  2. You will see multiple folders with Language names (i.e - English(US), Korean(KR) etc..) - Except for English(US) (or your preferred Language) remove the other folders. Don't remove any WEM files.

Skip intro videos

Manually remove/rename the intro videos
  1. Navigate to <path-to-game>\EFGame\Movies.

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1599340/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1599340) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
