Option to Disable Intro Video

[KQRaccoon]

In game option or launch flag to disable the intro video. Kind of whack to have to keep deleting the video files in order to accomplish this.

If this helps, I did automate it with batch :

M:
cd "M:\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Movies"
DEL /F /Q Ident_Frontier*.webm
cd "M:\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\Movies"
DEL /F /Q Ident_Frontier*.webm

but I think this option is in deed missing anyway...

Didn't even cross my mind to do that. Thank you for sharing your work

Better option: replace the webm file with a zero-byte file, and then mark it as readonly. You skip the intro video, and it doesn't get restored by updates.
