Says my account doesn't own The Walking Dead game, again.
This has happened every time a new episode has come out. I bought the season pass and every time there's a new episode, the game tells me my account doesn't own it and prompts me to go buy it.

The opening screen loads up, says Click to Continue. I click, and it reloads the main screen, then gives me a message that says my account doesn't have a license for this game (which was purchased through the Telltale site), and asks if I want to go to Telltale and buy the game for a second time. Regardless of what I choose, yes or no, it reloads the main screen, and the Click to Continue button becomes unclickable, forcing me to Alt+F4.
This happened when the last episode came out, and I *assume* it will be fixed soon. But it shouldn't even be happening in the first place. It's pretty irritating that it's this hard to keep track of who actually owns the game.
*** Following up on this, I tried to get into the game again after posting, and miraculously it worked. Lets see how long it lasts.
I hope I will be able to play the game I own at some point this week.
Unfortunatley, you never really own a game that calls home as much as this one does. DRM just gives the illusion of ownership as long as the servers are working properly.
I truly regret buying directly from Telltale as I have had nothing but problems.
Any telltale staff read the forums or is this pretty much just selfhelp?
Most of the time when I start game, it asks if I want to buy it. I have to ALT-F4 to close game, and re-open several times to get in.
Once I do get in, I click "GET IT" for ep 4, and immediately get a LOST CONNECTION message.
Very frustrating for those of us who just want to play the game... I hope these issues get resolved by tomorrow.
Everyone who pirated the game is happily playing away of course.
I don't care whether Telltale fix this or not. I wanted to play their game right now and I can't because of poxy DRM once again.
I have a strong (home) connection that was failing to play the game. Eventually after 45 minutes it was able to get signed in. I played through about half of Episode 2.
Lunch break at work. STRONG t3 connection. Got logged in fine. Went to play my saved game which says "EPISODE 2" Then it says "GET" instead of play. Uhhh. ok. So I click GET since it will take about 4 seconds to download on that connection.
"Connection lost please try your download again"
WHY THE HELL DO I NEED TO DOWNLOAD EPISODE 2 AGAIN?
Ok. So I figure... no big deal... I'll deal with this later. I work... continue to customer site. Customer has redonkulous redundant fiber. (hospital I do IT for) Same result. I can connect... but can't download episode 2 with the error listed above. I try episode 3 and 4... same thing.
I am now hot spotting off my iPhone 5. CRAP internet connection.
Same exact results.
TELLTALE. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WITH THE INTERNET SPEED.
Shouting in case you are skimming so you get the highlights. Uhh... don't tell us its our internet speed. Fix your broken network/servers.
The Connection sucks. It needs at least 30 attempts to even get to the menu (past this ridicule message saying that I don't have the license)
On top of this, the download of Part 4 has failed so far. .. Can't even get it count anything above 0.0%
This is more than annoying.
My twitter feed is full of retweets from telltale from people saying how awesome the game is, gushing over how amazing episode 4 is. That's just rubbing salt in.
I'd like to ask here openly what Telltale's position is on me downloading the episodes via other means? You have on record that I have purchased every episode so if Telltale can't provide the files what's my position on obtaining them from somewhere else? This is a genuine question. I'm pretty sure if I looked I could find episode 3 and 4 and all the information I need in order to play them. Would this be ok? I mean, I own a license to play the episodes, it shouldn't matter where I get them from should it?
No, I don't have another network there, I've only my semi-loosy 512 kbps DSL line... But come on, it's a point-and-click game ! I don't ask to play any FPS ! I neither don't mind to let my PC downloading an episode over the night, ... I'm patient.
What I really regret, is to pay for a game and can't play with it ! :mad:
I have a strong internet connection so that's no the problem but admittedly this is an older PC (but still meets requirments).
I have also recently reformatted this pc and it's working just fine apart from this game.
I have a new kick ass pc coming in the post in about a week or so, if it doesn't work on that pc this is the last game I will get from telltale
This thread was opened in October, so this issue has been going on for months and it's not been fixed.
