What to do:

Maneater is a fun game to play, but the Splash screens at the start are irritating, especially when the game crashes to desktop as often as it does.
So, seeing as no-one else had noted how to skip those screens, I thought I would write quick instructions for anyone else who found them as annoying as I do.
Instead of having those 5 splash screens on screen for about 10 seconds each, instead it goes straight to the Enter game screen, far preferable in my opinion ;-)

Right click on your Maneater game and click "Browse Local Files"

In there, you want to go to:

../Maneater/Maneater/Content/Movies/

and in there, delete these files:

DeepSilver_1080.mp4
DeepSilver_1088.mp4
MIG_Logo_1080.mp4
MIG_Logo_1088.mp4
MW_Logos_1080.mp4
MW_Logos_1088.mp4
TWI_Logo_1080.mp4
TWI_Logo_1088.mp4
UE4_Logo_1080.mp4
UE4_Logo_1088.mp4

Now when starting up, you'll go straight to the Enter Game Screen to play the game ;-)

Reminder - if you remove these files when you Verify integrity of game files and it shows 10 files absent - it is just these files. If you continue the system will replace the movie files.

Thanks for the reminder how games do this. Seriously devs, is it so hard to make these splash screens/videos unskippable the FIRST time they're seen (1st time playing the game since installation; makes sense to me), but skippable the rest of the time (depending on how frequently you expect players to (re)load the game (short-term, long-term))?

LOL... I got the game, after waiting the 6 month or 1 year of "Epic Exclusivity"... because it sounded interesting... only to find its bland. But then to see they other you the same way Skryim does... with pointless stuff on the "Loading Screens".
Maybe... someone should tell them... that no one wants to see stuff on a loading screen... but everyone prefers the game to load... faster.
