Do you like waiting 10 seconds for the EA logo movie to play when C&C3 starts? If not, then you should keep on reading. The CnC3 No Logo Mod will disable the logo at the startup of CnC3. This will save you 10 seconds everytime you start the game!
The No Logo Mod is very easy to use: download the mod installer and run it!

As is common for game modifications, use this mod at your own risk. It works on my PC, but perhaps it won't on yours.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I still play online with the No Logo Mod?
Yes, you can. This mod only changes the list of in-game videos (video.ini) - which is not relevant for online play.
Do the other in-game movies/cutscenes/FMV still work?
Yes, they do.
Technical details
This mod changes the file "Core\1.1\Config.txt" in your CnC3 game folder. A backup of this file is restored when this patch is uninstalled. Additionally, a new file called "Core\1.1\no_ea_logo.big" is created. The mod will not work when the CnC3 folder is not properly stored in the Windows registry or when the game has not yet been patched to v1.1 or higher. The functionality of this mod should be preserved if you update your game through the online update found in CnC3, which is an incremental update. A downloadable EXE update for the game will make this mod stop working. Reinstall this mod to activate it again.
For the Kane's Wrath version of the C&C3 No Logo Mod, the technical details are the same, except for the location of the files (they are in "Core\1.0" instead of "Core\1.1") and the name of the BIG file ("kw_no_ea_logo.big" instead of "no_ea_logo.big").
