TWD Episode 2 Black Screen/Axe Help Plz!
Hey guys, this is yet again another attempt to find help to fix this issue that I, and others still seem to be having. I have the steam version on Windows 7 and I atleast meet the minimum requirements across the board. I have contacted telltale games' incompetent support crew who have yet to find a solution for me or reimburse me for that matter... Anyway, I can play episode 1 and 3 just fine, but everytime I go to play episode two it fails to load the "previously on the walking dead" clip and instead displays a black screen with the axe icon on the left side. All the while the music from the end of episode 1 plays. I have tried verifying the cache files, a fresh install, new saves, and virtually everything that I have found on the forums... The weird thing is that I was able to play episode 2 in its entirety once before. The problem didn't occur until after I went to play another save. This makes me think that for some reason the "previously on the walking dead" clip fails to load for episode 2 after having been activated a previous time... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because the support staff has failed me... They told me that my graphics card and processor could use an upgrade and left it at that... The fact that the game runs smoothly with virtually no video hiccups and the fact that I was able to play all three episodes makes me think that the problem is with the program... (I have checked and can replay both episodes 1 and 3). Thanks!

EDIT: Im also running the game in compatibility mode with 98/ME due to the walkingdead101.exe bug.
I tried deleting the saves from within the game and that didn't work. You are saying I have to manually delete the saves?
yeah manually. Im not sure how how it work if you bought it from tell tale, but if you bought it from steam there are two folders you have to delete:
the first one is in my documents, its named Tell Tale Games,there should be a walking dead folder inside the tell tale one. I deleted the whole tell tale folder
the second one if you use steam is located in computer/programfiles/steam/steamapps/common. the file is named the walking dead.
After you delete those two files and reinstall the game new folders will be created in those two spots. When you reinstall it trying playing episode 2 right off the back to see if it works
My file 2 does this. I can't play it. It also rewound the episode (2) to somewhere in the middle it looks like.
My files 1 and 2 are for making different choices. I was hoping to continue episode 3 from both save files but only save file 1 works. Save file 2 gives me the black screen/axe and I have to open my task manager to quit the game.
