very minor issue

[IceWendigo]

In Win 2000 (1.8GHz,GF4 Ti4200,256ram), I used Alt-Tab to get to the desktop while the BZ2 initial load presentation was running (activision's logo breaking in), and got this message:

Entering critical shutdown

It's minor for me because I can just exit BZ2 normally and restart it again instead of temporarily Alt-Tab-ing out.

why do u have the movie on startup?

[IceWendigo]

good comment, including the command line to skip it would have been even better.

[AlbinoPenguin]

Still, it is a bug, and people how might just happen to use bz2 for the first time, in 1.3, and tab out, could get very frustrated for them. Would be nice if it could be addressed, since we can't start thinking only old players who don't have the movie on will be playing bz2 1.3 now can we?

Ice, the commandline option is  /nointro

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

accutly i dont think many ppl will tab from the starting movie... you cancel it - then tab...

and i know alot more games that will crush if u tab a bit before the starting into - just when its about to load...

and who uses that line? pfffffft

use the no cd patch?

[BZZERKER]

1.3 does not require the cd crack. The cd also has nothing to do with the movie playing. /nointro command in your shortcut path will stop the movie from playing.

Hey Ice, we had a gg until you left, then it died miserably when the server switched.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

since i used the cd-patch the intro was removed...
i never wrote that line and i never have the opening movie...

im almost sure its the no-cd patch
