As someone else mentioned, I downloaded the save file that puzzlebox posted, got past the glass house, but now the detective and strickland are both missing. Will they reappear or should I just restart a new game?
I am pretty sure that is because that part of the game was completed in that save file.
I'm using the Steam version and with the save that was posted, I was able to get through the glass house but I cannot talk to Parker or Edna since they disappeared.
Even though the people here said you'd have to give the recording to Parker again, I actually didn't have to. The game went on as if I already did the phonebooth puzzle, and technically I DID. It's as if the two saves got crossed or something, even though I removed the old one. Very strange.
Point is, don't worry about it. I just finished the episode using this save.

Same here.. Did not have to redo that part even though i used the save game posted in this thread.
I started a new game with the latest installer. I did a lot of voice skipping to get back to the right point but I was able to continue past this point where it was impossible before.
It's been working great since then but I'm going to have to stop playing for now - I have an exam tomorrow!
i think the saves got mixed up when i used the save from here, which up to that point i had snitched on edna with the plant recorder and then got stuck on the glass house then used this save i just had to go back to the glass house and was able to complete the finalle'
restarting the game and going in the glass house BEFORE talking to diver DOES cause the bug in my steam install
ran into it also, as well as 3 of my friends down the street. First game breaking bug I've seen in the series. I usually don't complain, but I find it hard to believe that this game went through "extra testing" (I knew that would bite him when he said it) and NO ONE skipped dialogue. I'm just grouchy today.
Thanks to everyone who sent in save games. We think we've isolated the cause of the issue. Do NOT go into the glass house before you talk to the diver about where Emmet is. It seems very likely that this is what's causing the problem.
We're working on testing a fix for this and a few other reported issues right now. As soon as all the fixes are in and confirmed to work (an not to break anything else!), we'll be putting up a patched version of the game.
I don't have an exact ETA for this, but it's a very high priority for us. Rest assured, it'll be released as soon as possible.
No, I asked the diver about Emmett before I went into the glass house, and I still can't click on anything when I'm in there. However, the last person I talked to was Artie, and one of the dialogue options was "Emmett's in the glass house!" or something like that. That option appeared before I had actually seen him through the glass. Additionally, the very first exhibit I went into was the glass house, but I walked right back out because Emmett wasn't in there. I'm wondering if that's where this bug comes from.
that save file won't work for me. i renamed all my other save files to .bak and left that one there and it said i had no save games, so i renamed it to .save and when i try to load the save game it just sits there and never loads.

That was exactly what he said causes the bug. If you first go into the glass house and see that cutscene where Marty says that there's no-one in there, then when you later go in there, following young and old doc, you get the bug.
Do not go into the glass house before the game shows you the cutscene with the two docs in there.

Did you unzip the file first? What system are you using? That's a savegame from a Windows 7 PC, don't know if the OS makes a difference.
So I replayed it earlier differently to finish. However I wanted to do some testing of my own and it backs up the TellTale guy's findings.
This play through I recreated my first play through perfectly except one difference. This time I didn't go in there before talking to the diver. Sure enough it worked without a problem. Before I had gone in there before talking to the diver to find out they were in there and it had glitched. So it sucks that the glitch is in there but it's nice to see that I can finish the game without having to handle the glasshouse first.
After encountering this bug, I started a new game from the beginning and I was able to progress once I made it back. The strange thing was that when I opened the yellow door, Marty walked through, then immediately sank through the floor. He emerged from behind the entertainment center, and I was able to progress normally. I'm not sure that's the intended behavior.
Thank you, puzzlebox.
I haven't finished the game yet, but your savegame from post #53 allowed me to play past the glass house (on Mac, put the savegame in the /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/BackToTheFuture105 folder).

The exit is but the sinking into the floor isn't intended. I noticed that from my 2nd playthrough to the 3rd that if you encounter the sinking through the floor glitch you don't see the cutscene of
FCB knocking his younger self out with chloroform
. You can still continue and complete it like normal but you just don't see that cutscene.
Had the same bug on the PC version- I had ended up in the Glass House without being able to click on anything. Downloaded the save from the very first post in this thread, copied it into my save file directory. All you have to do is talk to the diver, then walk towards the Glass House. I was then able to click on the panel handles, and the glass floor in the starting area. Just after finishing the game, it was fantastic!
By making sure you speak with the Diver (Jacques DeTeux) BEFORE trying to enter the glass the bug seems to be averted. (although I did walk downstairs through the floor still...)
A new version was just posted which should fix the "can't click on anything" bug in the glass house. The bug is early in the game so please download and try this new version if you are stuck on this bug. We tested the heck out of the episode but somehow that particular bug was missed. The people on this thread helped us quickly identify and fix the bug. Please post back here if that new version does or doesn't fix the problem. Thanks & sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

Nice. I'm downloading it now. I'll be sure to give it the same run through I did before.

I used IZArc to zip them, that should work to unzip them. Sorry I can't attach them raw (forum won't allow it).

thanks for the save, I'm trying it out.
I (and several other people) have played right from that save without issue. If you need a savegame from the end of the glass house puzzle, look here.
I zip my files using IZArc, if you use that to unzip them you should be ok. Sorry I can't attach them raw - the forum won't accept them unless zipped.

btw...stunning game finale...
I am envious of anyone who has been able to actually PLAY this game beyond these glitches. Nothing is working for me.
I love this series and am super bummed right now. GNAR!
