I thought the buzzing sound was supposed to be a sound effect for the bug zapper....

both episodes 1 and 2 for me had a hideous black box around Marty if my graphics were turned up too high, even though my computer can handle it.

Have you upgraded your drivers? I had the same issue and updating removed the black lines around shadows.

Could Telltale do anything to fix these issues?

Telltale usually doesn't fix anything unless it's game-breaking.

The buzzing sound I am talking about is in the very first part of the game when you are watching the intro, sort of the recap of the end of part 1, and lasts for a few minutes.

Hello,

not sure if its a error in the game, but when they go back in the year 1985 Marty was driving but when they get their he is now on the copilot seat. Not sure how they got to manage it to switch their seats

Hi there,

Was going through the game for a second time this afternoon and discovered a serious bug where if you show the picture of George to Zane when you first walk in to the speakeasy, you will not receive a copy of the caricature nor will you be able to obtain it later as Marty claims he "wouldn't need a second copy".

Either there needs to be no reason for Zane to produce the caricature (makes no sense) or if the item were to appear in the inventory, this would incur a huge skip of most of the storyline. The latter is a more appropriate fix as there are few who would ever skip such a huge section of the game.

Zane will give you the caricature after Kid goes away to get the arsonist.

Not an error. You'll notice he also has his 80's clothes back, that's a time-skip cut: They went back in time with Marty driving, went to Doc's place so Marty could change back to the clothes he left before going to 1931 and then Doc drove him back home.

ecopper12 · 02/20/2011, 04:36 pm

Just something I noticed:

Not sure of the exact words in the hint, but when you are trying to get Cueball to play "You Should Care" and look at the hints, it says something about the soundtrack.

Problem: Soundtrack is spelled Sountrack.

That's all I can think of right now.

docbrown2015 · 02/20/2011, 05:52 pm

How many here are getting the slowdowns at around the Soup Kitchen and when Marty locks the Harness over Kid?

prizna · 02/20/2011, 09:32 pm

Does anyone know what is causing the major drop in FPS for some people in certain areas? Just seems weird since the whole game runs fine for me on the highest settings until the shoot out puzzle.

oh yeah major slowdowns mostly in and around the Soup Kitchen and in some cut scenes like when Doc pushes the laver to send Kid flying. I have been begging for help for days now.

Surely it cant be due to a slow computer concidering a lot of people who have mentioned the slowdowns have said that they have fast computers.

Also its such a major drop.

I totally agree my Friend, it's a pain..I don't know who to contact about this, it has to be fixed somehow.

jweir · 02/21/2011, 09:51 am

We don't KNOW anything about their computers prizna. Unless I've blinked and missed it, I've only seen one person mention their video card, but it's hard to do much/any diagnosis without at least knowing the CPU as well. You can have good of either and then crap of the other, but you really need good of both to say you have a "modern" or "fast" machine.

Mrfuture · 02/21/2011, 11:02 am

I don't know if this is a bug but first time I played. I had some audio problems at the speakeasy when I selected songs for Trixi to sing. When I selected I don't care. The song was gone and Cue ball and Trixi just played and singing without any sound.

I played Episode 2 form begining agan later, then it was OK, May be it was the order I selected songs. Since i now Knew what to do.

Barliesque · 02/21/2011, 11:25 am

In the speakeasy, while speaking to Officer Parker, there's a woman in an alcove behind him. At certain angles, that woman vanishes and on the seat next to hers, Kid appears to be seated. I'm guessing that he will be appropriately seated in that spot later in the game, but I'm certainly not at that point yet.

I also have *not* experienced the name bug. Everybody correctly calls him Michael Corleone.

I'm running the version distributed through Steam.

Hassat Hunter · 02/21/2011, 03:06 pm

Regarding the names; The name chosen in ep. 1 is saved in your register. If you lock your computer off too severe (Vista and 7 love doing that) that can result in the name not being noted in BOTH episodes. This isn't an issue with the game, allow it to write into the registry and pretty much all your issues mysteriously dissapear.

Unmentioned issues I noticed:
* If you select Emmett (without stick) he looks at you. Shouldn't he see the 2 marty's then? Think he should keep his back turned as he does when selecting him (and after the scene).
* Martys. Shouldn't it be Marty's? (Clicking Edna during that scene, stickless)
* The "Exterminator" line got a 'the' too many in the subtitles. (Your the rats away?)
* Mr. Crockett? It's been Michael Corleone all along for the rest of the episode. Slip? (Talking to Edna after Einy incident)
* reanimating the dead,does it? (typo. There are a LOT of issues with spacing with the , sign in this episode. Usually it's a space too many than a space too little like here though)
* Mechnamism? (Mechanism) (typo 2 for Doc)
* Parker reformed speech to Edna; "Back to the Future" is cut from VO but not subtitles, and "hallelujiah".
* Give caracature to Emmett and suddenly he's back on the floor for the cutscene.

I'll add them, just let me verify the circumstances of some of those.

prizna · 02/22/2011, 08:22 pm

Here is an annoyance:

This isn't necessary in the game but after Einstein appears near "El Kid" if you try to use Artie's pipe on Einstein, Marty says "There's only a few people (and maybe an animal or two) who'd be interested in grandpas smelly old pipe, but this isn't one of them" this obviously makes no sense.
