The game stores two copies of a file called <code>prefs.prop</code> on your computer in different locations, and sometimes these can get out of sync. This has been especially noted to happen when moving from Episode 2 to 3, and Episode 4 to 5. It is highly recommended that you back up all your saves and both <code>prefs.prop</code> files in a completely separate location before you do this. | The game stores two copies of a file called <code>prefs.prop</code> on your computer in different locations, and sometimes these can get out of sync.

First, look in the folders listed below and find the <code>prefs.prop</code> file with the '''largest''' size, then copy this file over the smaller one. If copying the largest file doesn't work, go to your backups and copy the one with the '''latest''' modified date over the older one. The file you replace may be in either the user folder or the Steam folder, make sure you compare them both. | First, look in the folders listed below and find the <code>prefs.prop</code> file with the '''largest''' size, then copy this file over the smaller one.

Unresolved Issues
No Invert Y-Axis Option
This game does not include a native invert y-axis option.[2]
The utility SakasaMouse or Polynomial's Mouse Inverter will invert y-axis on the mouse controls, and is reported to work in the game. Using this driver will also invert the y-axis mouse controls for all aspects of the game, including menu items.
The Walking Dead does not recognize any analogue stick inversions using Xpadder.[3]
System requirements
- Steam requirements state that playing the title is not recommended for Intel integrated graphics or Mac Minis or early-generation MacBooks.
