Please rename the prefs.prop in
C:\Users\Brahe1\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead
to prefs.prop.bak to deactivate it… more.
Then move the prefs.prop from

Hi, save files not showing up either (Mac). I can't located the prefs.prop file from the 103 folder (last one I completed) so I'm stumped. http://www.sendspace.com/file/wjzhpo
Please do a search on your computer for prefs.prop. You should only have one copy of this file in your save game directory. If you find another copy elsewhere, this needs to be removed. Usually this duplicate file can be found in either a Gamedata folder adjacent to your save directory, or in your installation folder. If you are playing on Steam, you will need to find the Walking Dead game data within your Steam installation folder. If you remove this prefs file, but still experience the issue, then it's possible the duplicate file is being recognized instead of the prefs in your save directory. Please take the duplicate file and move it into your save folder (which will overwrite the existing file). You may want to back-up both of these files before attempting this process, just in case.
Unfortunately, if this does not resolve your issue, then your prefs file has most likely been corrupted. This is rare, but can happen if the save is compromised (for example, if the game crashes during an autosave, or if the game is closed using Task Manager). If this is the case, then the corrupted prefs can no longer be used and should be removed from your computer to prevent any further complications.

Thanks for the advice, but no, a search of my computer using Finder's Find function didn't bring up any other prefs.prop files other than the one in my SteamApps folder. I can see my save files in the folder, just not in game. Moving the prefs.prop out of the SteamApps folder makes the game make a new pref file which again can't see my save files. As I don't use Task Manager (it's a Mac) and the last time I played, the Chapter finished successfully, and I exited via the menu, I'm not sure how my pref file could have been corrupted during a save.

Please go to your ~Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/The Walking Dead folder. Your Library folder is sometimes hidden, to make it visible, please open a Finder window, and at the top of the screen, click Go and hold down the Option key. The Library will now become available in the drop down menu. Click that and follow the above file path. You should have one Prefs.prop file in there. This is the only one you should have for The Walking Dead: Season One. If you have any other prefs.prop files on your computer that you may have backed up, or thrown in the trash, please delete them or rename them to prefs.prop.bak to disable them. Then restart the game, and you should then be able to see your save files.

What else can we try?
There is one pref.prop file on my computer. It is located in the ~Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/The Walking Dead folder.
The last time I played the game, I completed Season 1 Episode 3, was taken back to the main menu, then exited, with no errors reported for crashes.
The next time I opened the game, the save files don't show up in my save file list, but I can see them in the folder.
For added information (not sure if it's relevant), I play on Mac OS 10.8.5, with Steam, with Steam Cloud backups enabled. One thing which I find strange is that even if I rename the only preferences file (in the location specified above), my settings for sound and graphics remain the same when a new prefs.prop file is created. Are there any other preference files for The Walking Dead saved on Mac other than the prefs.prop file? I'm reluctant to touch any other files without your advice, as the game seems to have enough bugs as it is without me personally creating more.

I would recommend trying each of the copies of the prefs.prop file that you've made by moving them to the Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead/ folder, and renaming them to prefs.prop.

I noticed that every time I tried to take reopen the Walking Dead, those old prefs files would be put back into the folder, until I turned off Steam Cloud Backup for the game. However, even after fixing this, none of the prefs.prop files result in showing up the save files, which leads me to believe that the Steam Cloud sync replaced my old file with one of the new, broken ones at some point along the line.

Maybe the game shouldn't be sold via Steam....thanks for your help Mike, I do appreciate it, but that's a pretty bad bug amongst the multitude of others in this game. Steam Cloud is meant to protect my saves, and in this case, it has wrecked them. For the price of this commercial release, I don't think the technical issues have been properly addressed.

If you can, please try rewinding to the previous chapter in Episode 4, and play through the end of the Episode again, and see if you are then able to see the correct characters at the end of the episode.
I've experienced a similar problem. I ended Episode 4 with Christina, Omid, and Kenny. However, when I went to start Chapter 5, it acted like I had gone alone. Also, I can only rewind to Chapter 2 of Episode 4. Tried exiting the game and starting it up again, but no luck. I play on Mac OS X through my steam account. Any help is very much appreciated.

I'm playing on my iPad and finished Ep 4 with everyone coming with me (Kenny, Christa, Omid, and Ben). I started Ep 5 and the "Previously On" showed that Kenny insisted on coming with me (even though during the Ep 4 playthrough he was pissed that I saved Ben) and Christa said I'd have to do it without them. Ep 5 started with just Kenny and I, even though, as said, the whole crew had decided to join me. I don't know if I can run the support scripts on my iPad. Help please!
I apologize. Can you please clarify if after completing the episode, that you watched the credits all the way through before closing/exiting the game? The last choice of Episode 4 will not be recorded properly if you exit the game before the credits finish.

Please also make sure that you are connected to the internet when playing through the end of the episode to ensure your choices are recorded properly.

Yes, I watched them through. I had already completed the Episode but for whatever reason my iPad didn't recognize it (at one point, before I quit and restarted the game, it asked me to install the episode, even though I already had played it through). When the machine realized it was already installed, I replayed from what I presume to be the last checkpoint in Ep 4, watched the credits through, and went right to Ep 5 which is when the problem came up.

Yes, I watched them through. I had already completed the Episode but for whatever reason my iPad didn't recognize it (at one point, before I quit and restarted the game, it asked me to install the episode, even though I already had played it through). When the machine realized it was already installed, I replayed from what I presume to be the last checkpoint in Ep 4, watched the credits through, and went right to Ep 5 which is when the problem came up.
My apologies. My only other suggestion would be to try rewinding a few chapters back in Episode 4, and choose to rewind into a different save slot, then play through Episode 4 all the way, and make sure to watch the credits all the way through, and start Episode 5, and see if your choices are carried over correctly then.
The problem is persisting...when I boot up the game it acts like Ep 4 hasn't been installed, and when I try to install it doesn't work (the message suggests I'm not connected to the internet, but I know for sure that I am). Then I'll quit and the episode shows as installed. Also, I don't see how I can use a new save slot without having the OS randomly generate decisions for me, which is kinda the antithesis of what I want to do.
My apologies, you can choose your current save slot, and then choose a chapter/checkpoint to rewind to, and then it will ask you if you wish to overwrite your previous save, or save the rewind to a new save slot. You can then choose the new save slot to rewind to, and start the Episode from there.
I have the same problem (I watched through the credits), everyone was coming with me, and now I'm alone. I tried to search for those files to rename them but I can't find them on my macbook somehow.
