Boot Civ without the intro video playing...

[LikeCiv]

Any chance there is an option to start civ without the intro video loading?

There's an option you can change in the .ini file

Yes there is. You have to go into your settings, C:\what ever your name is\where ever you civiliazation folder is\ then look for your .ini file. Under video intro, change it to 1 or 0.

Sorry I can't remember the exact location. I believe if you do a search you will find the exact path and number to put it.

All you will get is a black screen for about a minute or so depending on how fast your computer is, so it's still loading, just no indication of it though.

*edit* You have 2 differnet Civ location files. Not the one with the main files, but like the other one, in my games or something like that.

Navigate to My Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization V/

Look for the file "Usersettings.ini" and open it in a text editor like Notepad

Search for the variable "SkipIntroVideo = 0"

Change the 0 to 1

I would suggest not doing this because I did this and it worked fine for a day or two but then one time I loaded it and all of the words disappeared from main menu...

When you've changed "SkipIntroVideo = 1", and loaded it up again, you'll realize the reason why they've hidden this option in a file and why they had the video anyway. The video hides the long game load, during which you'll now just see a black screen.

In fact, i think turning off the intro video actually makes the game loading faster... at least i feel this way after i turned it off..
