You may want to try alternating between your Username and Email address. If you have played The Walking Dead Season 1 and are now trying to play Season 2, but your account fails to login, please select Sign Out, and log in again. If the game fails to authenticate, Exit the game and relaunch. You should now be able to connect without having to login.
Please also make sure your password ONLY contains a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 and no other characters. If you have any "!" or "&" or any other different characters, please change your password on our website, and you should then be able to then login to The Walking Dead.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
I bought my game from Gamefly and it's page said at the time:"Steam required." You would assume that it was a Steam copy. WRONG! Now I'm stuck with this server nonsense. What a waste of money...
God almighty. Same for me. What is it with people these days - buy something and it doesn't work. DRM stinks. TTG, what are you doing about this? You can at least suspend the sale of the game through your site as nobody can bloody play the thing.
Still, you have to connect to the internet for playing offline.
Mistakes are easily made. Underestimating server capacity is forgivable. Screwing paying users by faulty security measures isn't. You can't do this to customers. When I buy a game, I get treated like a potential criminal going through all kinds of security measures. When I pirate a game, I don't.
Well, fuck them (telltale) too. Bullying paying customers won't do them good. This might very well be the last game I bought from them. (Unless it would be a yet unreleased sam&max ofcourse.)
This is an embarrassment. This is the very reason people pirate games/movies. It's quicker and easier.
I for one got Season One on the Humble Bundle Sale and felt bad for how little I paid for such a brilliant game. But now after paying full price for a game that I haven't been able to play for hours after installing, I feel cheated as a customer. Especially knowing that pirates are playing with no issues. I am very disappointed in you TTG.
Perhaps in the future you should release DRM free games and leave a donate option inside the game menu. This way your paying customers won't be screwed and who knows maybe even pirates have hearts and will feel guilted into paying.
Seriously, what the hell. Stop punishing your customers with DRM. There shouldn't be any log-in required for this game at all.
If, for some m… moreade up reason, you can't do that, use something that works -- like Steam. Just give out Steam keys. This is bullshit. (Yeah, yeah, first world problems, I know, but I payed and waited for the game and now my friends are playing it and I am not, because they bought it on Steam and I'm stuck here...)

I'm as patient as they come but having waiting this time already with friends playing who bought directly through Steam for more just annoys the shit out of me.
Not only that but I bought this twice for me and the other half and I'm sat here like "Ummm, yeah we can't play yet sorry".
I'd quite like my Steam key now please, your support have said you're not able to but I call bullshit tbh.
screw this, I'm buying the steam version, and when TTG support gets to me, I'm demanding a Steam key to 'Wolf Among Us' as that's the only game from TTG I don't have and I doubt Gamefly will give me a refund.
Seriously????
You are telling us to weaken our password because technicly you are so bad you cannot handle ? or ! or others caracters?
Whoa, it's... how don't know how to say it because it is so bad.
When I remember that you dont care about adding a simple keybinding menu in season one (in one all fucking year!) and it bother me for the all fucking play, I cant remember why I bought season 2 instead of pirating it.
Shame on you.
HELL, THERE IS NOT A EVEN A FUCKING WAY TO EXIT THE GAME WHEN WE ARE STUCK WE THER SERVER CONNECTION! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??????

lesson is dont buy direct as company cant run a server for clients.total bull.I never even got a email saying it was ready for download etc as promised .Then i found out i cant activate via steam(i can live with that but still not happy,kept looking for key to redeem)
Way to follow up on being awarded and praised by totally messing up your launch beyond minor issues....cant even log in? thats the biggest insult to a buyer.

I was the same. they should have told us it wasn't for steam, then I wouldn't have bothered

Just my 2 cents, anyway.
But in steam, it saves on cloud. So the game doesn't know how to find the saves from the cloud, because my saves aren't in that folder.

Ups, accidently down voted the post, sorry mate![:\](https://community.telltalegames.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
you are kidding, right? that was the whole reason of buying season 2

Yeah, it doesn't work on steam. Steam community is exploding because the game doesn't find the save files from the season one.
Having the same problem. Sucks to have to go through this, especially for a single player game.
Still, you have to connect to the internet for playing offline.

Mine stops here.

It works on steam but It doesn't fetch your saves from season 1.
No less than tried 65 times switching username and email address still no joys
Same here.
I guess everyone has to deal with it. I'll try again later maybe.
I'm as patient as they come but having waiting this time already with friends playing who bought directly through Steam for more just annoys the shit out of me.

They did.
I prefer that insted of can't play at all.
Why is this nonsense still not fixed?
I haven't been able to connect yet but Steam most certainly saves to your HDD. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to load games in offline mode.
screw this, I'm buying the steam version, and when TTG support gets to me, I'm demanding a Steam key to 'Wolf Among Us' as that's the only game from TTG I don't have and I doubt Gamefly will give me a refund.
Not working for me either. I get the same error. I'd imagine it'd be fixed by tomorrow... but I don't want to wait until tomorrow...
I'm gonna make a video about it
Seriously????

As someone who has been a loyal customer for many years, this is absolutely terrible.
We shouldn't have to put up with this DRM nonsense.
and now the game wont launch at all. thewalkingdead.exe has stopped working? I haven't had any system changes? what a wreck. I'll try later tonight.
Give users with have this problem Steam Key or their money back. Nice and easy solution to this Problem.

Same issue here. "Can't communicate with Telltale Servers".
Ludicrous it boggles the mind as to why Telltale didn't just release steam keys.
that's why people download pirated copies -.- Honest people suffer
Steam takes 30%, that's why.
Only selected games on steam save on cloud, and even there they also save on your hdd.
The security measures arent the problem here, its obviously a underestimating of the needed server capacity for a smooth launch...
