Turning speech off also disables narrative videos

FYI. I can't stand the in-game voice...notifications, in modern parlance. Their varying volume and repetition coming out of TC just kills me. "bearing...BEARING..bearing...BEARING...BEARING... "

SHUT THE **** UP, UMPTYSQUAT!!

So I disabled them. Turns out TC going to 1 and reading the log works well enough. After a couple of patrols, I realized I wasn't getting the video updates on the war, so I assume they're related. I suppose I should turn them back on before entering port.

Anywho. I assume the video files are just in the games directory. Any tips for playing them and catching up?

I don't remember if VideoLan (VLC) can play them or not, but there is a Bink Video Player the you could use on the files in the "GameFolder \Data \Movies \Missions" folder.

Is there a timeline for when the videos should play? I want to keep up with where I should be.
