Episode 4 - Glitch with my saves (X360).
Hi, first of all sorry in advance for my english 
I just buy the episode 4 on Xbox 360, I have 3 save files (1st is my main gameplay, 2nd is a run where I play with only bad decisions and 3 is my "perfect" run). The game load the most recent save (save #2) even if I select the other ones...if I load save #1 or #3 I see stats and choices I've made in save #2
I want to play the episode with my save #1 first but the game won't let me do it 
Please fix this ASAP.

I apologize for the late reply to this thread.
We are aware of the Xbox only issue where no matter which save slot is selected, only 1 will load. We do know that this issue only occurs when Episode 4 is installed, and appears to occur when the last played save file has a completed Episode 3 save. Removing Episode 4 will allow other slots to be accessed, and it's possible that completing (or re-completing) Episode 3 on another slot will allow that slot to be accessed once Episode 4 is installed. We are actively trying to track down the cause of this issue, and once we do, we will offer a fix.

It works for me, I can finally load my save #1 ! But I guess if you want to use another save slot later you'll have to redone this until the patch is coming.1) Make a backup of your game save (just to be sure).
2) Delete episode 4.
3) Now you need to finish ep3 again, just select the save you want for ep4 and press A to continue, you'll have a few dialogues and the credits, it's really quick.
4) When you're back to the menu you can download episode 4 again and this time it will load the good save.

I deleted my third save then copied my second save to the third slot, then deleted the second save to free it up... but now i can only start a new game and am completely unable to access the other 2 saves. This started after i downloaded episode 4.
I tried the "sign in / sign out" trick, and that didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and im playing on xbox 360.
I do as well, this same thing is happening to me, didn't have an issue till I got episode 4
Needless to say, I don't want to have to start both saves over again, and I'm not going to be thrilled if I can't access the save files....
mystery at the motor inn"..I really dont want to replay it...
I know games have bugs, but this is a gamebreaker here, and All I would really like is an eta on a fix and if it. Or at least let us know you are aware of the issue and are working on it...
^ I agree.
Hopefully when a fix is available it'll get posted in this thread and we can all get updated about it.
I also strongly agree, I know that it's only the first day since the release, but seriously Telltale, this is a MAJOR blow to you're reputation right here!
Even if you CAN patch the problem before millions of players erase their games and quit all together, this game should not have been released without the proper testings first, and don't tell me that it WAS tested thoroughly because someone obviously missed a HUGE flaw here (and a very bad one too considering that you're game is all about the choices that you make as a player, but now those choices are all gone).
We were ALL excited and a lot of us IMPATIENT even for the latest installment of this game, but I'd rather wait a long time for a game that works than not wait that long for a game that FORCES me to play all over again from the beginning of a LONG series.
Please fix this bug or at least respond on these forums... with quickness.
I don't see why (once its fixed) they wouldn't be able to restore our saves if we remember our key choices.

It looks like it just starts back to Episode 1, but all my decisions from the other episodes were still there. (Highlight them and hit Y - I made some unpopular choices, so I know they weren't randomized)
I just went back into the game and chose Episode 4. The recap was accurate.
- I took a backup of my saves just in case
- I had three saves - two identical saves for completing EP3 (took a backup copy back then), and one for EP1 where I tried different decisions. I deleted the EP1 save, then selected one of the EP3 saves and allowed it to randomize my decisions.
- Quit and saved the game, then selected the EP3 save I did not touch, and saw that it remembered my decisions. It still asked me to randomize the skipped episodes, but it didn't affect in any way, everything was the way I played the game.
Its nice that you found a fix but most wont wanna go through that. telltale need to respond in some way with something.
Very unfortunate, was looking forward to playing this new instalment asap, I hope a solution is found soon.
Any response from Telltale on this? I don't want to touch the game until I know this is fixed.
Start the game and play the save it keeps going to. Then after doing that go to ep*4 and rewind it to the last chapter *spoiler* (where you lose clem for the second time) and when it shows the hat just back to the main menu and it should work! All you have to do when you get back is to remember the choice you made at the end of that one after you did the rest! (Thats how I got it to work)
But I just checked the "stats" for Ep2 and they're kinda screwed up. Two of them are wrong. Dunno what the hell happened there. I guess it doesn't really matter much. One of them is unimportant now and the other affects Kenny's attitude. Since my response had made him become a jerk towards me from that moment forward and he was still a jerk at the end of Ep4, I guess it may just be the stats that are wrong. (Stats has me siding with Kenny on an issue, but I actually didn't side with him. He still acted as if I hadn't sided with him back then)
thanks that worked! but a patch still is needed for the xbox! and fix those game stutters!
Log out of your xbox live account, then log back in immediately. You will be taken back to the home screen. Then try to load it again and it should work.
Telltale, I'm not a user of your forum. I have only joined to make this post. Searching on here, YOUR COMMUNITY, I am shocked to find that you haven't responded to the posts of your members. What gives?
I'm pretty sure all these people here deserve an explanation, way before I get one.
Be good to your customers. Or they will not be back.
FAIL
Have you tried anything that the community said would get it working again?
i have no desire to play this game if i can't even use my saves.
I have, but shouldn't have to. I believe companies should release finished products to their audience...
Only popped back to see if Telltale had responded. Still complete FAIL
We are the complete mugs for paying for this. Well done us!
Well done, Telltale
