Walking Dead Season 2 - savefile possible solution
Hi all,
I've been having the not so rare 'game does not save' problem. After reading unsuccessful posts by support guys I went on to investigate the issue myself and found a possible cause and solution.
First analysis of the problem: it seems that the game at times might think you have a demo not a full version even if you never downloaded the trial. How I came to this conclusion was pulling ETH cord from my Xbox (second one, not the one used to purchase the game originally) and logging in. Second step launched the game and to my not so big surprise I was offered a choice to Unlock Episode 1. Weird considering purchasing full game from start and never bothering with the trial.
After this I did click Unlock Ep. 1 and was offered a choice to purchase it, which didn't succeed as I was offline. Next step plugged in ETH cable, waited few seconds just to make sure Xbox gets the IP, DNS and all other cool network stuff. Then pressed Xbox Home button (the middle one with controller numbers) and clicked Connect to Live, then quit the game and relaunched it.
Behold, I was offered save device and the game started saving progress and ... the choices from Season One were imported properly.
I hope this helps everyone with the problem.
P.S. If you're on WiFi the easiest way to proceed is to reboot the router and immediately load the game, this should sign you off Live and allow to reset game state from 'vitural trial' into full game.
