How to Skip the Killing Floor 2 Intro Videos (-nostartupmovies)
This is a translation of a short Spanish and Portuguese guide that explains how to remove the intro videos so the game starts faster. The trick is a single Steam launch option. For other launch and config tweaks see KF2 FPS unlock and nostartupmovies guide and KF2 replace menu intro videos.
Steps
- Open your Steam library, find Killing Floor 2, right-click it and choose Properties.
Right-click the game and open Properties.
- On the General tab click the button to set launch options.
The Set Launch Options button on the General tab.
- In the window that appears type
-nostartupmovies(without quotes).
Enter the command and confirm.
That is all: the next time you start the game the intro movies are skipped.
Notes
- If the game has other launch options set, add the command separated by a space.
- The same steps apply in the Portuguese version of the Steam client, where the button is called "Definir opcoes de arranque".
