(FIX) BLACK SCREEN WITH AXE IN INVENTORY WHEN STARTING EPISODE 2

[Aleideka]

Hi all,

So I had some problems: when starting the second episode I just got an black screen with an axe in my inventory and some zombiesounds on the background. After searching around on the net I found this FIX (Episode 2 starts like an charm again for me).

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO:

rename the prefs.prop in
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead
to prefs.prop.bak

then move the prefs.prop from
c:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\The Walking Dead\Pack\default
to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead


It seems that this fix works for the same problem in all episodes.

I hope i can help some people with this post,

Greetings Aleideka

(PS: Remember to backup those prefs.prop files before you do anything with them)

It may be too late to get anyone, but i've tried this and it didn't work. I have the same problem and everything, but it still shows that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fire axe. I really need someone's help.

Have you done everything, like clearing the steam cloud, and old save data that might conflict?
Go to the steam game's library, right click on your game and click properties, you can find the steam cloud settings under that for the game. And go to your steam options, by clicking on the menu called steam at the top left corner of steam, and click settings, there you will find more cloud settings.
Search your computer for the game's files, they could be in c:\programdata, and in many other places, even your documents folder. Also check your steam folder for the steam cache files and delete them, as well as find the steam userdata files for the game to delete as well, validate the game files by right clicking on the game in the steam game's library and clicking properties, you'll find the option to validate the files under that, even do a reinstall if you have to after all of that, just to see if it will work, or if you run into issues.

Also go into your nvidia control panel and set it to "let the 3d application decide".
Click apply and close it.
Make sure that all your drivers are up to date on the computer, not just your video drivers.
Check to see if any other software might have conflicted with your nvidia profile settings, you can also reset the nvidia control panel to default by going to the area where it says to let the 3d application decide, just don't forget to set that option again.
Be sure to go through your in-game video options for the game, to set everything properly for your video card and pc.

If you have a radeon video card, something similar to "let the 3d application decide", is in the catalyst control center. You can find updates to your video card drivers by going to my guide on the first page in this thread.

By some reason I don't have a prefs.prop in steamapps... :(

Have you already started to play the game?
As long as there is no new game started (and saved) there will be no prefs.prop if i remember correctly.
