    Here it is, hope it reveals something.

    I'm going to call my isp as well. Maybe it is a problem with them after all...

    You could try unplugging your XBOX Controller and all other non essential USB devices.

    I would also update the Audio driver.

    Nope... didn't work.
    Updating the audio driver was probably important anyway, so thanks for that ;

    Have you tried starting it while connected through Hotspot shield yet?
    If it works then, it's probably a network issue.

    I talked to my isp and they say nothing's blocked... so I'm stumped.

    Nope. Still doesn't work. :/

    I wonder what could be wrong here...

    That's odd. Was the hotspot shield icon in the system tray green, while you started the game?

    I really don't have many ideas left...
    Let's go a few steps back.
    Do the launchers of episodes 1-4 still work?
    You can find the individual launchers in the installation folders of the episodes. This can be e.g.
    C:\Program Files\Telltale Games\Back to the Future The Game\Episode 1\BackToTheFuture101.exe
    for episode one.

    Well I uninstalled the other episodes to try that offline solution, but I did try them before I uninstalled them and they had the same problem.

    But they worked earlier on the same system?

    Yeah. I think episode 4 had a similar problem when I first tried to run it but after a day or so it worked fine, and I didn't do anything to solve it.

    The other episodes also had a problem but that was different and pressing ctrl shift and +/- fixed that.

    I think this is to hard to track down for me. It might be something that changed in your windows installation.

    If you have the resources you could try installing a second windows on another harddisk, so you can at least play the final episode.

    An alternative that doesn't change your current system too much is installing a windows in vmware player. The game would run a bit slower, but should be playable with your hardware.

    Thanks for the help... I could reinstall windows but it's too much of a hassle. I'll just wait till I upgrade or something :/
    I hope Telltale doesn't use this launcher again :P
