If you are running in Windows XP, take the following steps:
1) Exit Steam.
2) Go to the "Start" menu, select "Run", type "regedit" and click "OK".
3) Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE
4) Right click and select "Permissions"
5) Check the "Allow" boxes for "Admin" and "System" for both "Full control" and "Read".

The remaining steps apply to all versions of Windows.

Please also verify the GCF for this game as outlined here:

Note: Files may fail to verify. This is normal and can be ignored.

Then test the issue.

If you still have difficulty, you may also need to manually run secondary installers required by this game.

Exit Steam entirely.

Browse to your The Walking Dead: Season Two installation folder (Usually C:\Program files\Steam\Steamapps\common\The Walking Dead Season Two)

Run the following installers:

     ...\Steamapps\common\The Walking Dead Season Two\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe

Reboot your computer and test the issue again
