I wonder, it's modifying files which is against the EULA. Second page someone describes what it does and why it's against the EULA, then the thread was closed. But you don't accept the EULA before these videos so wonder if it's covered ;o

Downloaded clients also don't have it - my D2D one doesn't

Yeh no intro movies for me without having to do anything.

I'd be interested though in anything that makes the clunker of a client load faster at the start.

Actually one thing Mythic still have to fix is to stop the client from locking the PC if there is a prompt from another application - this happens a lot when they update a patch and the firewall wants to know if its ok to let the updated version access the internet. This drives me bonkers. On Vista, the OS can sometimes (but not always) get around it. On XP its a lockup every time. The only way around it is to force a restart on the system and update the firewall info before launching WAR. Very bad client programming for a network application and a hangover from the DAoC days because its behaving in exactly the same way.

This file makes it so once you've pressed play you are straight at the EULA, so you don't get the loading EA screen.

I want a fix so that it doesn't take 5 minutes for the game to close after I go on exit.

No video here either.

They should make the flying movies optional though.

they're not actually movies, but I agree - the animated flying sequences should be optional as they're annoying after the 10th time!

It's still nice when you compare it to "that other game" where you fly all the way in real time. Meaning some flights take 10-15 minutes.
edit: Kinda reminds me of doing old epic quests riding on horse in old daoc.
