Issues fixed
"WalkingDead101.exe has stopped working" Error
Standard Steam troubleshooting[citation needed] |
---|
Standard Steam troubleshooting is required. Verify the integrity of the game cache, and run Steam and the game as an administrator. If it's still not working, right-click the game's executable, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, and then check the options to run in compatibility mode for Windows 98/ME.[citation needed] Also check the option to disable desktop composition. Another solution is to check if your steam.exe is being run with Vista compatibility mode, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe or Steam Application(or your variant path) right click the application, then click Properties, and find the Compatibility tab. Check if the application is being run with Vista compatibility, if so and it is grayed out click "Change settings for all users" and un-check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and click apply. Once this is done close your steam.exe and all steam related processes or restart your computer, restart Steam and launch The Walking Dead this "should" fix the issue, and fix the stuttering caused by using the advent of the Windows 98/ME fix.[citation needed] On a sidenote before trying this fix make sure your "The Walking Dead.exe" isn't running in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode. If it is, it makes this fix pointless because the actual game is still being run in that compatibility mode and will still cause stuttering. If you start the game while the program "D3D Overrider" (v2.0.1) is running in the background, the game will possibly crash. The current solution is to close D3D Overrider while you play the game in this case. |
Poor performance with AMD graphics
Turn shadows off[citation needed] |
---|
|
Corrupted textures or black boxes on screen with AMD graphics
Set Anti-Aliasing to 'Application Controlled'[citation needed] |
---|
Caused by anti-aliasing being forced by the AMD Vision Engine Control Center. Set anti-aliasing to 'Application Controlled'. |
Game will not launch in Steam
Download DLL file and/or unplug game controllers[citation needed] |
---|
Unplugging game controllers may fix the problem as well. Another possible solution (Windows 7): Make sure that Steam is not running in Vista Compatibility mode. First make sure Steam is not running. Right click Steam icon, select properties and the compatibility Tab. If "run this programme in compatibility mode" box is ticked untick it. |
Press Alt+↵ Enter after clicking Play in Steam[citation needed] |

Notes
|
"Walking Dead crashes on intro-screen, saying 'connecting'" Error
Disable nework connection[citation needed] |
---|
Less than a fix, this is a workaround.
The crash occurs on the intro page after 'click to continue' when the game displays a progress bar saying 'connecting'. Disabling your network (e.g. via ___How to disable your network:___
After you have stopped playing you want to right-click and ACTIVATE your network connection again. |
