blitzen Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'm unable to play mods that have intro videos. I have to skip the intro video for "Beyond Reach" (it has an option to do that). I just tried to play "Umbra Island", and crash when attempting to use the boat to travel there, which allegedly starts a video. I didn't have this problem with Oldrim, but I'm on a different computer. I have no idea what could cause this. Does anybody know what affects in-game videos? Are there .ini settings? Does it rely on some external software such as flash (which I don't have)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGunk Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 This is just an off-chance: are your game files on C:Program Files? It could be Windows permissions are preventing the game from calling its video application, and thereby busting the game.The advice is to install away from the program folders to avoid permission problems. I might be 100% wrong, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomomi1922 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Wait, there are mods that can play videos? The only video I ever see is the intro video, the Bethesda logo. Anything else from there on out are scripted scenes: real models of actor characters doing scripted things. It's easy to tell, whatever modded outfit/weapon/spells will be used in the scenes. No pre-generated video can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pre-generated video can do that. "Beyond Reach" has a video which, fortunately for me, has an option to skip in the game. For other mods with videos, I've had to use the console to advance the quest to the next stage after the video. You can stiil watch these Videos outside the game with a Bink player. They are found in the Videos folder in the game Data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
