Amending command line (path)

Gun Slinger · 09-07-07, 10:21 AM

It's not a big deal hitting the escape key twice to bypass the start-up company logo, and long prose intro, but in some games the path can be amended to skip all that. Left clicking the desk top icon and entering properties allows the user to change the start up command. I've been able to do that in Battlefield 42, and would be pleased if I could do that in this game.

Any Ideas? Thanks!

I belive it involves editing the config.ini file and point to null files.

Ill let someone that knows more about it than me explain the process.

There are no command line keys that Im aware of.

Personally I find it easier to just tap the esc key.

I got into the habit of tapping the desktop icon of my other game and it loaded. There is hardly any effort or time lost in tapping a key twice, but given an easy option; I'd take it. Thanks for the input.

If you've got the game installed in the default folder, follow this file path
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Movies\Intro
and just change the two file names. I just changed them to Introold.wmv, and Logoold.wmv. Now you won't see the vids when the game loads.

Or delete them altogether.

Simple fix.
