How do I get rid of BF1942 intro movie?

[Trevelyan]

When I run BF1942 I get all the title screens and the intro movie... which I don't want! How do I make it so it just skips all that crap?

Thanks...

goto the battlefield dir > movies > then delete them all except the background one

Which one is the background one? I see intro, ea, legal, and dice

You can also alter the command line in the shortcut to:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +restart 1

This will bring you straight to the menu.

Thanks, that did the trick. I'd tried removing the movies before and would get a lockup at times.
Place the movies back and no problems.

If you launch with All Seeing Eye or Gamespy it will bypass the movies also.

The background one is the one that runs...in the background. When you're in the menu, it's the greenish background of in-game footage, etc.
