Walkingdead101.exe has stopped working

edited September 2013 in Game Support

Hello, I can't play the game. When i try to play it, the game just crushed with that message (Walkingdead101.exe has stopped working). I follow the instruction (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/discussion/44150), here is the download link http://www.sendspace.com/file/cgte7o.

Thanks (sorry for the mistakes, english is not my mother tongue)

    Please check if the game crash creates an entry in the
    event viewer in the "Windows Logs/Application" section.
    If so, right click the entry, select "copy the details as text", and paste them in a new reply.

    Please check the properties of the Steam.exe, your Steam icons, and the games .exe files, and disable any compatibility mode settings.
    Sometimes compatibility mode is checked, but is grayed out. Then you have to click on "Change settings for all users" at the bottom to disable the checkbox.
    Afterwards try if the game works.

    I am not sure what causes it. I noticed your Windows is not installed to c:, but I don't know if that's a problem for the game.
    please delete the prefs.prop files from:
    H:\Documents and Settings\walton\My Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead
    and
    F:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steamapps\common\The Walking Dead\Pack\default

    Then verify the game cache files and try if the game works.

    If it doesn't, please check if it starts if you are disconnected from the internet.

    Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)
    Monitor Max Res: 1600,1200

    This might also be a problem, so please set the display resolution to 1600x1200.

    I deleted the prefs files and verified the content.

    My monitor is a widescreen 1080p monitor, so I'm not sure where "Monitor Max Res: 1600x1200" is coming from.

  • For what it's worth, the game starts up, goes through the Telltale splash screen, then gets to the Walking Dead title screen. When I click the "click to continue" button is when it crashes.

    For shiggles, I put the game into windowed mode, and then noticed that when it failed in windowed mode, it displays the connecting message.

    This is quite onerous, and brings questions to mind:

    • What is it trying to connect to? If disabling the network connection is the "fix," then it obviously doesn't need to connect to whatever that is.

    • Why is there not a software fix for this? This seems like a pretty drastic workaround.

    That is a very weird issue I analyzed in January and it turned out to be a bug on some Mainboards.
    For two people updating the BIOS helped, so that's the first thing I would try.

    That's a shame, cause it's the only fix I found so far. I am not sure if it can help too, but the last resort is trying to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  • Since this is regarding a "connection" issue, I should point out that I use a USB WiFi adapter, not the onboard ethernet connection. Not sure if that might contribute.

    I don't know, but you can try unplugging it and connecting via cable.
