Skip Intros?

[BridgetFisher]

Is there any launch commands that allow us to skip the intros? I tend to restart the game alot so looking for any tips. thanks!

It requires some effort from the user's side:
1. Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\State of Decay\Game" (by default)
2. Create folder "libs" if it doesn't exist, and enter.
3. Create folder "ui" if it doesn't exist, and enter.
4. Create two EMPTY files (obviously without the quotes) called:
a) "intromovies.usm"
b) "intromovies.noesrb.usm"

Done.

Thanks but how do I create "empty files" like a word doc and change the extension?

You could otherwise just create these files in notepad, add the custom extension in the file name and save as 'all types'.

Kuziz made a typo. The name is intromovies_noesrb.usm, not intromovies.noesrb.usm (switched a '.' for a '_'

So you have to create the 2 files in
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\State of Decay\Game"
or wherever you store your steam games:

libs\ui\intromovies.usm
libs\ui\intromovies_noesrb.usm

This will remove the annoying intro movie

Well, who knows who finds this useful in the future. I'm certainly kicking myself for only finding out after playing this game for so long.

For anyone else who might wonder this, the easiest way to create an empty file in Windows is just right click somewhere in the directory, pick new->text file, and then give the file the name and extension you want.
