How do I turn off splash screens?

ramblin_onb16_ESO · July 2019

Simple enough,yes?
No,it's not that simple.I've come to my wits end trying to change the User Setting.txt C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live
This is what I have saved at this time.
SET SkipPregameVideos "1"
SET HasPlayedPregameVideo "1"

I changed them to "0" "1" "1" "0" and even " " blank
Repaired the game a few times.Retried variables again.No success :-/
Am I missing something?
Thank you for the help !!~

Do you have a Shadow Folder for My Documents? ( you can now designate more than one folder as My Documents) and the game could have the Settings files in a couple of places.

You don't need to mess with HasPlayed, leave that alone

SET SkipPregameVideos "1"

Is all you need.

For the record, mine looks like:

SET SkipPregameVideos "1"
SET HasPlayedPregameVideo "1"

I struck through the last, as again, you don't need it.

Also, just in case, if you have the PTS, you need to do this in there too.

HOWEVER

I strongly recommend you leave the Splash Screens on the PTS so you know your logging into that. You will frequently delete your copied characters, and it would suck to delete a Live Character

Thank you for your help Nestor.Took a while but after your thoughts I kept searching.Came across a post from Jan. 2018 of which you were part of.Turns out I have 4 folders where live is found.The one that was active was in C:\ProgramData\Elder Scrolls Online\live
