I wish to skip the intro movies, well some people may call them the logo intro movies, but in any case, i am referring to the group of annoying Intro movies, that your forced to view before you get to the game selections to start a new game, load etc.

The problem is, I often need to shut the game down and start up various times a day, due to many reasons in my life, none are technical errors, so no need to worry about that.

I want to be able to sip or be able to delete the start up movies, so when I click to start up the game, it will go straight to the main menu.

I know so many games you can just hit ESC or ENTER and it will jump past the logo's/intro and go directly to main menu, but this game doesn't allow this to happen. I have found in games such as Div 2 ED, that doesn't allow you to skip the intro's, that you can usually download a file that will help.

In some cases, simply edit a config file to do it, but I cannot find in any of the games files that allow you to do this, well I cannot find the file that has this option at all. I have found 3 files called the following:

achievements.dv2
graphicoptions.xml
settings.dv2

I have been able to open up "graphicoptions.xml" but the other 2 files are in a file format that I haven't opened yet.

I was hoping if someone would know of an ability to allow me to skip these irritating intro logo's, so I can start up the game a much faster way. I really do not want to have to edit any files unless I am told to do so, but there must be a safe way to do this without any problems. So i am hoping someone might read this that has done what i am asking that could tell me how to do this.

Thank you very much for your time and for any help that anyone is able to provide. Thanks

In Windows Explorer can you browse to the video folder and rename the intro.wmv file to get the game skip it?

Cool, i found the file, but how should i rename it, do i rename the word intro, or the .wmv file type at the end. Basically for the moment I have just named it nointro.wmv, but I need to know if the wmv file should be changed, say to txt?

Just rename it anything other than 'intro.wmv'. I renamed mine 'XXintro.wmv' and that did the trick.
