Block advert after closing game

Hey is there a way to block the advert that pops up when you close the game.
It's kind off annoying..

theres a file in en -US, AdBalloonExt.exe, delete it

thanks.
I did that.
Does this also work for the media map where the things are stored for login Like the logos and nexon video.
If i delete that. Will it fasten up my game loading?

those are loading screen watermarks, deleting them not only may not allow you to play the game but it wouldnt do anything plus its because of them that you start the game.

@Morior, have you tried tampering with those files? Maybe making a custom video or just editing it?

I feel like I have something to cast my burden of boredom tonight lol.

On a side note, nice Sig. Clean and simple. I just noticed.

I suppose that I could. Taking a break from the new bot. My mouse thumb's starting to twitch :P

Well, that was easier than I had hoped

go into the media folder, typically located at
c:\nexon\vindictus\en-us\media
You'll see sfour text files
_usa_StartupVids.txt
_usa_StartupVids_Adult.txt
StartupVids.txt
StartupVids_Adult.txt

Just remove everything in them, and save.
That simple.

*Note* increases load time a little, but not significantly.

Lol thanks for the info about the ad.

emptying the .txt files didnt do much about the intro though.

Very well should. If not try renaming them. (worked fine on my machine, just didn't really speed up the process much.) Make sure that you don't have them or the vindictus/parent folders set to read only for some reason.

I just delete that advert exe and the media folder.

Yeah and don't mention that on nexon forum, otherwise the crazy NXbanhammers swing out *lawl* it's forbidden even to delete files ^__^ ...

Ehh, they can kiss our butts :P Regardless, they don't have the skills to code out an installation directory scanner (which by all means is legal) like Blizzard does.
They'll never find out :P

Hm, wait a bit, may they will implement a system to check those files as well as they check .hfs files

I personally don't really care but I'm deleting the advertising-crap since they implemented it years ago in CA ^__^

As long as they dont start checking the checksums of all files, you could also just hex edit them <:
