Is there a good way to disable the intro movies? Yes, I can press space repeatedly to skip all 3 of them.

Usually, there is some config file entry or game option to disable them. I don't need to see intros more than once.

[Krell Darkmoon]

Spacebar skips them but no there is no disable for them

You managed to make that sound totally harder than it is. Good job!

Paste this into your .cfg file. ^_^

g_skipIntro = 1

Sadly, adding this to any of the 3 cfg files does not do any skipping.

To skip most of the intro movies follow these steps:
1. Navigate to this folder "C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\Game\"
2. Create these sub-folders "Libs" -> "UI" -> "FrontEnd" -> "Bumpers"
3. Your Directroy tree should now look like this: "C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\Game\Libs\UI\FrontEnd\Bumpers"
4. Now Create a New text file in the "Bumpers" folder and rename it to "Bumpers.xml", Make sure it's a XML Document and not a .txt file.
5. Then open the "Bumpers.xml" with notepad and paste this:

<Bumpers>
</Bumpers>

6.Then Save to file and run your game, If done correctly you should only see the atlas IGP/PGI intro, just hit space to skip that one.

Enjoy

Not sure if the OP has this problem, but I need to restart my client every two matches or the third one I drop to a game where I get less than one frame per second, if anything even renders at all. Runs fine for the first two, always breaks on the third. Believe you me, it is annoying to launch the patcher, launch the launcher, skip the movies, log in, wait for the game to load, and then drop again twenty times a night. Anything to take out a step is a welcome relief.

That is part of the ongoing and unsolved UI(User Interface) memory leak which is still affecting everyone.

[SirHitman]

Anyway to remove that last one to? or at the very least lower the sound on it.

Thanks for this thread! Bumping it for the benefit of a new generation :-)

If they are required to have logos at the beginning I would love to see them as permanent decals on a single log in page (hint, hint). Just put them in the lower left corner or something. Cryengine 3, Nvidia, PGI, and then IGP, too many. So annoying and unnecessary for the player.

Consider the login page for GW2, they have the best experience by far right now. A single splash screen requires credentials, click log in see the "news". Click Play, queue music, and click play on your character. So painless, streamlined, and BTW fast, probably less than 15 seconds total. It's I daresay comfortable logging in to GW2...

MWO, not so much...

Click MWO icon. c'mon! c'mon! Stompy Stompy Mechs, gotta Stomp!

Ugh splash screens, 1, 2, 3, and... 4, ugh MWO loading screen, flashy title, yeah, yeah, ok.

Paste password, oh wait, I cannot paste and it doesn't have option to remember.

T Y P E password, more loading, ugh wait for mechs to load, click Ready Mech wait, click Launch, UGH, wait for Searching...

Ack wait for black screen...

HoLY cRap! now wait for load screen, AHHRRGGGHH!! and... wait for Drop Screen. No! No! No! Wait for charming lady to tell me I turned the Mech On!!!!! Stompy, Stomp, Stomp, no wonder we are so aggressive at start of match. (as legs get alpha'ed out from under me by team mate)

As of the last patch, this method of disabling the intro movies no longer works for me. Anyone else having troubles with it?

Use the spacebar.

Yes, thank you for your brilliant insight.

I know they are skippable; if you'd read the thread, you'd know it's about disabling the intro movies, not skipping them.

And yes, I know it's a small thing. I'm not going to pretend this is some massive, game-breaking issue. But it is annoying, and I like to get rid of things that annoy me. If you don't find them annoying and are okay with having to skip them on load, I'm not sure why you're posting in this thread.

[Gralzeim]

Yeah, the bumpers thing doesn't work anymore. Unfortunate. Was nice being able to get into the game faster. (Yes, it was faster to not have most of the intro things play, than to hammer the spacebar)

[Clint Steel]

Why does Crysis lets you skip the intro with g_skipintro = 1, seems like MWO should too, but it doesn't work... Really hate having to mash my keyboard to get past these things.

[Koniving]

It's been disabled in the cfg file. >.> They want to smear their logos in your face.
