The browser shows the background for episode one with no links/play button to start the second episode.

macbookair · 02/19/2011, 08:11 pm

i can't play it at all.It just quits unexpectedly all the time for 3 whole days.I don't think I can take it much longer.Please help me.

jhuddy · 02/19/2011, 08:37 pm

i figured out a way to launch the game. first click on start and find the "Tell Tale" link, open it and click on episode one. when that window opens click on episode 2 and hit play. and thats all i did for it to work.

LK8B · 02/20/2011, 02:36 am

i played EP1 by using the terminal services and entered this command:

sudo /Applications/BackToTheFuture101.app/Contents/MacOS/Mac_Game

the game worked

did the same thing for Ep2, i tried and it worked

sudo /Applications/BackToTheFuture102.app/Contents/MacOS/Mac_Game

the password is your admin password not serial number

HAVE FUN

I cant get in though, so there's like no way to solve my impossible problem! I tried again today and same thing. Is there something there not telling us?Are they making the jurassic park game that it won't work? There has to be more than just quitting unexpectedly! I really wan't to play. This has happened for 4 days now! I bought it, I downloaded episode 2 then it froze,and I restarted it and it quit unexpectedly! Is there something wrong I did!?!Please help me.

LK8B · 02/20/2011, 09:51 am

launch ep1 and select from the screen ep2...i tried this before and worked but i couldnt save the game...

cursedmonkey · 02/20/2011, 03:13 pm

Not working for me either. Tried everything in this thread.

macbookair · 02/20/2011, 05:10 pm

What I mean is that I can't go on the back to the future game at all. It quits every time! Please figure something out. I have no idea what to do. When I payed $24 for this it worked, but now it's not letting me get on! Please,please,please help me.

Olodyn · 02/20/2011, 11:20 pm

I have the same problem but I'm not on a mac. I'm on Windows Vista Ultimate. Running as administrator etc. didn't solve the problem.

Olodyn · 02/20/2011, 11:25 pm

Allright, found a fix for Windows at least.

You have to go to Episode 1's launcher in Program Files (not just the shortcut, actual launcher) and then "Run as Admin". Then I had to relog and it activated ep. 2.

Seriously stupid system, though.

Fancypants · 02/21/2011, 01:23 am

Exactly the same problem here, on a macbook. Anyone from Telltale feels like giving us an answer??

supersean579 · 02/21/2011, 03:01 pm

I am having the same exact problem. Is a fix coming?

macbookair · 02/21/2011, 04:27 pm

I know whats wrong with it! It WONT play! I mean seriously why CANT it play for the mac players!?! What should I do!?! Do I re-download the game?Tell meee! Im VERY frustrated!!! >

mschrag · 02/21/2011, 05:01 pm

the problem for me is that the first ICMP packet to telltalegames.com always fails:

edgar:~ mschrag$ ping telltalegames.com
PING telltalegames.com (74.52.103.162): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
64 bytes from 74.52.103.162: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=98.499 ms

during the startup process of the launcher, it tries to ping telltalegames.com but with a "ping -c 1" which returns with 100% packet loss, making you appear to be offline = launch screen doesn't work.

if you're daring, this fixed it for me (BACKUP YOUR Mac_Game EXECUTABLE FIRST!)

perl -pi -e 's#ping -c 1#ping -c 2#' /Applications/BackToTheFuture102.app/Contents/MacOS/Mac_Game

this will change the "ping -c 1" into a "ping -c 2" which then made the launcher realize i was online.

hopefully this will help other folks.
