Removing the intro movies (Tag: Guide)

The intros of the BF series games are pretty impressive. After having seen them about a dozen times though, they get annoying. You dont want to see the movie or the logos flickering over your screen anymore, you want to get into the action and play the game. Here is how you can do it.


We are not responsible if you do something wrong with this guide and your computer or your game does not work anymore. So doing anything described in this guide is at your own risk!


You first need the basic directory where you installed your game. I call it for now InstallDir. Now you need to go with your windows explorer to the folder InstallDir\mods\bf2142\Movies and take a good look. You see some files ending in ".bik" there. Those are the movies. Now you an either rename them (popular is to rename the ending to ".bak" which is an old name for backup files) or if you are sure what you are doing, simply delete those files. Again, do not delete them unless you are sure what you are doing there.

You can also just rename the movies directory to movies1, this will also disable the intro movies.

From now on, when you start the game, you will no longer see those intro movies, neither the company logos. The screen might flicker a couple times, and then you see the login screen directly.
