Big Box Start up timer

[knux666]

Hello all,

I am trying to speed the startup video when big box starts, I am currently using the Gamecube intro of bigbox which can be downloaded from the download section. The video however lasts for a minute.

I have a high end pc so big box only takes a few seconds to load however, it floats on the video until I hit a key, it doesn't just boot straight into the program once its loaded as people suggest that it does.

Going off the following youtube video: 

 

at 2 minutes 12 the video has a minimum startup video duration. However, I don't seem to have that option. I have attached a screenshot of the available options when i go to the general tab and I have also attached the bigbox settings which i currently have. Going off another post, a user suggested to type in <MinimumStartupVideoPlaybackTimeMilliseconds>6500</MinimumStartupVideoPlaybackTimeMilliseconds> at the bottom line however, that didnt resolve the issue.

Help me obi wan kenobi, your my only hope

Many thanks for your time!

If i'm not mistaken the timer got removed recently with the way startup videos changed. It now plays the entire video or you can press a button to skip it.

I could be wrong though since I never bothered with startup videos.

It still hasn't worked correctly for me, but I was also under the impression that if it was, it would load BB as soon as the video finished , if BB was already done loading, which sounds like it is in this case.

I just ran into this issue after going through a hard drive replacement the last couple of days.  Performance is now great in BB and LB, but it was taking a full minute to load BB and I couldn't figure out why.  I went to Alt-Tab during the startup video to check Task Manager and BB started up!  After more messing around I realized exactly what was said in this thread is what is going on.   The startup video I was using is 1 minute long and BB would start after it finished playing *or* when I hit a key during the video.  I didn't realize the timer was removed.  Goodbye startup video, now BB launches in just a few seconds.

Thanks for this post!
