Removing intro screens
 

GUIDE: How To Remove *ALL* Intro Logo's, Movies, and Slow Load Times - Warhammer Forums

In case you're paranoid about running that executable, I believe he does 2 things:

1) Remove video.myp
2) Change all instances of "BIKi" (0x42494B69) in data.myp to "<null><null><null>i" (0x00000069)

I made the change manually, and it works - I have no intro logos or movies now, which makes my game start faster at least.

People have been saying the executable works too, and he's reputable, so try it out if you'd like.

If using vista, make sure you run the exe as admin.

just tried it and works 100% and it is quite amazing.

ugh that's ****ing sick.

thank you heavens for this.

edit: this should be sticky

Why in the world would he post this on their forums? Isn't that asking to be patched out?

Either way, I will definitely be using it.

Amazing.

out-****ing-standing

very cool

rad, i already removed the video, but this will make my victory complete!

is running warpatch.exe the only way to start up the game?

would be nice to just start it up without having to check for patches everytime.

......it is an online game. It HAS to check that you have the most recent version every time.

All of Mythic's authorization is done through the patcher as well. Stuck the thread btw.

ok just wondering thx.

I just tried this btw, and it works, no problems at all. Quite awesome actually.

I just did this too, big improvement. Thanks.

What application y'all use to open the data.myp?

I tried notepad and wordpad and it's all gibberish in both.

I just used the executable and it worked fine.

I just ran the program, I got some errors to start and had to keep restarting the patcher but they worked themselves out after several attempts and it went straight into the game once done.

Still... Do I need a hex editor or something?

Yes you need a hex editor. Use the executable, it'll be a lot easier
