Every single time I log in that video plays. I don’t even want it to autoplay. I know I can hit ESC but that isn’t the point.
How do I get it to NEVER play again when I login?

It should auto skip it as soon as you logged in once to your account. It usually plays after a fresh install and no other time.
How are you getting into the game? Is it through the BNet client or opening the .exe on it’s own and then signing in after?

Sounds like Wow is not running in Admin mode. There for it cant write properly to the files it needs to for the video to be flagged as “already watched”

Also make sure your first log out is by /quit or /camp. If it’s forced, by altf4 or using the x to close the app, it might not save the config file.

I am having the same issue. I always log out by going through the menu.
I’m seeing some instances of windows update setting some folders as read only, but it’s causing other issues, not just this.
You should be able to manually edit config.wtf in the install folders, if it’s still happening I’d put in a bug report.

Mine shows 13 and does not play.
Make sure you’re modifying the correct config.wtf file.
I’ve also seen situations where people have had multiple copies of the game installed, which was causing issues.
You can also ensure your account has read write access to the entirety of the WoW folder.
Here is what it says:
SET playIntroMovie “13”
Still plays
It’s in retail/WTF/
