Episode 2 - Brenda-Bug

[John Helldiver]

Dear Telltale,

you got to fix something awful and frustrating in Episode 2. The part (SPOILER) Brenda's got Katjaa and you have to go slowly to Brenda is frustrating as hell.
Every time I go to Brenda, she kills me. I go to her, Lee doesn't stop to walk further and there's no point for interaction with the characters. He walks and gets a bullet in the head.
There's also no possibility of talking after scrolling to the top or under the knees of Brenda, which is possible in many cases.

And I see this is a bug since summer and currently it ruins the whole game, because I can't go on - after getting killed all the time since 30 minutes.

Please fix that...

I had a bit of issue getting past that point as well, and read it was a common bug, but also that many people who think it's bugged simply aren't doing it correctly.

You have to inch forward very slowly, and stop as soon as Brenda starts saying something. The interaction point doesn't show up immediately, so you can't just zerg click it while walking. For me, the problem I had was that I was trying to start pressing "backwards" when she started talking, and got shot every time. Apparently it registers any movement keys as trying to walk towards her, and will just kill you. I ended up just slowly tapping foward over and over, pausing in between to see if it triggered, and it worked for me my first try that way.

Seriously? Putting that spoiler in the topic?

[John Helldiver]

the problem is, even if I don't press any key, Lee walks further to Brenda, so the following death is inevitable

It's impossible. When Brenda points the gun at Lee and says she's gonna kill him, you don't move and just click at her so you talk. Then you can move further and finally she'll get caught by zombie-Mark

[Nephron]

Strange, it worked for me. I carefully pressed W from time to time and immediately stopped when she started talking. Then I waited some seconds and the dialogue indicator popped up.

[John Helldiver]

It popped up no randomly but still Lee's going still forward... that's weird

[Nephron]

So you are constantly moving forward even without pressing any button?

[Nephron]

I see you are in episode 3 now. How did you manage to get past Brenda?

[John Helldiver]

It worked out randomly as I said, but this hour of dying all the time was frustrating.
Is any bug like this later in the game?

[Salamol]

I play with the little circles off... but had to turn them on for this part after not knowing what to do. But then it was pretty simple, click Brenda when she points the gun at you.

still not fixed :-( what kind of support is this? will never buy a game from telltale again!

It may not be a bug, I think there is just some timing involved. Synavix's reply described the solution the best:

In summary, stop moving when she has the gun pointed at you, and then talk to her. Continue with this to get by.

Hope this helps!

i Had this too. but but somehow she didn't shoot me when i Looked down...Evertime i looked up while i walking i got killed. but if i didn't looked up and moved carefully, i got it

[racegate]

I don't think this is a bug.

[Mari Illustrious Makinami]

Timing? Screw this timing, i do absolutely nothing and she keeps shooting me. No dialog option is available for me either, was it because i scared her when i was approaching the front door? -.-
