Ok, whenever I go to the Loading Area, either from just starting or dying or anything, it sends me to the list of Cinematics, like I have one to watch or something.  But I don't.

I've watched them all twice to see if it would stop, but it didn't.  Is there any useropts or something that will bypass this?

Try this and see if it does anything...

Cin_Never_Play = 1

I'm not sure if it still works, though... it did with the old cinematics, but these new Internet Explorer shells might work off a different system.

yeah iv been getting that broblem for quite a whil, the real question we should be asking is what is causing it. It just happned all of a sudden a few weeks back. Maybe it could be a server side glitch.

the fact that a useropts command stops it suggests that it's client side

actually this reminds me, is there a useropts command to turn off the fog?

When I try and play a cinematic scene in the movie player it just loads a black screen and it will stay that way for a long time. I have Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media Player 11.

Any help?

Are these cinematics in the game? The first one was with the oracle eating the cookie.

So will the other show up to "in game" instead of streamed off the web based on what i do in the game?

you can't for about a month I believe.

it was because of the amount of players making new threads that attacked other players.

sure SMILEY

it takes about 10-15 minutes since the films are downloaded from the internet, I think though that MxOresource have the cinematics available for download

are the cinematics in the game as well, like part of BINK video or whatever, so I can watch them when they are supposed to be watched?

yeh when you click "play cinematic" in the loading area, it will bring up the ingame browser and it will download the video and play it when it's complete.
