Can you import a save from Walking Dead Season 1 to Season 2?
I recently bought Walking Dead Season 2. I remember hearing that Season 2 might import your decisions from Season 1. Is this true and if so is there anything I need to do to make it work?
Best Answer
I couldn't import the save as well. So I turned off the compatibility mode on Season 1 and replayed episode one (some patch must have repaired the issue because of which I turned it on in the first place). The game created another TellTale folder with all the saves I had (steam cloud sync on). Just copy those saves from the compatibility folder to the new one (it's the one with fewer saves) and Season 2 will be able to detect them. Worked like a charm :)

For anyone having this problem under Linux when using steam play you can solve it with the following command:
cp -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/207610/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/Telltale\ Games/The\ Walking\ Dead ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/261030/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My\ Documents/Telltale\ Games/The\ Walking\ Dead

Series 2 will find your saves from series 1 and 400 days automatically when you start it. If saves are found in the saves directory (C:\Users\%Username%\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead folder on PC, and ~/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games on Mac) or the Steam Cloud, you will be given an option to import them.
Answer 4
After a whole evening of attempts, i did it: i have macOS, but i think it will work on Windows too just by adapting the folders path.
I noticed that - once I tried one time to start the season 2 and to recover (unsuccessfully) first season's saves - the new season (2) created a new folder named "The Walking Dead 2" in a completely new position: the folder Documents\Telltale Games (on macOS).
So i went to -Library\Application Support\TellTale Games\TheWalkingDead and copied the whole folder "TheWalkingDead", pasting it in Documents\Telltale Games. Then I changed the name of the folder "TheWalkingDead" in "The Walking Dead".
The last thing I did was to re-name the last save file from season 1: in my case it was "save_69.save" and I renamed it "saveslot1.bundle".
Answer 5
Just change the name of the last save file from season 1 to "saveslot1.bundle". Make sure you change the extension to *.bundle and that the folder with Season 1 saves is in the correct place (\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead).
After that the game should find the save file properly.
