No cut scene

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Is there a way of loading Odyssey without having the intro cut scene play? I.e. go directly to game.

You can press ESC to skip it, not sure if it shortens the overall loading times though.

Yeah, I was hoping there was a way of bypassing complletely without the need to interrupt.

Well, the webm file for the intro is in the movie folder in the game folders, whether replacing it with a blank/short clip with the same filename will 'bypass' it or bork the game booting all together is a matter of testing.

I don't think it affects the load time, It's just there to make the wait less bleak.
If you prefer, you can find the cut scene in one of the install folders, and you might replace it with something else of your liking!

Doesn't help at all, but it's fun.

People are weird. So it sounds like you're sat in front of the computer, impatiently watching the start-up video, but refuse to click your mouse ...

I think I bypassed once, just to see if it worked, but otherwise it's over before I even notice

I've done exactly that, and replaced the Odyssey intro with the Arena intro (just renaming) and it worked fine.

My hand is usually on my mouse to begin with, it takes a fraction of a second to click, otherwise I take the time to check my phone, or get a drink.
