Working now!

Yousurename · 12/22/2010, 03:11 pm

Woo! I'm finally about to play! After a ton of waiting and site down-age...

...the download and installation seemed to have taken longer than past Telltale games have for me.

derex · 12/22/2010, 03:14 pm

It seems to be working ( for now) and im at 55% hopefully i will get to 100% without interruptions... want to play damnit!

Unless for some reason that downloads the Mac version too, then I have no idea.

When it was done downloading, it told me "Sorry, but it doesn't look like you own Back to the Future: The Game. Try logging in again under a different account or pick up the game."! Apparently, some users have already started playing the first episode without having to buy the other ones! Why doesn't it work for me?

They crawled their way in, I assume. I can't play the game too because it says the same thing.

They finally just released a patch that tracks if you really bought the game or not unfortunately..

Wait ,so are they supposed to send the downloader to me? I'm on the east coast, does that make a difference?

outtatime007 · 12/22/2010, 04:39 pm

Not sure if this is a glitch or standard but I played some of the game and closed it for dinner, came back and reloaded it and now it would appear to be redownloading it from the site (and taking forever!) Has anyone else experienced this?

... And now it says it's installing again???

TheMike · 12/22/2010, 06:11 pm

I still haven't received my code

Some other guy says this:

Short answer:
Until TellTale fixes this bug, you need to run BTTF as an Administrator if you're using Vista or Windows 7.

To do this:
1. Right click on the game icon on your Desktop (or in your Start Menu).
2. Select "Run As Administrator".
3. Click "OK" in the window that appears.

You will now be able to play BTTF: Episode 1.

Long answer:
When you're installing the game, if you choose to RUN it immediately when you've finished (by leaving the checkbox ticked at the end of the installer) it will work fine -- the first time, at least -- because you're already running it as an Administrator.

Once the game is installed, however, and you decide to play it again, you need run it as an Administrator manually, otherwise the Launcher will ask you to Log In and then redownload and attempt to install the game over itself(!).

This is some particularly lazy bug testing coupled with some bad programming, unfortunately. Someone never bothered to see what happens if you uncheck the boxes at the end of the installer -- or, if they did, they never bothered to see what happens if you install it on a default Vista or Windows 7 setup.

outtatime007 · 12/22/2010, 08:33 pm

Thank you, running as administrator did fix it.

Opa-Opa · 12/22/2010, 08:47 pm

Back from work and half drunk. After a lot of time waiting I still have to wait 10 minutes for the game to download. That's heavy.

Opa-Opa · 12/22/2010, 10:54 pm

Oh man... it was worth the wait. It's very rare for a game to make me cry during the intro. Nice work Telltale.

You're sure that doesn't have anything to do with you being half-drunk? :P

Opa-Opa · 12/23/2010, 09:37 am

Could be.

...

Nah, don't think so. Hearing Marty's mom saying he was back to good old 1986 was too much for me.

It was a nice subversion of the catch phrase

Too bad we didn't see Marty's mom herself.

Telltale didn't contact me regarding a review of this title unfortunately.

awww everyone stopped talking here :-(

There are programs that let you map specific buttons from the keyboard and mouse onto a controller, but Telltale's games (so far) don't support gamepads. On a side note, IT"S DONE DOWNLOADING! WOOHOO!

So far ?

they support pad since Sam and max season 3.

And of course BTTF does. And it's actually much better with a pad.
