Game won't launch.

[AstinDextor]

I have already played through this game so I know it used to work. But now I tried to replay it and when I click PLAY nothing happens. I have verified cache, uninstalled, reinstalled and nothing has changed. Any advice?

[HappyLumberMan]

Sorry thought it was the problem. Hope someone else comes up with any other solution for you mate

Have the same problem here. Game just won't start when i press "play game". I get a message that the game is starting, but then it just closes down, the computer works a few seconds more and then nothing. Every time. I have tried several suggestions here and on the support faq, but no luck.

it only works when I change the compatibility to windows 98, but the game lags like hell sometimes... I just want to play the damn dlc, so I can start playing season 2 >.<

wtf?? I also took my controller out (not an xbox type) and the game launched normally...What is this crap?

[Comrade Gumptious]

Uncheck any compatability modes on the Steam.exe. It worked for me. Make sure you close and restart Steam for it to work.

ok brohams got this tip because I was having a similar issue with Poker Night 2- another TT game. Go into your programs folder then ...\Steam\steamapps\common\The Walking Dead and right click on the .exe file. Do the troubleshoot compatability and itll probably run it with windows XP. Has worked (just tried it with this) for both games. I think its just a weird thing with TT games. Hope this helps.

i get this same problem, doesnt anybody know how to fix this it is so annoying i want to play it but everytime i try to load it up this error comes up

To provide further clarification, at least from my end. Once I launch the game from steam it attempts to load the game, however, as it begins to run it then encounters an error which states "WalkingDead101.exe has stopped working" which then terminates the process of loading. I'm attempting to run this game on Windows 7, and have no issues running any other games on my computer, or even from steam for that matter.

1) Go in the game folder C:/Programfiles/Steam blablabla
2) Go into "Pack", change "default" (Folder name) to "WalkingDead101" (like all those other folder names stated (WalkingDead102, WalkingDead103 etc. etc.)
3) Go back into the game folder
4) Change the exe. data from WalkingDead101 to just "WalkingDead"
5) Start game and enjoy

I've tried these, nothing at all seems to work, I'm goign to try another compatibilie for windows, but if the game will run on 98, that has to be an issue they need to fix sometime, it doesn't seem correct.

Also, my game actualy launches set to windows xp, but when i get to the screen where you *click to continue* to start the game, that's where it stops working, could it be a resolution issue?

Same problem here...

I also had to run it as an admin. Forgot to put that part in. Idk if thatll change anything but thought you should be aware. Running in the compatability mode doesnt seem to effect anything in the game though, graphically or gameplay wise. Which is kinda weird. Im using windows 7 so idk if youre using amother OS which might be affecting how it runs on yours.

I'm using Windows 7 and running as administrater.
