    Euphonik I got the same problem with that too because because all the signs were blank as well when I downloaded a free episode of BTTF episode#1 in fact I the people who downloaded might have the same problem as well? I think one of us should report this to IGN admittedly!

    I also have this problem, and have Emailed support. I'll post here if I get a response.

    Just downloaded free BTTF ep1 at Telltale website. Already registed at Telltale site & logged in with id/pw. Game login page won't accept id/pw. Please help.

    Hi,
    I just downloaded the free episode I from TellTaleGames, I registered on the site (this is difficult ! not easy to find where and how). However when trying to login the game, it says:
    "Sorry, but it does not look like you own Back to The Future..."
    How do I get to try the promised Episode I ?
    Thanks,
    Tal

    Same here. Spent a few hours trying and trying to log in, browsing the forums, trying the fixes for when this happened to users in early April.

    Has something changed with this to cause it to happen again? I got bored. I'll try again in a few weeks.

    Cannot log in as it keeps saying "I do not own the game", so where is the Free Episode that we are suppose to be able to play? Ya right typical BS. I am not wasting no more time with this uninstalling after this post. Shame they have to make episodes and cannot come out with the full version of it so why waste the money?

    I have to admit, I am also having the very same problem as everyone else. I was a big fan of the Back to the Future movies, and would love to try the first episode to see if I would like to order the whole thing. Please help all of us get into the FREE first episode.

    Yep, me too!! Glad I'm not the only one... Gutted

    Me too. Same problem... I would preciate some help..

    Also here. Let me know if you find any answer.
  • edited May 2011
    Me too. Clearly nobody in a position to do anything about this bothers to read their own support forum. Not a good sign.

    wow, I can't believe TT hasnt addressed this at all!
  • edited May 2011
    First post here, and unfortunately I have the same problem. Downloaded the first Episode for free and cant activate the Game. Do all Tellatale Games have to be activated? Havent bought anything yet, but this first impression doesnt contribute to buy anything if a freebie doenst even work properly. Sorry, if I sound rude.

    Best regards.

    Wow, talking about falling on deaf ears. I read about this game in PC gamer and it said they are offering episode one free. Guess I need to drop a line to PC gamer. They may not be listening to us, but I bet they will listen to a magazine that can tell the masses about crappy customer service. ;)

    Hi,

    You have to "order" the game fro us. Can you try going to telltalegames.com/bttf and clicking on the free episode banner?
    I'll contact file planet and pc gamer and ask them to remove the link they have.

    Just to be clear, this is still an issue for those of us who did order the first episode from Telltale (using the coupon code).
    For instance, I can see two completed orders for it on the "your games" page, but it does not show up in the available games, and the game tells me "it seems you do not own it."

    I've used both banners (pop-up and on the bttf game page), but have not been able to play.

    That's exactly what I did this morning, but the launch screen tells me I need to buy the game. (And it only accepts my forum user name, not the email address, even if it's exactly the same from the registration email.)

    That's where I did download the "Free" BTTF Episode 1 from (the Telltale website). I clicked the banner on the Telltale website, downloaded the file that popped up, installed it, and attempted to play the game. After I entered my user name and password, it tells me I either need to use another download link or buy the game. I uninstalled it, downloaded from the website again, and reinstalled it. Same thing happened again.

    No, it seems you're having technical problems with your authentification system, because as most people here, i also did exactly what you mentioned.

    I am now tryin to start this game since 4 days :mad::mad::mad:

    now its running (at me).

    I had the same problems, like some people here. But now it solved.

    Back to the Future Episode 1 of 5 have to be in your games list. But it wasn't at me. After I login today and join the BTTF page, something poped up and I could choose between buying the whole game or get free the first episode. After i choose the free version, the game was in the list and I could plax the game

    I hope I could help peoples here.

    He is right...go back to the BTTF main page...that download window will pop up for you. I clicked on the Episode 1 link, downloaded it, installed it, and this time everything worked.
