Thank you, it seems that you do not meet the minimum system requirements to run the game. You can try closing all other programs on your computer and then restarting, but there is no guarantee it will work. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I'm having the same problem now. Here's a link to mine if anyone can help.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M on my laptop, and it seems like the dxdiag isn't showing it up, it is just showing the Intel HD Graphics 4000. However, I try to use the GT 730M on TWDS2, and It gives me the same error
It doesn't seem to be showing up in your DxDiag, you may need to make sure your second card is activated. If you need assistance on how to activate the card, please contact Dell Support. Once you've activated the card, please make sure it is being used as the primary card on your system.

I somehow doubt that Season 2 minimum settings requires more dedicated memory than Season 1 at highest settings. Something must be up with the dxdiag. This is the only game I have on Steam that does this, and most of my buddies are having the same problem. I was thinking maybe my graphics card wasn't being recognized as was the case with MelloTheRipper, but then I booted up The Witcher 2, and it had no problem running on high settings. Does that mean that The Walking Dead Season 2 isn't reading my graphics card?

As soon as I hit play, it IMMEDIATELY just tells me that TheWalkingDead2.exe has stopped working, so I can't even get into the game to change the settings, so I have no idea where to even begin. I've even tried all the little fixes I see people throwing about, but nothing obvious or simple is working.
On Windows 8 the game crashes if joysticks/gamepads are connected. That bug is fixed in Windows 8.1, available for free in the Windows 8 Store.
If you don't want to upgrade yet, you can try an unofficial workaround. In short, by downloading and extracting this zip file, and copying the dinput8.dll next to the games .exe, you should be able to use the controller normally. Make sure you delete that dinput8.dll after updating to Windows 8.1, to avoid possible problems in the future.
More importantly though you have two graphics chips. Intel chips don't work well with TTG's games and they might crash. Please check your graphics drivers settings to make sure the game uses the Nvidia graphics chip.

Same issue here, I get the "TheWalkingDead2.exe has stopped working" error message right after I hit the icon of the game, all I got is a black screen for a second, then a crash. I have no additional controller or whatsoever and I hadn't got any problems with Season 1....

Please reinstall the game to a path that only contains the characters a-z. The game doesn't work with some characters, especially umlauts and that might be true for diacritics too.

Dude, your graphics setting may be the problem. Me and many others changed ours from low to high and, surprisingly, it helped.

Having the same problem here. Please help. ):
Yes this is what I did. It helped, thank you.
It seems your dedicated memory is below the minimum system requirements to run the game. I apologize for the inconvenience.
If you can please provide a DxDiag following the steps above, I can attempt to assist you with your issue.

Some specs if it helps:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M - 2048 MB, Core: 835 MHz, Memory: 1250 MHz, 9.18.13.697, Optimus
I put it on minimal settings because I knew I had a crappy laptop. But I turned it on high and it works fine, go figure.

I made it a habit to search for Nvidia and AMD in any dxdiag with intel graphics.

No problem.
It was totally my Dualshock 4 still connected through bluetooth. Thank you! What a strange problem that was.
I had the crash and what worked for me is setting it into Windows 7 compatibility mode (Windows 8.1 Preview(!) still, so that might be the issue)
