Assassin’s Creed Shadows Intro Videos: How to skip them
Disabling these intro videos is not a huge task. Since these are videos, to disable them, you just need to delete the video files from the game’s installation directory. How to access it? Simple. Open the game client like Steam, Epic Games, and head over to the game’s properties menu. Here, you should be able to find the Browse Local Files option. If you right-click the game in your Steam Library, and then select Manage, you will find this option. Once you select it, you will be taken to the game’s installation directory. Here, open the Videos folder.
Inside the Videos folder, delete the UbisoftLogo.webm file. Once done, head over to the language folder of your selected language, and then delete the following files:
- Epilepsy.webm
- warning_disclaimer.webm
- WarningSaving.webm
Once deleted, you can just launch the game and save at least 15-20 seconds of boot time. In some games, there is always an option for players to skip the intro scenes, which is missing in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This is why you will have to manually delete the intro videos to disable them. Do note that deleting these files doesn’t cause any progression loss. Also, if you want these videos back, you can just verify the integrity of game files via the game client, and the missing files will be downloaded again.
With that said, now you know all about how to disable intro videos in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. If you find this guide informative, consider visiting DigiStatement for more such interesting content on all things gaming.
