Is there any way to skip the mass relay cutscenes?

These cutscenes are significantly louder than the rest of the game, so I have to turn down my speakers every time I go through a mass relay. Is there any way to skip these scenes?

According to this link it was possible in Mass Effect 1 by editing a configuration file. However, that file doesn't seem to exist for Mass Effect 3.


You can remove any video file from ME3 but after doing any changes to the game data you need to run the "Auto TOC Generator", which is included in "ME3 Explorer by Warranty Voider".

I removed the following from "Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Movies"

  • GLO_01_Relay.bik
  • Cithub_Load01.bik
  • ...
  • Cithub_Load08.bik

The reason simply removing the file does not work is that the game has an index file, that has to be updated after any changes to files are made.

PS. Heh, talk about necromancy...


I noticed this too, it was very frustrating when I was pulling an all-nighter to finish the game! I'm sure there are more detailed options on the PC, but on the Xbox 360 version if you go to audio settings and turn off "high dynamic range" (or something similar) these scenes become much quieter. I think this option is on by default. It's geared towards high-end audio systems but it's not much use on tinny built-in monitor speakers like mine. Hope this helps!
