Cinematic plays every time I load my character

have playIntroMovie “13” but gets the bug still

24

tried this before - doesn’t do anything, sadly

25

happens on level 70+ characters only. my other alts are unaffected

26

Seems to be fixed for me, probably after weekly reset. Thank you!

27

not fixed for me. still happening here.

28

This problem has been occurring for weeks now. Please fix Blizzard :confused:

29

Same here, and I also cannot see any quest markers and need to reload my editted UI every time I log in cause it moved all my action bars. No addons no nothing

30

Same as well

Tried Repairing , clear cache , new WTF folder , waiting 30 secs after exiting the game to go back in.

All for nothing so far.

31

11.11.2024 and i’m still having this issue. cleared the whole cache and WTF.

32

Same problem, tried everything, fixed editing LeatrixPlus Account SavedVariables, open/edit Leatrix_Plus.lua, look up for this line: [“KeepAudioSynced”] = “Off”.
On will crash each time you login, Off fixed it for me.

33

? it’s already set to Off on my end. Tbh I’m kinda confused what it has to do with the issue at hand

34

i just used fuba’s Cinematic Skipper addon , logged in once , viewed the cinematic , logged out and then in , poof its done.

thankfully i only got 1 title spam that keeps happening , Khansguard , but i aint gonna use it so im safe , i dread people who got a bigger spam list though.

dont work at all with that addon still get the cinematic

36

you will get the cinematic the first time you log in with the addon , after that , relog with the same character and you wont get it. thats what happened with me at least.

it also works with my alts and tested it right now , went from paladin to rogue and it didnt play for rogue’s 1st time which is good.

37

tested and still get the cinematic so.

38

sorry to hear that mate

39

yep, that addon did nothing for me either. still getting the cinematic. and I even tried doing what you said, logging in with it a 2nd time and seeing if it would skip it then but nope. still got the cinematic.

Here’s tiny addon that I’ve used for myself:

local function OnEvent(frame, event, arg1)
  if event == "PLAY_MOVIE" then
    local movieID = arg1;
    if movieID == 1024 then
      local userCanceled = true;
      CinematicFinished(Enum.CinematicType.GameMovie, userCanceled);
      MovieFrame:Hide();
      DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Sargeras cinematic cancelled", 1, 1, 0);
    end
  end
end

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame");
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent);
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAY_MOVIE");

You can make it into zip with https://addon.bool.no/ website. It worked for me.

Thank you! I tried it, and it’s the only thing that’s worked for me so far!
It works with or without the add-ons for me! Naturally, I named my add-on ‘Remove Cinematic Sh**t.’
Again, thank you—YOU are the boss! (You hear that, Blizzard?)
