Issue on PlayStation where you can’t skip opening cinematic?

Anyone else have this issue happen to them?

Start up the game but the “sign in to PlayStation” popup doesn’t happen. And you can’t skip the cinematic to get to the main menu.

I can hit x a bunch of times but nothing.

I quit the game and reopen it and then “sign in to PlayStation” appears so I can do that and skip the cinematic to get to the main menu.

Also, I am always signed into PlayStation so I don’t know why that popup happens. It’s been doing that for quite a while. Annoying

Yeah, it doesn’t happen all the time, but more often than not. I’ve found it might have to do with the “sign in” issue as well. If the sign in to network pops up, usually I can get through the opening cinematic, however if it doesn’t, I can’t. Also, you’ll notice the three dots loading on the bottom left corner. If they continue to flash, you’re likely stuck. Then it goes to a black screen at the end of the cinematic and you gotta restart the game all over again.

This :point_up_2:.
I use to have it a lot when i was playing as alt character. On main psn character, it happens really rare now like @jmk1999 said, but yes, it’s annoying :laughing:.

I’m getting it more often now. Like it kept happening over and over last night when I first turned it on.

I tried that. When I do it slowly, I can x out right after the bleed out on the skull.

Are you saying they turned the opening into a QTE??? Oh ffs. :expressionless:

Workaround even in the starting menu :rofl::rofl::rofl:!

… more like fixing the rubberbanding issue. It kind of pauses on the login screen, so it takes few moments.

QTE? I didn’t see support for quicktime. (/me dusts off the necro residue).

Just trying to resolve, but some are on some other page. I don’t kick.

That’s because they’re using WMV. :face_with_monocle:

Ah! WMV accepts a few file compression types, and it does compress movies. It sounds like an X509 entry that needs a public key.

And now you’ve lost me. Sorry, my knowledge of coding is preschool at best.:sweat_smile: I loved putting skins on WMP though. :rofl:

I read the RFC, and that is where we need full spectrum thinking. I’m not nudging you on this. (RFC is “request for comments” in a standard context)

X509 is a well-known security data structure. It’s debate-able, but “we” programmers could roll our own for one reason or another. It’s slowly being adopted atm.

That’s when a certain group of players says, “RT*M”. They rather be programming than explaining. It’s about efficiency now.

P.S. IETF instantiates those RFCs by consensus. :innocent:

i have started hitting this same issue after update and if you hit the Alt button, the little one next to the center pad it will pop up the sign in to funcom and it goes to the selection menu.

hope it helps

Same situation here.
This one just starts the game, turns down the volume because the opening cinematic is excessively loud, sets a kettle, pours a cup of tea, then drinks a cidre or two instead while waiting for the tea to cool, laments that the tea has gotten too cold, considers microwaving it, hisses angrily at the microwave and decides it’s iced tea now and adds lemon and honey.
By this point it’s usually ready to go.
