Symptoms

The walking dead season 2 cannot find saves created by season 1

Reproduction

  1. download and play The walking dead (the most important step here is at least you need finish ((whatever episode 1 or 5)) chapter 1 to let it generate a save file).
  2. download and open 'The Walking Dead Season 2' continue with game instructions to import save from previous episode of game
  3. error reproduced. Game cannot find any save files.

I solved this problem already by copy .../SteamLibrary/steamapps/compactdata/207610/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Telltale Games folder into .../SteamLibrary/steamapps/compactdata/261030/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/.
I think let same developer's game runs in same container is more efficient than one game one container. It can also avoid this case happen again.

Sorry! I didn't mean to. I thought whitelist and bug report should not put into same issue.
