Black Screen Problem - TWD Episode 5
I've played the game straight through ... finished episode 4 and no matter what I do, episode 5 loads but i get no video, just a black screen. Though the text still appears and you can hear the audio fine. Only the video is not working correctly.
Not only that, but once I start Episode 5, even if I escape to the menus, the black screen continues but you can only see the menu options (even the mouse is missing though it's still there as you can move the mouse over the menu options which makes them disappear also.
The game can still be played i've noted but without video it becomes pointless as you can't see what is happening.
I've attached the support data as per instructions here (I checked a few threads and found no reference to this issue directly though i tested a couple of black screen issues to see if they help with no result ~ including the workaround).

Your installation of Episode 5 appears to be missing several files, which explains why it doesn't work.
Where did you buy the game?
whats the easiest way to fix it ?
Try a reinstall ?
(as long as I can keep my save game that is)
I am not sure if it will keep the savegames automatically, so i suggest you make a backup copy of the savegame folder
