Skipping long intro videos

[Mrs Boost]

If you're anybody like me i'm constantly switching between games that i play, so when i play Civ 6, i struggle to want to play it when i have to wait 30 seconds or so to actually load the game xD but with most games you can set the launch options on a game in steam to show no intro videos by the command -novid or -novideo, this doesn't work for civ 6, so instead if you want to cut the intro videos, go in the your library where civ 6 is, right click and go in to properties, then click the tab local files and click browse local files, then go in to Base, then Platforms, Windows, Movies. Then you will see a bunch of files, the one you're looking for is logos.bk2, all you need to do is rename this to logos.bk23 and intro videos will stop being shown, i also set this file to read only just incase any updates occur and affect this files name?

hope this helps anyone

Renaming the files as suggested in here broke Civ6 (Version 1.3.7) on my Ubuntu machine. So I've gone another route explained in this Reddit-Thread. They suggested downloading a empty blk video file from this Geocities-Page[www.geocities.ws] and use that to replace the original files.

I did that under Ubuntu-Linux and it works. Doing that manually this should also work under Windows or MacOSX too.

I've arranged this single bash command that I've used under Ubuntu-Linux.

cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sid\ Meier\'s\ Civilization\ VI/steamassets/base/platforms/windows/movies && mv bink2_aspyr_logo_black_white_1080p_30fps.bk2 bink2_aspyr_logo_black_white_1080p_30fps.bk2.orig && mv logo_2kfiraxis.bk2 logo_2kfiraxis.bk2.orig && mv logos.bk2 logos.bk2.orig && mv civ6_cinematic.bk2 civ6_cinematic.bk2.orig && echo "QklLaQwBAAABAAAA4AAAAAEAAACAAgAA4AEAAA8AAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA1AAAAFAEAAGgAAABXwX9l/BARAAAAAAAAABEAAIAgbdu2bdu2AYK0bdu2bdsGCGIAAAAAAAAAAECQtm3btm3bAEHatm3btm0DBBEEadu2bdu2DRCkbdu2bds2AIW2/f8AFAQo2rZt+/8BAAAAAAAAV8F+ZewAAAAAEQgAAAARAACAIP///////////////wFL/P///////x9YIgIAAAAAAAAAoOD/CwAAAAAAV8F+ZewAAAAAEQgAAAARAACAIP///////////////wFL/P///////x9YIgIAAAAAAAAAoOD/CwAAAAAA" | base64 -d > blank.blk && cp blank.blk bink2_aspyr_logo_black_white_1080p_30fps.bk2 && cp blank.blk logo_2kfiraxis.bk2 && cp blank.blk logos.bk2 && cp blank.blk civ6_cinematic.bk2

This will rename the logo-movies and the intro-movie to *.orig, create the blank.blk from the base64-encoded string and copy it to the expected files.

Here the same commands as separated commands:

cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sid\ Meier\'s\ Civilization\ VI/steamassets/base/platforms/windows/movies

mv bink2_aspyr_logo_black_white_1080p_30fps.bk2 bink2_aspyr_logo_black_white_1080p_30fps.bk2.orig
mv logo_2kfiraxis.bk2 logo_2kfiraxis.bk2.orig
mv logos.bk2 logos.bk2.orig
mv civ6_cinematic.bk2 civ6_cinematic.bk2.orig

echo "QklLaQwBAAABAAAA4AAAAAEAAACAAgAA4AEAAA8AAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA1AAAAFAEAAGgAAABX

cp blank.blk bink2_aspyr_logo_black_white_1080p_30fps.bk2
cp blank.blk logo_2kfiraxis.bk2
cp blank.blk logos.bk2
cp blank.blk civ6_cinematic.bk2

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, try clicking to skip the movie

[Baby Nurse - high AF]

just click your mouse? i dont get it

I mainly wanted to skip the logo movies. I can't skip them with mouse clicks.

Yes, I can click away the intro movie. And since I've seen it many times I've decided to skip it automatically too.
