Walking Dead episode 4 glitch - Xbox One
I recently purchased season one for the Xbox One. I played through the first 3 episodes with no problems but I've experienced several glitches that keep me from progressing in episode 4.
The first glitch is when you first arrive in Crawford. I climb up the ladder in the sewer, sneak up on the walker, get in the school, and eventually I go to the door the takes you to the alley. Only problem is that when I open the door, it send me back to the sewer ladder and I can't progress.
After sever appemts of resetting and rewinding chapters, I got past the glitch but now I'm stuck again. After getting the battery, the cutsceme doesn't trigger of Molly saying she's going to hold on to the battery and thus, the walkers don't burst through the door by the playground. I'm just left to walk around the school and nothing is happening.
Would appreciate it if someone can let me know if these glitches are known and being worked on. Would love to continue playing this game but these glitches are getting frustrating. Thank you.

I am having a similar problem on the PS4 version in about the same spot.
Interesting. Have you had any luck on progressing the game?
Not yet. I will try a few more times today.
@xFeaRsD and @Poeiii Can you please clarify if you have tried watching a video walkthrough, and make sure that you are completing all of the necessary steps to progress the game naturally? Also, have you made sure to investigate each room completely to find all of the necessary items you need to progress? I recommend rewinding to the chapter/checkpoint before the scene where you become stuck, and make sure to investigate each room fully. If you are still encountering the issue, please reply, and I will assist you further.
After a couple of rewinds, the glitch finally stopped occurring. I diddid nothing different other than rewinding and making the same choices.
Thank you for providing this extra information. I will make sure to pass it along to the team for further investigation. I hope you are now able to enjoy the game!
I'm having the same issue with episode 4 as well. one I get the tapes off of the doctor and out of his locker, I can't go back into the nurses office. when I put the pointer over the door it gives me no options to look or enter the room. I've retried 3 times now and starting to get annoyed cause Im just trying to fly through season 1 for my 3rd time(previous 2 on last gem) on my XBone just so I can do season 2 which I've been waiting forever to play.
My apologies, if you are still experiencing the issue, please try rewinding to the chapter/checkpoint before reaching Crawford (2 or 3 chapters back), and then play through the episode again, and you should not experience the issue.
This is still happening. Currently can't get out of the sewer and I have rewound.
How is this not fixed?
My apologies, we are currently looking into the issue. If you are still experiencing the issue, please try rewinding to the chapter/checkpoint before reaching Crawford (2 or 3 chapters back), and then play through the episode again, and you should not experience the issue again.
I'm having a bug at the same area. I kill the walker and go into the school and it skips an entire cutscene which makes it so I can't progress any further.
is there any word on a patch or update? I just got stuck here and ive tried rewind with no fix
I'm in the same boat as you are craig. It's a total piss off. I've even gone so far as to finish the last part of episode 3 to no avail.
I've done what you suggest even going so far as to redoing a part of Episode 3 over again but nothing has worked. When I get to crawford, and go into the school - the cut scene doesn't happen. that's how I know it's pooched.
I'm having the same problem won't let me back in the room on my xbox one ready to give up and scream what is going on done the rewind numerous times
I'm having the exact same problem (PS4) Episode 4, in the school. Go to the exit door get transported back to the scene when I'm climbing up the ladder to Crawford and then I'm stuck on the ladder unable to do anything. It's getting frustrating as I'm rewinding scenes repeatedly to no avail. I want to continue playing but I'm going to give up - I can't repeat scenes all day.
I've spent the past hour or so rewinding and nothing has changed. Same thing, every time.
Same exact thing. I have replayed episode 4 several times from the beginning, and it keeps looping back to climbing the ladder out of the sewers. This is completely preventing me from finishing up the first season, and I ended up skipping to episode 5 with random choices generated by the game. Completely removes the fun of all the decisions I made in the first 3/4 episodes, and is preventing me from moving on to 500 days, and season 2 (I don't want these crappy random choices carrying over)
Since TTG support seems to always ask for specifics no matter how much detail goes into these posts, here's a video from Youtube (someone else's) showing exactly what everyone is talking about:
Would be great if there was an update by someone as to what's being done as I can't do a single thing right now. I've also just downloaded season 2 and that is now, in effect, unplayable.
Same problem here- Got the battery from the car, escaped via the roof W/ Molly, then it skipped the cut scene and put me in the school. The zombies never busted through the door and i was left wondering with nothing to do. PS4 Season1 Ep 4
Please try the workaround Forum Member @Botags found to work for him:
Yes, me too. I find the general lack of responsiveness from TTG disgusting. A repeated response of "just play it over" is unacceptable. It isn't working. But hey, maybe I am just cynical but they already have our money, right? Sorry, I am just bitter because I was burned upon release of their season pass for Tales From The Borderlands, which also still has no resolution just a repeated, standard response of no comfort while a product that isn't downloadable remains on sale. Pretty damn unhappy.
This worked for me.

still no patch available? i already regret buying this gold deal bundle for my xbox. rewinded several times. different choices, fast and normal game pace. this is really annoying.
If you let the zombie out front the school kill you, you will restart and be able to get into the school
I'm having the same problem. When I try to exit the alleyway, I get sent back to the sewer. It also seems like maybe a cutscene was skipped upon entering the school. I'm immediately by myself and my group is nowhere around.
Hope this works. I'll give it a try tonight.
This worked for me. I let the zombie kill me once, then played as normal. Once inside the school, I got all the normal cut scenes I had missed before and was able to play through the rest of the episode. Thanks TWDGrimes!
Thank you @TWDGrimes for providing the information on how you were able to resolve the issue, and @RedSoxDMB for posting that it worked for you as well. I'll make sure to pass it along to the team for further investigation.
I was stuck on the battery cutscene loop too. Don't pick chicken as an option. I also let Lee die once then grabbed the hand. I retried it a couple of times before I let him die. Every time I picked chicken I would get in the loop. So not sure if it's the death or other option besides chicken that fixed it for me.
something similar to me is happening, after you get the video tape and note off the doctor. I go back to the nurses station but there is no option to go back in. I have done the rewind twice and haven't had any such luck with going past that point. I have seen video play throughs and I didn't miss anything
Is there any news of an official patch coming anytime soon? Hate the fact that I have to do a workaround, just to play the game properly. Not to mention, I am having to replay it, since cross-save or importing 360 saves is not an available feature.
Overall frustrating and rage inducing for a product I paid for twice now. If this weren't digital, it would already be traded in. But, since it is, I am demanding some form of compensation, sitting in the loop of a broken game. I love playing it, but only WHEN IT WORKS!
My apologies, unfortunately at this time, I do not have an update on the resolution for the issue. If you are becoming stuck at a similar spot in the game, can you please clarify if you had played through the previous 3 episodes all in the same sitting and then reached this issue, or did you play the episodes individually, in shorter chunks?
Same here. Instead of spawning in front of the nurse office door, i was in front of the hq after leaving the nurse office. maybe that helps solving the glitch, because it is damn annoying..
I just got around to the school part on Xbox One (Had no issues on the 360 and PS3 versions) and I experienced the first glitch mentioned here after getting the battery which I was able to workaround by apparently not choosing "Chicken!" when having to jump across the roof to Molly so obviously that glitch has not been fixed. However, then after searching the doctors body I am not able to get back into the nurse's office after getting the combination and getting the tapes from the locker.
These are two glitches that have been reported by others for months and I cannot believe that they have not yet been fixed. I have purchased all of Telltale Games sometimes on multiple platforms but am really disappointed that your team could not address a glitch on a fixed platform like the Xbox One. Perhaps this was a third party port but even so your team should get it fixed instead of suggesting people try rewinding. It is a bug not a feature.
My sincerest apologies, unfortunately at this time there have been no plans announced to update this particular game. I will make sure to pass your extra information along to the team. Unfortunately if you experience this issue during your playthrough, the workaround that resolves this issue is resetting your console, and rewinding to the chapter/checkpoint before you reach this scene, and you should be able to successfully progress in the game.
Will give that a try tomorrow - but this is still happening! Needs to be fixed ASAP rather than just telling users to rewind and let Lee die! Shouldn't be that way!
Major telltale fan but a bit disappointed with this!
