It's not working for WotC

To use parameters, just go to XCOM2, right click to properties then set launch options.

At least tell us non-modders how to 'use the parameter'. It is not obvious to most of us

no effect

No work no more no woman no cry.

Does not work anymore.

@Plutia: You can set command-line parameters with the alternative mod launcher... but regardless, I will be looking into why this isn't working soon.

@Bloodshed
you must use the regular mod launcher... it's not good enough and doesn't sort properly. for those of us using a proper mod launcher we need this and this doesn't work.

does not work anymore...

Mod still does not work :(

Same here. The mod doesn't seem to work anymore.

The mod refuses now to work. More to the point, it is that way scince yesterday. Must be the patch / DLC. I did unsubscribe / subscribe, started the game, played a bit, left XCOM2, started it again (and tried this a couple of times more, scince I was searching a mod causing freeze frames) and everytime I get the full intro.

External mod launchers can't use -nostartupmovies so this mod is still necessary. Better than editing ini file each time we wipe out the config files.

This mod is totally unnecessary.

Just start the game with -nostartupmovies

I'm suprised nobody has made a 'No Dropship Cutscene' mod yet

Verifying game file cache did not work. However the following did:

- Unsubscribe from mod in Steam
- Launch game then quit
- Resubscribe in Steam
- Launch Game
- Activating the mod in the launch menu
- Click on Play
- Quit game
- Launch again

At that point the mod began working. It is possible one or more steps are unncessarry but that is what I had to do.

I am having a similar issue with other mods (though not all) and will try the same with them.

I also see the movies after the patch. I've restarted a couple of times to no avail. I am currently verifying game files cache and will post back if it resolves it.

yeah read that

@Element Xcom2: From the patch notes: "Required User Action: If you have mods enabled after installing the patch, launch it once, close the game, and launch it again. Players will only have to do this once. After the restart, the game will have initialized the patch to work with mods."

patch messed it up

Apologies, the non-similar handles led me to not knowing :P But thanks for making the information concisely available so that others can be informed.

@IceMaverick: I wrote that post, so yes I'm aware of it :)

Hey. I'm posting for broadcasting volume to mod authors I'm subbed to, in case this applies to you and you haven't yet fixed the Memory issues inherent to many mods due to a ModBuddy error: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/comments/48c8v3/psavoicepacks_and_other_mods_to_a_lesser_extent/

Please double check if this bug in ModBuddy may apply to your mod to help modded X2 games run better.

good

@dennis.danilov: Good news! Check out the mod made by IphStich and myself, Instant Avenger Menus

@Jake: seconded, the globe animation makes me sick.

Would you consider uploading this mod to the Nexus? Thank you!

Thx very...

Thank you very much.

Well.. thanks for this mod anyways!

Is this really necessary?

You don't need this mod to make loading saves harder. Just go to your Steam Library. Right click this game. Go to properties. Click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS... enter this line: -nostartupmovies

Hi, if you checked out to disable the startup movies you may found the ini entry to disable the bridge animation too. I am tired to see every time this white globe, comming closer and then sucked in. I want to to jump directly to the worldmap and start navigation. I would appreciate if someone have a clue how to disable it .

@BlueRaja but it is more reliable to edit the INIs your self its not like it is hard then rely on a steam workshop mod to do it for you i dont know if you know it but steam workshop has a very bad reputation when it comes to mod reliability compared to NMM Mod Organizer combined Nexusmods for a number of reasons the biggest is the auto update that steam workshop has in short gopher explained it well in his video "Mod Organizer #9 - Steam Workshop" Jump to 4:36 (link at the end) where he explains exactly why steam workshop is a bad idea it is a 2 year old video but as far as i noticed auto update is still enabled so the video is still accurate in short if you have multiple mods from Nexus mods and / or workshop and they all work fine toghether one mod can be updated and crash the entire game since workshop do not allow you to use older versions and there is a profile issue as well https://youtu.be/C9oA-nsj4VY?t=4m36s

NIce one :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

@Tarthor because we'll be playing this game a lot and we don't need to seem them every single time

I really dont understand. Can someone explain to me why everyone wants to skip the opening movie?

Thanks, saves me the time for doing it manually.

There is a launch option that does this without deleting .bik files or changing the ini config.

-nostartupmovies

Love this mod, but it will makes 2K sad . lol

About half of the mods on the workshop are simple ini edits. The point is to be able to enable them with the push of a button, rather than having to muck around in configuration files.

@ =M$= Dark Half
It's actually XComEngine.ini file, not XComGame.ini
But the settings are right.

Or you can use the launch option "-nostartupmovies".

You dont really need a mod for this simply go to Documents My Games XCOM2 XComGame Config and open the Xcomgame.ini and Ctrl-f "startupmovies" and delete these 5 lines

StartupMovies=X2_2KFXS_Logos
StartupMovies=X2_Logo
StartupMovies=UE3TechLogo_XC2
StartupMovies=XC2_LegalScreen
StartupMovies=Black

Okay so, either the lastest version fixed it or you actually have to load a save in order to make it work.

Anyway, works now! Thanks!

It doesn't work. Restarted game after installing mod, but still, not working.

Works just like he said! Saves 10 seconds or so every time and with a game with tons of mod potential it can save some time!

Works exactly as he says. Start once, it fails. Quit. Start again and the movies are gone! You are a goddam hero, sir. Thanks!

@Xeon and others: Please try with the latest version.
