Hey,

I'm wondering something. Is it maybe possible to remove / shorten the shitty forest cutscene? I really get annoyed by it. 

LOL, commenting here just to wait the answer, interested in that too. 

Good to see I'm not the only one annoyed by this

+1 for this. It was good at first but now it's a hassle to sit through.

I'm pretty sure it is meant to let the map load/unload

i once took 3 weeks of convincing that the first part of Leviathan should not be 30 seconds long but rather a countdown (even from 3 would work for me) but its 10 seconds so i feel for you mate i hate waiting for a cutscene then somebody does not connect or even lags out. oh but wait there is more cutscenes back to main menu haha its so annoying i cannot even see myself starting another online game no matter who i play with im just never that patient with anything including writing this long explanation instead of +1

It is possible. Google it. I deleted the opening cutscene and in process deleted forest scene. It was replaced with just black. Pretty sure menu loaded faster. Needing to load the menu. What a load of crap.

yeah thats is possible i had a .bik file that i made 1 frame long with the same name however it should not have to COME to that for people that just want to play lol

You can delete it in the files, but it doesn't make it any better. You just sit in black for like 30 seconds.

Call me boring, I'd rather sit in black.

it might be deleted. please google it.
