Sound cut off at the end - german version

[bitterlemon]

Hi,

while playing BTTF1 the sound cuts of very often in the german version. It looks like the german sound files for a german sentence are longer then the english sentences and the programmer just gave them time of the english version.

The Problem appears at the same sentences every time. it's repeatable.

It also apears, if i set quality settings to the lowest point.

PS: My Computer should be fast enough.

[Timett]

Same here. Updated my audio-driver just in case but no change. These cut-off lines are quite annoying, but great game anyway

[Private]

same here. please fix this. it's terrible and destroys the game not to hear the phrases until the bitter end. even though you didn't manage or did not want to manage to get (damn, why not?!) the real german synchron-speakers for the game, i'm very interested in hearing, what is uttered by the characters.

and please also fix the terrible and non-understandable difference between the written text and the one, which is spoken by the characters. how can these failures be made?

...and don't forget the mistake in the beginning (mall with Doc and Marty) where the voice of Marty (!) and not the voice of Doc utters Doc's formulas.

[Abramson]

same here,

fix it a.s.a.p. Telltale!

We can only fix it if it's a widespread issue and we know whats causing it. If you're using windows can you post your dxdiags or OS versions if your on Mac. I honestly haven't had anyone write into support about this and we can't reproduce it here, so it's limited to just four people it may be something we can't fix.

[Abramson]

I dont think it is limited to only four people, search for the german version of the game in youtube and you will find the bug in every video (in the same sentences).
What Bitterlemon says:
"It looks like the german sound files for a german sentence are longer then the english sentences and the programmer just gave them time of the english version.

here is my dxdiag, splittet in two parts

[Skipper]

Same to me! I tried it from 2 Pc's one with WinXP one with Win7. Both are having this cut off problem! Please fix this for Epsiode I and further releases!

[EarMaster]

Same here. I suppose it is caused because the German sentences are longer than the English ones. I also have the opposite effect that the characters move their mouths but are already finished with speaking their words.

[bitterlemon]

i didn't played it from the beginning yet. but maybe someone could play BTTF1 german on PC and tell the programmers exactly one sentence where the problem appears, so that they could see it for itself. Maybe that would be enough to find the mistake.

@Abrason:
Maybe you could post the link to the videos with the seconds you found the mistake.

[Abramson]

I made some links directly to the beginning of the cut off sentences:

@Amy Lukima:

the very early sound problem in the game, which "Abramson" found in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKNr7...ailpage#t=373s

appers the same way on my machine (Thinkpad). For test reasons I installed it on the machine from my girlfriend (Dell). So the error appears in the video and on two PCs I have here.

Therefor it's sadly a 100% repeatable game error on different PCs with the german BTTF1.

[Abramson]

I installed the game on two different PCs, the same cut-off error.
It is a bug in the game, not from the machines...

[bitterlemon]

...if you look in the inventory and look at docs notes, you'll find an easy to repeat sound error.

"...ich sollte sicher gehen das es nicht in die falschen Hände fällt".

the sounds cuts of while saying "Hände". "fällt" is totally missing.

Because this error is easy to find, maybe some more Mac and PC users could test it and post their result here.

[oimel]

This seems not to be a problem "limited to just four people" :

I had exactly the same problem with cut off sounds. I would be very glad to have this fixed because I really like the German version (besides this and some other little bugs).

I only didn't mail support because I played the english version after testing the german version for a short while AND experiencing the cut offs. I think you can be sure that the mistake is on every single machine easy to reproduce.

@Telltale Team:
the error is known for a month now. Please let us know, when you think this error will be fixed. I stopped playing BTTF1 because of it, and I'd like to start playing again soon.

Thanks.

[Nightsurfer]

Just want to add that I have the same problem with the missing end of sentences for the German version.
