Civilization V: Skip intro video
Every time Civilization V starts, the intro video appears. We'll show you how to skip it.
Skip intro video in Civilization V.
The intro also serves as a loading screen. The content is loaded while the small film is running. For this reason, the intro cannot be canceled directly. Pressing the "Esc" key will stop the intro after some time when the game has loaded. If you can’t see the movie at all, there is a second option:
- In Windows Explorer, open the path "C: \ Users \ XXX \ Documents \ My Games \ Sid Meier's Civilization 5". The entry "XXX" stands for your user name. If the path cannot be found, use the search and locate the last named folder.
- Open the "UserSettings.ini" file it contains using the editor. To do this, right-click on the file and select the "Editor" under "Open with".
- In the fifteenth line you will find the entry "SkipIntroVideo = 0". Remove the 0 and insert a 1 for it. The entry should now read "SkipIntroVideo = 1". If you save the document, the intro is no longer displayed at startup.
- After the next start, however, the value is reset to 0. You can simply repeat the procedure.
