Intro cinematic taking forever to skip.

[Zorlac]

WHen the intro movie starts it's talking almost a minute to skip after I press buttons. This happen to anyone else?

I think it has to do something with steam. Usually I've no problem, but once in awhile there it happens like you say.

After, not only will you never have to deal with the intro again but you'll be able to use other mods that players have made which can improve the game ten-fold.

To me, I try to press Enter + Space to skip the intro.

I use Space, Enter, Escape, Left Mouse Button, Cat walking on keyboard...

Hehe, well.. Same here, but not a cat on my keyboard! XD

Is there a way to do it without modding the game?
