Perhaps this is already in the game, but I've not been able to figure out how:

It would be nice to have a better way of turning off the intro movies then having to remove or rename the movie files. It's tiresome to have to sit through the 30 seconds or so of the Matrix logo/ApeZone globe everytime the game starts. After all, most people know who they bought the game from. Many games intro/credit screens allow a spacebar or ESC keypress to skip. Alternatively allow a preference "Quick Start" that could be set that eliminates the videos entirely.

Thanks,

D.

there is no button. i already tried too. i read almost every messages in this forum before and after i got sudg. that was an earlier probably. now im not sure about how right this is but im pretty sure they have to leave it in there or something where they cant change it because in the earlier post i think someone complained, and andrew said they werent allowed to change it or there was no way or there are other things he wanted to work on besides that.

but he did say if it bugs you that much, you should just tack on a number at the beginning of the file names and they wont play in the beginning. which is what i do. the game goes strait into the main menu. :cool:

You can space bar/press any key passed the intro movie, just not the matrix/apezone logos (sorry). I'd suggest you just go into the Movies directory, create a subfolder and move the avi's into the new subfolder.
