Not sure what's going on but I can say that it's not a Windows 7 problem. I'm running it on windows 7 (on a computer that just barely meets minimum spec to boot) and I can save fine.
Anyway, for SethPDA, I have tried to upload my save file from shortly after Marty has arrived in 1931. Basically I got there and had the first conversation there (if you've played it this far you'll know who this is with!) but haven't done anything else. I hope I uploaded the right thing and did it properly, never done this before!
Hope this helps, or at least means you don't have to replay the beginning.
Not as yet, no (I'm playing in very bitesize chunks at the moment - got so much else to do!) I'll make sure to make a save file when I get to that point though, so if you haven't got it fixed by then I'll get it to you.
You know, you can't save your game from the main menu if a game isn't started. Start a game, get a little farther, and then try to save. Maybe the load menu doesn't appear unless you have a save game. It works fine for me.
How many of you are using Windows 7 64bit? That could be it
it is not, im using it and i have no problems at all with saving.
@musicallyinspired: just checked, i deleted my savefiles and i can save right after i started a new game. its not that there has to be an autosavefile or something...
you said "unless you have a save game", thats quite the same. and you cant save yourself if you dont have the menu optoin. so the only possible save that "activates" the menu could be a autosave. got it?....

when I first try to save I was in front of the liquor store (after I had the dog sniffed the shoe) and the save and load menu wasn't there yet, that point is not the very beginning anyway, unless you all confirm that the menu appears right after the first time travel
Hi Milkman! As requested, save file in the exact location you specified, if you still need it. As to the other task you have to do at that point I have
located Arthur, but done nothing on it beyond that.
No,there is not...
Here is my main menu after I played the game a lot,no autosave,there is no anything.
thats bad =( i don't know why im guessing something is wrong in a game like a bug or something and cool so the menu gonna be like this on PS3 ??? awesome cant wait!!!!:p
I wasn't referring to an autosave in that post. I didn't know the menu didn't show up while you were playing. All everyone kept saying is that they couldn't load anything and posted screenshots of the main menu, not the regular game. Maybe it's a permissions thing? Maybe the user doesn't actually have access to the save game folder? I don't know....I'm only on WinXP here and don't have this problem.
I was used to previous Sam and Max games where you quit and then resume the game. It auto-saved when you quit. This doesn't seem to be the case with BTTF. I quit and went back and hit resume and the game had not saved where I quit. I just lost a lot of game play. :mad:
Do I have to manually save each time I quit the game?
People with no save or load option are running the pirate version. Which is pretty obvious from their post count and their posting of a crack fix. Christ, I mention the possibility of an illegal version being available and I get strung by the masses, yet it's fine for these people to get free tech support on an actual warez version and link to files for each other. What a fucking joke. You guys principles are all messed up, Your helping half the fucking board play an illegal version of the game.

actually santa claus brought me this game, didn't expect him to be into software piracy
of course! but is there something left legal in this world?
So you're admitting the version your playing and trying to get support for is an Illegal version that you didn't buy from official channels? If so, then I've proved my point on what I was saying haven't I? Yet it's perfectly acceptable to the other regulars of this forum for you people to do this. Yet when I merely mention warez without actually having done anything of the kind I get called to be banned. Nice.

who mentioned warez stuff? you did, and you do deserve to be banned, not me, never claimed to have a warez version, if you believe this issue strictly affects illegal copies well it's your problems not ours.

Yeah I am not having a problem at all. There is a save/load option plus autosave. I use PC.

sorry pal but I'm reading nothing resolutive in your posts, what do I have to do exactly to make this damn save menu appear?
Other than that, I have no idea how or why the autosave wouldn't be generated, and why you'd have no save game option. Just strange.
Do I have to manually save each time I quit the game?
This is a serious bug for the game.
I'm running the PC version on Vista 64-Bit.
I'm running Vista 64-Bit - I'm beginning to think that it's 64-Bit systems that the problem is on.
Can anyone confirm which bit system they're running and whether they can Save/Load or not?
Telltale should release a patch for this.

If it had been a legal version you would have been able to save your game.
of course! but is there something left legal in this world?

Here's an idea, stop using the cracked version.
It's not a bug, it's a DRM feature. You're running an illegal version of the game.
who mentioned warez stuff? you did, and you do deserve to be banned, not me, never claimed to have a warez version, if you believe this issue strictly affects illegal copies well it's your problems not ours.
so stop playing innocent and buy the game, idiot.
btw. and stop this "who metioned warez stuff??? you did, not me" BLAAAAAAAAH, your post no. 43 really makes me believe your using the pirated version.
edit: and could someone please delete the link to the crackfix??
