Disabling Intro Video

[seireikhaan]

Could anyone help me with this? The game lags horribly for a couple minutes while the intro movie is "warming up"(). Rather annoying, particularly because I don't seem to be having any other real issues.

It lags for me as well, but pressing ESC skips it just fine.

I'm trying to figure out that too.


And where they heck the save games are stored! I tried a search and came up with nothing. My first thought was they were being saved on Steam... but I have access to them in offline mode so that would contraindicate (and it would be pretty silly too!)

The folder must have a name without "save" in it. Funny, finding the files for the earlier titles was always a no brainer.

The game is loading while the intro is "warming up". Unlike previous titles, which just played and movie and loaded after.

Saves are in your user/my documents folder.

Maybe YOURS saves are! All I see are my Oblivion saves. Very odd. I know the saves exist, I can see them in game!

I'm running XP, btw.

Are you using XP or Vista? Mine are in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

I just looked up the old "-nm" switch to turn off movie. Doesn't seem to work in ETW.


And that path to saves definitely doesn't exist on my system.
