Crash in SBCG4AP Ep. 2 (Wii)
****Spoiler warning, just in case****
I was just playing Strong Badia the Free and exploring/messing around with stuff. I went to the photo booth, put a bunch of stuff on, and went to leave. As the screen was going black, it stopped with maybe 15 degrees or so left and froze. I couldn't get to the Home menu or anything except hold the console power button until the Wii turned off. This was all pretty soon after escaping the house-I did a bunch of stuff by the fence/Cheat and went to the car and then the booth. I can't remember all of the clothes, but I think it was basically all the Homestar stuff, the eyepatch, the champ belt, and the moustache.
I also found a couple of minor glitches. After digging up the shirt to the left of the fence, a random dug up spot appeared in front of the Cheat where nothing was buried. I can probably snap a shot and send it to myself if you want. Also, I leveled up before leaving the house (and thus before getting the map), and the Map icon appeared and looked clickable, but didn't do anything.

Also, another minor glitch: if Strong Bad is doing one of his minor talks (where he doesn't stop moving) after putting on a piece of clothing and you make him move, he will glide without moving his feet while he is talking. It's kind of funny actually.
Edit: By the way, I'm not in widescreen, which I know was a problem for people with Episode 1. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Edit 2: I just did it again with only the secret shirt, and it worked fine, so it most likely has to do with the clothing items I had on.
OK, I'll see what I can do. I didn't feel like narrowing it down last night because I was more interested in actually playing, but at some point I'll try going piece by piece and see what crashes it.
OK. I did try a couple things already, though. It's something involving the Homestar clothes (head, pants, shoes, and shirt), in some combination. It involves the head in some way, because I tried the head on its own and the pants, shirt, and shoes together, and both worked fine. When I added the head to the other three, though, it crashed again. So it seems like either the head and one or two others, or all 4 together. Hopefully you'll be able to figure it out more concretely.
I also had it freeze on me this morning just after saving (atleast it said it had been saved; I hope it didn't crash WHILE saving); I had had my King defeated in the castle version of the G&G board and needed to save to take off.
Next, I rushed through most of the dialog and stuff, tried to save before playing the board game, and it crashed as it was saying "Game Saved". Unfortunately, it didn't actually save yet.
Then, I tried again, saving periodically. It was fine until I played the board game again. I went straight for the hat, quit, and tried to save, and I got the crash as it was saving again.
Edit: Just tried again, went for the hat, quit, and this time it crashed as it was going back to show Strong Bad.
Edit Again: I gave it one more shot, and it quit when I tried to save again. Then, I just decided to finish it and go for a low score or whatever later. I beat the game, and just after the KOT said "Ah, crap" it crashed again.
Thankfully, I just was able to beat it, get the hat, and get through the credits without it crashing, but I just hope you can figure out what's causing the problem, because it's very annoying.
Oh, and another bug I found: If the Cheat attacks Homestar on the Open Field (or whatever the beret one is), it will show him losing and moving back a square, then show him getting the hat, but when it goes back to the board, he is on the Open Field again standing with Homestar.
I'm experiencing a major game ending crash that is preventing me from finishing Episode 2.
After I complete the Maps and Minions game, the cutscene between Strongbad and The king of town begins. Right after strongbad leaves, when the king realizes he's been tricked, he says "Oh Crap"
The moment he says this, my Wii totally locks up, preventing me from completing the game.
I've tried the 4:3 setting trick (I always use widescreen) that helped with the Coach Z glitch in Ep. 1, that didn't work. I've tried Erasing and re-downloading the game again from the Wii shop channel, that didn't work. I've tried to skip through the cutscene fast by mashing the B trigger, and that didn't work.
I've re-played the M&M game a good 6 times, hoping it would finally work, but it crashes each time in the same place.
As you can imagine, I'm not happy at all. I've payed 10$ for a game I can't complete due to a major bug, and that's not right. So far I've loved the first 2 episodes and I want the other 3, but only If I can actually complete the games without bugs stopping me.
Thanks,

Amos, when exactly is the game crashing? Only on save, or is it consistently crashing somewhere else?
Doesn't it autosave the game at that point too, though (for Extended Play)? When my game crashed after the "Oh crap" I don't remember seeing the "Game Saved" thing pop up, but I could have just not noticed it. I'm just thinking maybe it could still be a saving issue, but that's just speculation.
I was just trying to help u pinpoint where it begins. I hope u understood this because it doesn't sound right to me and that is the only crash I've noticed.
As for the autosave, I'm pretty sure it doesn't autosave until after the credits, but before the episode preview.
I am absolutely loving Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People. I have already bought and completed the first episode for the Wii, and I am now playing through the second episode for the Wii, Strong Badia the Free.
Unfortunately I'm stuck due to a glitch - this is the fourth time in a row this has happened so I wanted to ask if there is a fix for this. Everytime I win at the Maps and Minions game and get the KoT back to his castle, the game freezes right after the cutscene (right after Strong Bad says "I wonder if my new Limozeen game has come out" and the KoT realizes he's been duped). It always freezes at that exact point.
I've also noticed that if I try to save right before the Maps and Minions game (that is, after sending the KoT the tax email), the game will also freeze.
If it changes anything (and I doubt it), every time I've beaten the Maps and Minions game it was with what I believe is a perfect score (8 turns)
Oh. Also, the game freezed for me when I tried to leave the Photo Booth early in the game (I was still wearing a costume; it does not freeze if I take off all of the costume pieces before hand).
And, I'm not in widescreen mode. I bring it up because I heard there were some glitches with that in episode 1.
Please let me know what I can do to get around this glitch (preferably without losing saved data). Thank you.
Looks like I'm not the only one suffering from this bug.
Has any progress been made here?
Out of curiosity, is normal to leave the photo booth with a costume on? Because that happened, and now I'm worried that it has something to do with the crash. I am wearing:
that brown mustache
no shirt
those army pants
cheeseboy said something about the mustache in his post, so I think it has something to do with this freeze.
EDIT: I just removed all of strongbad's costume parts and tried to save again. It worked perfectly. Apparently, it has to do with the costumes.
I also did have it freeze in the photo booth upon exiting. I don't remember the details of the costume. I can live without that part of the game though.
When it freezes, I can't get to the Wii Menu, the reset button does not work, and the power button does not work.
I'll watch here for an update as well. Thank you for attending to this!
1) My computer did a "Physical Dump of Memory" right as it shows the picture of the Homestarmy and the "You can do it!" or whatever it says there. I played it again and it worked, but it was a bit strange.
2) This has happened twice in a row now. My Computer did another "Dump" after I beat the M&M game, but not when the KoT says "oh crap", but when it says Victory when you've gotten him back to the Castle space in M&M. It dumps around 5 seconds after it says victory.
Any Suggestions?

To DoubleOzero,
Heh, that's cool, yet also odd. I already had my game copied to SD card at the time of the freezing, so looks lke that won't work for everyone.
"Sometimes, when in Extended Play, attempting to save to Slot 3 will result in the game freezing, buzzing and require a hard reset."
I was thinking this issue could be related to the issue people in this thread were having, because it would make sense in my case. My brother used Slot 2 and had no issues, but I had Slot 3 when I had all my issues. Was anybody else in this thread using Slot 3? That could help Telltale narrow down the source of the problem if that's something everybody has in common.
I don't know why it would have an issue during autosave, since that's Slot 1 by default, but maybe it happens if you are using a file loaded from Slot 3.
