How to disable Intro Videos

Post by sabre100 »

Any way to disable the intro video's? They are nice looking but I dont want to wait for each one to load each time I play.. I want to go right to main menu


<edit: Sorry figured it out, seems if i delete the .avi and .wmv files from the game directory it goes right to main menu with no errors, excellent thanks>

Thanks

Personally, I just hit the "ESC" key as they begin to load (4 quick ones does the trick) and that takes me right to the game menu without permanently disabling anything. That generally works for all games.

Of course, if you are THAT impatient to get the game going... [:D][:D][:D]

You do know that there's an Option to Disable Into Videos, right?

I got annoyed after the 15th time skipping through them, and added it to the beginning menu [8D]

Text Contrast is there for reading some briefings under Maximum Contrast. Some are a lot more readable.
