How to turn off the EA Games screen?

[Rosareven]

I did this before on my old computer... Now that I installed UO on my new computer I totally forgot how I did it and where I found someone mentioning about it.

Before the login screen, the game starts with an annoying "EA Games - challenge everything!" welcome screen. There's a way to disable that intro by doing something to one of the program files in UO folder.... but I really can't recall what it was that I have to do.

Anyone got any ideas?

There are 3 files in the UO folder named something .bik.  Change those to read .bik.bak.  It is what I did and no EA screen.

Theres also an option in gateway called "skip client intros" that worked for me.

I can finally get out of the EA brainwashing nightmare.
