Copied game from Desktop to Laptop, can't get to Character Select screen after login.

There are many other registry files that you do not see, that would not get "Copied" over. You might get lucky and some games might recreate these registries, but many will not and are created upon installation. I suggest you delete all the files you copied over and reinstall the game using the game disc or the installer that SE provided.

I then went into the config file and changed the cutscene flag to 1 as I said above. Everything now works.

These days I find that simply copying an MMO folder between computers usually works without having to reinstall the game. I did it with GW2 as well. Maybe sometimes the launcher corrects the game installation after detecting problems from simple copying.

I wasn't referring to a in-game cutscene but a prerendered one, like the opening, that will appear in the middle of the game and probably will give you the same issue if you didn't reach it yet.

You.. cannot successfully copy a full game, with registry paths included, over to another system. If the game file is large and has numerous patches, the registry files get moved and edited constantly and make it a nightmare for games to correct. Just reinstall the damn thing and save yourself time.
