How to disable startup developer game logos when loading the game?

I can disable the game intro movie in the options but how can I disable the logos from showing when the game starts. I dislike how loud they are and im sure my fast computer can load the game faster without them.


Solution 1:

You cannot remove the logo movie or the game will hang while loading. You can substitute the file with a very short movie file. Wiperight is basically a short graphic movie file. Here is a actual blank file I am using. http://www.geocities.ws/xbdvdrg/blank.zip

Navigate to you game folder

steamapps\Common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Platforms\Windows\Movies

Backup logos.bk2 as logos.BAK (note, the reddit contains a link to an actual blank movie file)

Copy WipeRight.bik as logos.bk2 (Note the extension change)

Bonus

The same reddit mentions "The same minihack can be used to speed up diplomacy.". "There are still some fade-out delays at times, such as when a leader gives you his introduction after the first meeting but it will save some delays."

I have performed this change too but not noticed any immediate time saving.

After performing the same backup and replace of the file LeaderScreen_WashIn_Mask.bik, the transition delay when talking to leaders is sped up.
