Disabling the videos

Thankfully very quick and easy:

Open your file browser (i.e. explorer on windows).
In there navigate to the video folder of the game, i.e.:
C:\Steam\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Alien Isolation\DATA\UI\MOVIES\
Rename the following three files (i prefer to just add an underscore "_" at the beginning):
- AMD_IDENT.USM
- CA_IDENT.USM
- FOX_IDENT.USM
Start the game without the videos.

Linux

Linux users need to rename the files (in the GUI or via terminal with the "mv [OLDNAME] [NEWNAME]" command)

ca_feral_ident.webm
fox_ident.webm

Yesss thank you for this! I almost don't mind the Fox and Creative Assembly screens, at least they tried to fit the theme of the game. The AMD one is just stupid obnoxious though.

MacOS files:
attract.webm
ca_feral_ident.webm
fox_ident.webm

It’s a joy to be able to return the game much faster, all of a sudden.
I should have searched for this thread years ago. Much obliged, cheers!

The command to move files under Linux (or, indeed any Unix-like) is 'mv'. 'rm' stands for 'remove', as in permanently delete. Don't use 'rm' for anything unless you know what you're doing.

For us Linux users rename

ca_feral_ident.webm
fox_ident.webm

HTH!
