It would be logical that it autosave when you quit.

well, it would not be "logical", but it would be nice if the game asks you if you wanna save before exiting the game.

stemot, please stop accusing everyone with this problem of piracy. Although I didn't have the same issue, the save system was incredibly buggy on my brother's Mac, so there IS something wrong with it. We really can't be sure at this time.

However, everyone in here admitting to have downloaded a crack or crackfix is_in_trouble. How stupid is it to admit this in an OFFICIAL FORUM?

It's not a bug, it's a DRM feature. You're running an illegal version of the game.
That thought occurred to me after noticing that more than one person seemed to be having an issue losing their "game" in the same spot. Just wasn't making sense.

If you people have indeed downloaded an illegal version, and then you're coming on the OFFICIAL forum of the game maker to request a fix for it, that's beyond ridiculous.

Thanks for the answer. That was the easy part. But where are the saves on a Mac? In Documents there's no trace of them.

I can't get the save function to work right either.

http://imgur.com/4a3Zl&gW1s7l -> http://imgur.com/4a3Zl

I assumed it autosaved because when I went to the save screen, before I closed the game, it said "Emmit's Lab". I had just arrived at emmits lab so since that's where I was I didn't try to save the game. I guess saving the game means clicking on the photo that says "2" on it? The procedure for saving the game isn't clear.

When I click on the photo "1" and then load now, I am taken to... well a way back in the game.

I am not a gamer, but I am a fan of the series. I don't really have all the time in the world to play through this part again.

You have to click the photo that says 2, then click the "Save Game" button below it.

Do I have to manually save each time I quit the game?
Sam and Max didnt autosave like that. It autosaves at certain point just like back to the future.

The difference is I didn't have any problems with the autosave in sam and max. In this game it says I am further in the game than I am. After I click on it, it doesn't take me to where it says it saved.

Default Save game sync, different computers? steam?

Hello everyone,

am I missing something or is it not possible to have the same progress on my different computers? I just got a new computer (where i can up the settings and play smoothly) and I'd like to transfer all the progress I've done in my previsou system. Any help? hints?

Also, is there any benefit on registering my non-steam version of the game in my steam account?

Thanks in advance!

Find the folder containing all of the BTTF game files(try searching for it in the memory), and in there should be the current saves and auto-save files. If you just transport that file you want between computers, you'll have the same progress. When I did it, the game had the file but none of the date/progress was shown on the load game screen. After loading it the progress was correct. Hope this was clear enough.
