There is currently an issue as of Day 1 release version of the game where the video game trailer is unskippable, and you are forced to keep watching the same trailer everytime you start the game without an ability to skip it. Frankly, there is a way to fix this.
1. Locate your GameUserSettings.ini
Since the game runs on Unreal Engine 5, we are able to do following steps to prevent startup movies from playing.
Go to Windows explorer, and type in %AppData%. This will take you to ./AppData/Roaming like this:
You can just click on AppData in the path to go up to the folder parent, and then go down the path which should look like this:
2. Open GameUserSettings.ini
Use the text editor of your choice, I use Notepad++ as an example, and open the GameUserSettings.ini file.
You will see an abundance of user preference’s related code that is tied to NMRiH 2, you will have to change nothing. You will need to add the following line under [/script/engine.gameusersettings]:
SkipStartupMovies=1
It should look like this.
Make sure that the line is under correct section of the config file, and then hit Save.
3. Enjoy a Quick Startup!
You will be met with a loading screen that is required for pre-warming game’s shaders, and with a Tornbanner studios brand video which is skippable if you press any button!
I hope this guide helps you to be less annoyed about this game until Turnbanner gets to the solution for the current early access build.
