Skip intro movies

**Foxoq** · 11-04-2006, 09:54 PM

To skip the intro movies, go into: "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Movies", and move all of the files out of the folder. you will now load to the login screen when you start the game.

Sweet eh?

And can someone verify if this will upset punkbuster or not? I wasn't sure, but I've had no problems so far. Just don't delete them for now!

It doesn't mess with PB at all - this trick also worked with the demo and BF2.

I leave the files, but change the extension. It works just as dandy, and you dont have to worry about ever losing the files if something punkbuster related happens.

As well as there are File target extensions that allow you to automatically log in to your account, profile, and add the clan tag. So in essence, upon start up, you are already in the main menu logged in and ready to join a server.

I have that set up, but it takes frickin' ages to get to the menu screen...

I have it set up to log me in too and I like it. Less clicking and it seems to be faster than clicking all those buttons just to login.

I've tried to do the same, verified all the syntax, but it won't work. It'll just take me to the login page.

=Sarc= · 11-05-2006, 07:15 PM

"E:\Games\Battlefield 2142\BF2142Pace.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024 +eaAccountName Sarc +eaAccountPassword mypassword +soldierName Sarc
This is exactly how I have my shortcut setup for autologin.

Where is bf2142pace.exe?

All I have is bf2124.exe.

Other then that, my syntax is equal to yours, including case.

=Sarc= · 11-05-2006, 09:20 PM

I bought 2142 online so maybe it's a different executable. I'm not sure what else could be the problem. The eaAccountName is my login for EA Link and the soldierName is the profile name I use in game.

**Foxoq** · 11-05-2006, 09:53 PM

Thats it. Different executable for EAD copy compared to a physical copy. I don't know why, but they're different.

Telorn · 11-06-2006, 09:28 AM

Anyone with the retail version able to get the login shortcut to work?

Lorian · 11-06-2006, 12:24 PM

Works fine for me.

**Shiner** · 11-06-2006, 01:47 PM

Alternatively you can skip the movies by adding +restart to the shortcut as shown above.

It works fine with retail, but it is case sensitive both with your account name and your character name.
