Hi all,

Is there a way to skip the intro screens where the logos and/or splash screens do not have to be viewed every single time I start-up the game?

Dream on CuriousGuy. This is just a way for UBI to get up in your face. "UBISOFT" gaming at it's finist...lol. Then they have to show you what a well oiled machine you are with Park & Walker as your team mates. When in reality you are tripping over the fools throghout the game.I am going to keep an eye on your post to see if anyone can deliver a sollution to you question. I wouuldn't mind eliminating this step also. Good luck.

I actually found a very effective way to skip all of the intro screens!!!

I don't play Vegas 2 any longer!!!

Very well put Lethal,you do have the perfect solution. I just wish I wasn't a Terrorist Hunt Addict. I just can't seem to get moving fast enough to play games such as COD WaW.

But while I have your Attention Lethal I would like to thank you for hanging around here even though you no longer play the game. I have gained vast wisdom(LOL) following your advice and comments in the forum. Why you do it is anyones guess. But please do continue!!!

Just scroll down and you'll see it

viduus1969, I don't know who the hell you think you are...but I have one thing to say to you:

Thank you very very much

(It definitely worked).

X2 very nice. I just d/led and unzipped with ALzip then you drag all the files into the startup folder in programfiles/ubi/tomclancyrainbowsixvegas2/kellergames/startup and copy/replace them or move them. Might want to backup your startup folder just in case.

I would definitely backup everything first!
Altering files can get you banned from PB servers!

I winrar'ed everything in that folder first, then left the rar'ed file in the same folder before copying the "no-intro" files into it. Reverting back to the original will be no problem.

You are all welcome. and if you need any other things such as INI tweaks for better frames just let me know and i'll find it

All you really have to do is google it. and you'll find it!

heres a little something i found look it over see if it might work for you.


IT IS GODDAMN BORING TO INSTALL 6.8GBs OF STUFF, SO MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILE "PCKellerEngine.cfg", PLEASE.

Sorry for the caps and sounding angry, but just to make sure anyone who tries it remembers to backup the files.

Also, I personally have not tried all of the changes, so even more reason to backup the config file.

Go to your main Vegas 2 folder. Then, go to KellerGame, then Config and finally, open the file "PCKellerEngine.cfg" with Notepad. Again, be sure to backup the original somewhere.

Find the lines below and edit them to what you want. I will suggest some values that may improve performance. Also, these values are the ones I use, so don't be surprised if yours are different.

bStaticDecalsEnabled=True
bDynamicDecalsEnabled=True

Change both to False. This should disable any decals (bullet marks, blood, etc), and thus, use less CPU power and video card power.

TimeBetweenPurgingPendingKillObjects=60

I am guessing this is the time before corpses dissapear or something? This might also make enemy weapons disappear faster, putting you at a slight dissavantage. Try setting it to 5 or something. This assuming this value is in seconds.

StartupResolutionX=640
StartupResolutionY=480

<3 custom resolutinos. You seem to imply you can't set a resolution lower than 800x600, so set it to lower (like 640x480). Yes, it looks goddamn ugly, but it also helps your framerate considerably.

MaxChannels=32

If you don't mind having a lower audio quality, set it to 16 or 8. Setting it lower might put you at a slight disavantage, just so you know.

MeshLODRange=2000

Set to 1000, perhaps? Maybe 500? Too little will reduce your max view distance, therefor putting in a somewhat bad position.

UserMaxTextureSize=4096

<3 512MBs of VRAM. Set it to 512, 1024, 2048, 3072 or 4096. If you have 512 MBs of VRAM like me, be happy and set it to 4096. If you have 256 MBs or less, set it to 1024 or 512.

bUsePostProcessEffects=False

I think this also appears in the in game setting, but oh well. Set it to False.

UseTrilinear=True

Yay, texture filtering. There is no noticeable difference between Bilinear and Trilinear, unless you deliberately search for it. Set to False.

LevelOfAnisotropy=16

Now this you might notice. This makes textures sharper at distance. Set to 1, unless you have 512 MBs of ram or more. At 8, you will be bothered by how you see clear textures then all of a sudden the texture turns blurrier. You won't have this problem with 16, so it's either 1 or 16.

UseStaticLighting=True

I am not sure if this will totally mess up shadows and lightning (lol no lightning), but you might want to try setting it to False.

ShadowBufferResolution=1024

Set to 64, 128 or 256.

MaxShadowResolution=880
MinShadowResolution=256

Ignore my wonky settings. Set both to 1 for a shadow composed of a single pixel, I think. Good luck finding that. Oh, and this option kind of makes the ShadowBufferResolution setting kind of useless, so yeah.

BlurBufferResolutionDivisor=3

This isn't for improving performance, but you might find it annoying that whenever you get hit the resolution divides itself by 3, like some other people. Stop the divisor by setting it to 1 (or 0, just for lulz and so that you can say "lolz i divided by 0". This comes at a disavantage: you won't really know if you are just scratched or LOLWTFBBQPWN'D.

DisableShaderModel3=True

Disables SM3.0, thus disabling some mostly useless eyecandy you probably won't notice.

DisableMultiLightPath=True~

Eh, dynamic lighting or something? In any case, set to True.

Again Guys!!!
Just remember that playing online on a server with Punkbuster Enabled will earn you a ban ... and it could be permanent!!!

No-Intro Fix this does not require you to run an .exe file. just contains the .bik files that are used to replace the original movie .bik
