epicelite Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Why can't I skip the introduction logo videos? I tried to just rename the files so it wouldn't read them and it makes the game crash. Look I know what the game engine is and who made the game, alright? I don't need to be reminded every time I load it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterps Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Rename the movies folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundShades Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 If you delete the videos, it should actually still run AND skip them appropiately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriemhild Gretchen Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Renaming the movies folder to Movies_ or outright deleting it worked for me. I don't know why it'd make it crash, though. I think that's a seperate issue. Can you post the log? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molested Bunny Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Dont touch UDKFrontEnd.udk_loading.bik and youll be fine. If you do it does make the game crash happy while loading maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOlsenTwins Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Maybe it would be a good idea to add the ability to skip logos to the options menu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truxa Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Maybe it would be a good idea to add the ability to skip logos to the options menu... Since when did companies add a legitimate way to bypass their logo's and thus the game's brand? I don't see this as an issue at all, I mean, c'mon... Whenever you start up a game, you always somehow get to wait or click away the company logo. Some games make it 3-4 logo's in a row and each need to be clicked away, or force the players to wait through it for atleast 10 seconds or more. It's just acknowledgement of the game's brand, the people who made it and with what tools! Even the game's name is important. This is just a silly issue imo. You guys are just lucky enough to be able to rename a movie folder so you can "bypass" it. But in no way is this supposed to be "oké" Try it with other games and you end up with a non-functional game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFJake Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Since when did companies add a legitimate way to bypass their logo's and thus the game's brand? They did it because they're not dickheads. Period. You allow this, you're a dick. Now, I'm sure as far as our current devs are concerned, the UDK probably forces this behavior (or are required by "contract" to leave it that way). So I won't blame them. But to make unskippable logos, you have to be a dick. Period. Edited November 5, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzdriver Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I know you can't do this with the launcher but you can run UDK.exe with the launch parameter -nomovie this should disable the starting cutscene. Perhaps there should be an option in the launcher for additional launch parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kil Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The next update of the launcher will have an option to skip movies (note this also means that loading screen, so don't be alarmed and think the game has hung when switching maps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's an excellent port. One of the things exemplifying this is the part where I can click five times in less than two seconds to skip past the five logos. Forcing someone to stare at logos every time they open a game is a dickhead move. The first time, it's cool. But past that, they already know who made the game.

Truxa Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Remember playstation 1? It took what, 1 minute or so to be able to start playing? Sony logo --> PS logo --> License and warnings --> Game intro --> Startscreen Point being, it took way longer before, why are these 10 seconds a "dick move" is beyond me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundShades Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Besides being loud, which many games are guilty of, the startup is short and cool looking. I don't see the problem with them. This was, at most, a problem when you needed to reload the game each match back in beta 2. Hearing that and losing 15 seconds every 20 minutes, was a viable reason to delete movies folder. Skipping with the ESC key is a nice feature to add. It isn't a requirement of functionality, don't get entitled with a free game or they will be glad to issue you a refund (lol) Why making the loading screens skippable is necesary is wierd. I already see the bug reports for loading screen freezes incoming, in mass. If possible, don't make the loading screen skippable or make some other non-movie element that says loading somewhere in text on it so people know better.

It isn't entitled to want to skip something you've seen a few dozen times already. It's irritating to be forced to sit through it. We know it's made with UDK, we know it's made by Totem Arts. Disable skipping for the first time, fine, that's fair, but after that, you should be able to hit ESC and skip through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted November 6, 2014 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted November 6, 2014 In PlayStation's case, that might be loading up the bios AS the logo playd I found that UDK's intro works like this (I can actually skip the Unreal Engine logo on SonicGDK's level if my computer has fully loaded the map) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
