Description

@xezon
Int parseQuickStart( char *args[], int num )
{
#if (defined(_DEBUG) || defined(_INTERNAL))
  parseNoLogo( args, num );
#else
	//Kris: Patch 1.01 -- Allow release builds to skip the sizzle video, but still force the EA logo to show up.
	//This is for legal reasons.
	parseNoSizzle( args, num );
#endif
	parseNoShellMap( args, num );
	parseNoWindowAnimation( args, num ); // <--- why ???
	return 1;
}

This disabled window animation is obvious on the diplomacy screen for example.
