BTTF does not start (OSX) after pressing "Play"

[gloom303]

After launching the, well, launcher, logging in and pressing "Play", the launcher quits, and nothing more happens. I have tried it multiple times now, but it just won't work. I am running OSX 10.6.5 on a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, MacBook Pro.

Ideas? Suggestions? Fixes? It annoys me greatly that I can't play the game I have been looking forward to playing for six months, and during the christmas holidays is really the only free time I'll have in weeks to come.. :/

The first package I downloaded a couple of days ago was called "bttf_101_setup.app.zip" and extracted to "BackToTheFuture101 DRM 15.05". I went back to the Telltale games website and downloaded it from my games. It had was called differently, "BackToTheFuture101.app.zip" and extracted to "BackToTheFuture101". Now it works! Probably a mispackaging...

Happy playing!

I finally figured out what the problem was on my side. The game has some sort of launcher from where you can start all episodes. If you rename the file (as I did because I didn't like the name), the launcher cannot find the game and exits. So dont rename the file! Leave it as it is, and the game will start without any problems.

i got the latest version of the game - however it seems not to like the nvidia card in my laptop - when I copy the prefs.pro from tales of monkey island ep 1 and replace the bttf one, and switch my video to intel only using a utility gfxcardstatus the game runs in windowed mode and I can do stuff in the gui - other than that, if i just leave everything normal and run like any other app - the game plays a bit of audio - and then crashes causing me to have to do a hard power down and reboot.
