Only Episode 1 appears as finished / save problem

Hello Telltale Community! Please help!!!

I have it for PC and I bought it via Steam, please help.

When I finish Episode 1 and go to the Menu and then click on the button that says Episode 1 it moves forward to Episode 2 as it should, I also can review my Stats from Episode 1.
However, if I start Episode 2 and play until I reach an autosave and quit, when I restart the game and go to the Title screen of episode 2 it doesn't say continue, it only says start as if I haven't played at all and I have to start over.
If I finish Episode 2 in one session and then go to the menu it says Episode 2 and when I click on it it moves forward to episode 3. However, when I leave the game and start it again it has the same problem, I can only start Episode 2 and review my Stats from Episode 1 NOT Episode 2, as if I never played it. That is really frustrating.
Also some of my choices won't carry over from episode 1 to 2 and from 2 two 3. I already tried the prefs.prop solution that I found in the forums, but that won't help.

    please try renaming the prefs.prop in
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Walking Dead\Pack\default
    to prefs.prop.bak to deactivate it

    This sounds similar to my problem (though I didn't play episode 2 through, cause it didn't keep my choices, thus wasn't 'my' game)

    I don't know what prefs.prop solution you saw.

    I'm going to try putting .bak on mine and see if this solution works for mine.

    (I assume it worked for this because nobody's complained about it for a day or so)

    And now the game doesn't even have my saved data in slot 2. *puts the file back to how it was* And there it is again. *changes file to .bak* Game's gone. *starts the game with the prefs.prop.bak file, then changes it while the game is running* Game's still gone.

    I kinda wanna try starting the game with the prefs.prop file then changing it to a .bak while the game is running and trying to load the game. But I'm not sure what that might do.

    Is prefs.prop a saved game file for slot 2? That's a strange naming system if it is.
