    I like this method more than the other mod method where the video files are turned into garbage data.

    Also to completely disable storybook in 4.04 and get a traditional loading bar:

    Either change dx12user.settings  for DX12 version, or user.settings (or both) if using dx11 and add:
    [LoadingScreen/Debug]
    DisableVideos=true

    You can technically add it to engine.ini, but that file will get replaced after an update or when verifying files, removing any changes.

    The reason it doesn't work for most people is because if you're using the DX12 version, user.settings is ignored (because that one is for the dx11 .exe). You need to edit dx12user.settings for the DX12 version.

      I would not recommend changing this setting. It also disable cutscenes.

      @ElementaryLewis i think i'm encountering this issue on my playthrough. had used the same DisableVideos=true and now afther the capping cutscene where vlod should have written the letter to olgierd, quest still points to the capping marker instead of continuing. any idea on how to fix this? have loaded some saves but still during the wedding party. should i load one that is before starting the wedding area?

      edit: just to clarify, already removed the DisableVideos=truefrom the user.settings

      It seems that is changed in NextGen, didn't work for me . But NOW is working if I edit the engine.ini:
      \The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY\bin\config\base\engine.ini
      Looks like this after i added those lines:
      [BaseEngine]
      SectorDataPreallocatedBufferSizeInMB=38
      [LoadingScreen/Debug]
      DisableVideos=true

    Seems doesn't work on 4.00v for story recaps .

      I think those can't be skipped, because they are part of the loading screen and not scripted.
      Perhaps I should rename it in the description, the startup movie is called recap in the scripts.

      VulcanTourist posted the hint from PCGamingWiki on how to remove the loading videos down below.

    Works only to skip intro videos, not story recaps, which is what I wanted.

    Endorsed and thanks for making this mod.

      The two are not related, but you can do that separately:

      https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Witcher_3:_Wild_Hunt#Skip_loading_screen_narration_videos
      Edit user.settings config file, add this setting:
      [LoadingScreen/Debug]
      DisableVideos=true

      It will auto-skip loading screen videos (which you can also skip by pressing space on a keyboard and square/X on PS4/Xbox controllers respectively).

      Where is user.settings?
      Nevermind it's in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\The Witcher 3\

    Works as expected with 1.32 on Steam. Game loads straight into the main menu. Thanks for the mod!

    For those who want to skip Storybook, try this.

    Only skips the intro movie, not the story recaps
