Splash Screen

Post by bill_k »

When ever I start the game, the first screen that appears is the screen asking me if I want to install the game. I have to close it out and then click on the icon on my desktop to get to the start screen. How can I avoid having to do this every time.

I hate that too. Its a really annoying splash screen too that doesn't go away quickly.

Options:
1) Disable autoplay for everything.
2) Leave the UV cd in the drive.

Sorry I can't help more.
I love it when a plan comes together.

If that you meant isn't the autoplay menu, but the one that appears when you launch the game, you have to delete the link in your "start" folder, and replace it with the .exe in the UV folder

Create a shortcut straight to UncommonValor.exe and you'll avoid the splash screen.

When you insert the UV CD, hold down the Shift key and the splash screen won't appear.

And to continue this thread I hate when you close the game and you get that one screen that you get when you start the game but also the game credits. It seems like forever to just quite the game. I was able to get rid of some of the screens starting the game but can't quite figure out how to deal with the end game screens.

David,

Don't get rid of the intro screens, perhaps just "make" us view them the first time we run the program, with the option of "replay intro" for review. Personally, I enjoy intro screens... at least once...!

We will not be getting rid of them but changing the way they work.
