No More intro movies

...also known as "yay, my ears aren't bleeding anymore"...

Anyway, I was lead to this forum where there is a discussion and link to a program that will remove the startup movies.

Yes, it's cracking the client. I don't share this with you lightly. We had a lot of discussion about it in the officer's forums first.

I ran it about two weeks ago, and I haven't had anything negative happen. There's no indication that it resides in memory or triggers punkbuster. I haven't had any account troubles (if someone stole my password...they've been logging in and giving me money!)

Our general consensus was that we've already paid for the game, the program companies that developed it and are responsible for the game we purchased and continue to pay to play have already got their advertising time in. They don't get more money the more times their ad plays. So they're not out anything.

Cracking the client for the purpose of removing the movies does not appear to be against the spirit of what some have linked in the EULA. Of course, it's not written in plain English, so it's hard to tell what Mythic is trying to say :)

Lastly, I urge you to use this only if you are comfortable with it. If you have reservations or feel convicted to not use it, feel free to never follow the link.

I've used this for a couple of weeks as well with no issues, I scanned the file before installing and avg came up clean, no problems since using it as well.

gotta say it's nice starting the game and going straight to the click accept screen.
 
What is going on that would require this. Slower computers? I just hit escape and I'm through the logos in about a minute.

for me, it's just impatience, with this installed, once you hit play from the patcher it goes straight to the eula and you're in, really becomes nice when you get kicked and wanna get back in a hurry.
 
Aye. It's just a matter of impatience, not wanting to sit through the intro movies that I've seen a few hundred times already...and get back to the game I'm paying for. It's basically like hitting the "main menu" on a DVD and missing all the previews that you've already seen.

That, and the movies play so loud that I have to take off my headset because they hurt my ears... but the game volume is so low that I can barely hear it... so they're not linked in any way at all ><
