Choices not carrying over to next episode

[stxpal]

I completed the first episode however the choices I made from the first one did not carry over, any idea how I can fix this.

My choices being to save certain people and in the next episdoe they are dead and the other person is alive.

Same exact issue. Rewinding the last chapter in Episode 1 still shows who still lives yet after choosing Episode 2 it's the opposite.

Yes I have the same thing it will even say what my choices were however they dont take affect

"Episode 1 choices not being carried into Episode 2 on the PC.

We are investigating this issue now but have not yet been able to reproduce it under normal play. Please keep in mind that if you use the Rewind feature on your current save game, you will need to play through Episode 1 on that save to completion before the choices will transfer into Episode 2. This is why we recommend copying your save to a separate slot before using Rewind.

If you’re currently experiencing this issue, please open the folder that you installed The Walking Dead to. If you find a prefs.prop file in this folder, move (move; don't copy) it to your save game folder and overwrite the file that’s currently there. By default, that folder is located here:

Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead

Windows 7
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead"

----------

The save system in TWD is a buggy mess, and Telltale never bothered to fix it. Them saying that they haven't been able to reproduce this bug is obviously ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, since a lot of people have had this problem. I don't understand why this solution isn't even stickied here on Steam

Great thank you for the response ill try this and see if it fixes it

[RawpeR]

so where do i need to move that file to?

[NOCTURNE]

I think you need to watch the whole credits in order for your choices to stay the same.

[stxpal]

great, thanks for the reply. If I ever feel like trying it again maybe i will finally be able to finish the game. with my choices not carrying over I never got past the first episode

Would just like to say here.... this is an issue with the Definitive Edition as well. It is exactly the same... lol. There is no rewind though. I had to play through episode 1 again fully, and it did the same thing again. Choices will not carry over to episode 2. Still searching more on this issue but found this thread and wanted to note it here.
