Just hit ESC? That will close the splash intro, but the intro also serves a purpose, it loads stuff behind it, so hitting escape might cause the game to load a bit in the start.It's quite possible you either:
A) Downloaded one for a previous version
B) Incorrectly installed the patch
Motkeyz Aesouh is there any chance we could bypass the seizure-inducing splash screens? I know they're supposed to set the tone of the game but I still think (while visually excellent) we shouldn't have to break our brains booting this up.
