How to Delete The Dialog Folder, & Why We Allow That

How does removing dialog folder save time?
Removing the Dialog folder, allows you to instantly dismiss text boxes, where you would normally have to wait for the voice line to finish playing. This saves a tone of time in the Sunnyside daycare level, as well as the Toy box category. It also makes the cow launcher spawn sooner in haunted bakery, since you don't have to wait for Andy's dialog to play.

How do you remove the dialog folder?
1. Go to the Toy Story 3 game files. You can click the gear icon or right click the game in steam, hover over *Manage*, and click *Browse local files*

2. Go to the *data_dxw* folder, and then the *sound* folder

3. Delete the folder that says *DIALOG* followed by a few letters for what language you play in.

Why are we allowed to modify the games files? That seems sketchy.
*Toy Story 3: The Video Game* was added to steam October 6th 2014. There was a minor mistake made with that 2014 steam release. The dialog files were missing for most languages other than English. So for a long time, runners would switch the language of the game, to remove the dialog files "officially".

Then on October 27th 2021, a patch came out for Toy Story 3 on steam, that reintroduced the missing dialog files. The community decided that it would be best, to allow runners to manually delete the dialog folder, in order to be consistent with the older runs on the leaderboard, and without going through the hassle of down patching.

Also, in December of 2021, the game got a 2nd patch that improved fullscreen, resolution and controller support (the game was notorious for not supporting 1080p, and having extremely finicky fullscreen) and it would be really annoying to not have those quality of life improvements, if we forced ourselves to downpatch to a previous version.
