How to Disable the Conan Exiles Intro Cinematic

The opening cinematic intro in Conan Exiles has undoubtedly been seen many times. But, if you’re launching the game after a crash or simply played hundreds of hours, you’re probably wondering if disabling the Conan Exiles intro is possible. The good news – it is! Much like you can turn on/off nudity in Conan, you can also turn off the intro scene.

While you can skip the Conan Exiles intro video, you have to wait until a large portion of the video has played before being able to skip it, which just makes it easier to disable it altogether instead.

But it’s not as simple as clicking a button in your Conan Exiles settings to turn this off. You’ll need to go into your game’s install folder to disable it. Stay with us, here’s how to skip that annoying opening cinematic intro you’ve seen enough of! Of course, it’s worth noting that this method only works for those playing Conan Exiles on PC, if you’re playing the game on another platform, you might just have to put up with the intro.

How to Disable the Conan Exiles Opening Intro

You’ll need to navigate to the location where your Conan Exiles game is installed. If you’re not sure where it’s located, simply open Steam, go to your Library, and then locate Conan Exiles. From here, Right-click, select Manage, then click Browse local files. This will open up a folder where your Conan Exiles game is installed and will look something like this: E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles

Once you’ve located the game’s install folder, here’s how you go about disabling the Conan Exiles intro:

• Navigate to E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles
• Located the folder called ConanSandbox
• Select and open the Config folder
• Search for DefaultGame.ini and open the file
• Search for bWaitForMoviesToComplete=True
• Replace the “true” with “false” to disable any intro cinematics in Conan Exiles
• Save the DefaultGame.ini file

If you don’t feel confident about performing the above steps, there are also other ways of disabling the opening scene.

In the folder Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Content\Movies, you can remove the following files:

• StartupUE4.mp4
• StartupNvidia.mp4 
• CinematicIntroV2.mp4

If you have to verify your game files at any point or reinstall Conan Exiles, you might find that the intro comes back, in which case you will need to either go back to skipping the Conan Exiles intro or follow these steps again to remove it completely. In some cases, you might also find that a major update might bring the intro back, too.
