TWD: All 3 of my saves are gone
I'm on mac playing on the steam version. I just opened the game and it started in a small windowed mode. :mad: my saves are gone :mad:
what could have caused this, is there anything I can do?

I use Windows 7.
Please fix the problem. I dont want to start from the beginning again.
ps: my english is not the best, so i hope you understand everything :rolleyes:
I think if you make 3 save files you lose all of them. So I'm just going to make 2 save files, and rewind in my second save file to play different shit out.
Same exact thing happened to me. I too am on Windows 7, opened game, it started in windowed mode with low resolution, changed the settings to full screen with max resolution, went to download the episode 3 from the game menu but all my saves are not there. It just says "Play" and everything says "new game" with no option to load and no save games visible in game. Yet my saves are all there in the my documents/tell tale games/the walking dead folder. Please someone help! Thank you!
This wouldn't even be half as aggravating if the game wasn't so drawn out and it didn't force you to sit through so much cinematics and dialogue every time.
Before I booted the game back up and found out my saves were reverted or missing, I'd tried to start episode 3, but somehow both it and episode 2 only said 'coming soon'. The save file seemed to know that I'd finished episode 2, though, because it skipped right to episode 3 when I selected the save in the menu.
I wonder if failing to validate that we have the episodes is why it reverts / wipes our saves. Why it would do this, I have no idea. It isn't like some draconian DLC protection, since on PC we all had to buy all the episodes at once, so if we had Ep 1 then obviously we have the rights to all the other ones too.
I'm thinking I should put in for a refund and wait a year or two until they have this thing sorted out.
Also i have the fear that if telltale comes up with a bugfix (yeah sure..), replaying now would overwrite the save (which isn't gone, it's just not recognized by the game..)
Make a backup of your The Walking Dead folder in your My Documents first. Go to your my documents folder\telltale games\the walking dead, "right-click on prefs.prop, click "Properties," then click on the tab called "Previous Versions" and then pick a version of prefs.prop from before the Episode 3 update (at least several days ago, preferably up to two weeks ago)." I for example found one from July 1st, and that's what I chose. Restore it to that previous day. Then load up the game and your most recent save from when you finished Ep 2 should be there, along with your stats.

It's the 11th post down. I can confirm this worked for me when nothing else did!
DUDE!!! This worked for me perfectly thank-you SOOO Much. I was dreading going back through he entire game again in such short order. You made my day!
I have the same problem, It's F***ING boring to do the same story ... has happend 2 times on my side... if I leave the game for more then 10m I have to start form "scratch"... If u at telltale can PLZ fix this... send me a mail, I am not playing anymore before this shit is fixed.
*NERD RAGE*!
Comment #12 saved me, just make sure to read all the directions before starting the process. Including the addition. not sure if it works through steam or mac.
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly well for me. You have no idea how much I was freaking out because I was just at the beginning of ep 5 and my game crashed :eek: SO THANK YOU
