How to Disable the Splash Screens in Dishonored


Annoyed by the unskippable startup movies of Dishonored you have to watch and wait through every time?

Me too. Here's easy step-by-step instructions on how to disable the splash screens on PC and Windows..

How to Disable the Startup Movies in Dishonored


1. Find the DishonoredEngine.ini file

Find the Dishonored folder in the Documents -folder

By default:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\

And in there, the Dishonored folder.

In the *\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config\ folder, you'll find the DishonoredEngine.ini

By default:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config\DishonoredEngine.ini

2. Backup DishonoredEngine.ini

Take a copy of DishonoredEngine.ini, and
rename it to DishonoredEngine.ini_org or similar as a backup.

3. Edit DishonoredEngine.ini

Find lines:

StartupMovies=Black_266ms
StartupMovies=ZenimaxLegal
StartupMovies=ZenimaxLegalFR
StartupMovies=LogoBethesda
StartupMovies=LogoArkane
StartupMovies=UE3_logo
StartupMovies=Legal
StartupMovies=Loading

Delete the lines or comment them out:

;StartupMovies=Black_266ms
;StartupMovies=ZenimaxLegal
;StartupMovies=ZenimaxLegalFR
;StartupMovies=LogoBethesda
;StartupMovies=LogoArkane
;StartupMovies=UE3_logo
;StartupMovies=Legal
;StartupMovies=Loading

(The game might delete the commented lines from the file on startup, thus - ALWAYS BACKUP)

4. Save DishonoredEngine.ini

5. Start the game and you'll be in the main menu in seconds without the unskippable splash screens.
