Bought it yesterday. I better back that save up!
It doesn't matter, all my save files are still there, the game just refuses to see them.

Yes, it does. I really don't understand why Telltale refuses to address this issue. It's not like people are going to forget about it.

Eventually people will give up and just move on and I'm sure that's what Telltale is counting on.
So the problems mostly seem to come from the game not updating both prefs.prop files at the same time (and using two prefs.prop files to begin with). I'm not a programmer, but that shouldn't be that big of a problem...
They're counting on people not buying their next game?
This only affects a small portion of all players. It's still worth playing and hopefully you'll be able to complete it.
Eh, fair enough.People will buy their next game. I mean do you see all the people calling this GOTY?
Aren't there telltale folks on gaf?
Why not just pm them or tweet them?
They did that...2 months ago...still nothin.At least a "we're working on it, sorry guys!" would've been decent of them.

Hi,\r\n\r\nFirst thing to try is reloading Steam.\r\n\r\nLet me know,\r\nKatrina
Worst customer support I've ever experienced with a games company.
What does r\n\r\n stand for?
They're supposed to be new empty lines.What does r\n\r\n stand for?
What does this mean? Is there no problem if you never quit the game (assuming it never crashes) and you finish it in one go?Yeah, the save problems shouldn't be much of a problem anymore since the Season is done and there won't be any major additions.
I bought the whole Season from Steam and played episode 1 yesterday afternoon and some of episode 2 last night. I think some of my decisions have been forgotten/changed, multiple times during Ep 1 it saidand now during Ep 2 he's complaining that I never helped him out :/Kenny will remember your loyalty

Is this only a problem with the Steam version?
I wonder if it has something to do with where you bought it from?
I bought it directly off Telltales web site. Unlike the steam version, there were no automatic updating of episodes. There is a menu option called "downloadable content" right under play. You have to select episodes 2-5 to download. Nothing automatically downloads and there is no way to download more than one. I started playing last week. That's my normal mo for Telltale games. I was past episode 3 when I tried to download episode 5. In game it popped up with "an unknown error has occurred. Restart the application". I restarted not only the game but my computer as well. Was able to download episode 5. I have no saved games. I started replaying the game, had to exit after episode 2. Yesterday, I went back in and .... no saved games. Now it appears the game isn't saving at all. I'm going to try deleting TWD, removing all directories and registry entries related to the game, and re-installing.
I love Telltale, and TWD is their best game yet, but this is really putting me off.
I just got to episode five, it crashed, it doesn't recognize my save.

1. To fix this you'll need a time stamp editor so Google, download and install (here are some timestamp programs; I used the second from the bottom http://code.google.com/p/stexbar/downloads/list ).
2. Locate where the saves are actually found (My Documents\Tell Tale\Walking Dead)
3. Create a backup folder and transfer all your saves to it.
4. Create a new game in the Episode you were on and play until it saves.
5. Quit and check the folder, you should see a new save.
6. Write down the last modified date of this new save file (to the second).
7. Go into your backup folder and find your latest save.
8. Right-Click > Properties > Time Stamp.
9. Change the time of this file to match the new save exactly.
10. Rename old save to match the newly created Save game and replace (ie. if the new save is save_6.sav rename the save you want to use to this and replace the new one).
Your game will now see your save fine.
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU TELLTALE.
After restarting the series and getting halfway through Episode 2 it just did it again. I start the game and it immediately crashes to desktop. Then I start it again and it comes up in windowed mode and all my setting are reset and it doesn't see the saved games.
8. Right-Click > Properties > Time Stamp.
