To the guys claiming this doesn't work, DELETING the two files in step 2) has always worked according to forum posts since 2017.

Furthermore, one can also mess with the unskippable prologue video that is show when starting a new game, but cannot delete it in the same way without breaking the game. Instead, copy either one of the two logo_*.bik files over e.g. prologue.english.bik and that will be a quick workaround. Truncating it to size zero possibly works, too (but I've not tested that).

Infinite loading screen after doing this.

i don't have those files in that folder. Got epilog.bik, prologue.english.bik (+ german and polish too) and wait_loop.bik including .srt subtitles files for several languages. But also can not play through first part of game. When make few steps screen freezes and can hear sound of movement, so game is running, but my GPU usage drops to 0. So i have no video output from game

great, thx! the videos are short but unskippable and the game nearly wants to crash when I press a button during it, which I always try to do automatically, so best to remove them

That worked. Thanks!
