.bat script to disable the Bethesda splash screen (the one with the 'Play' button)
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This is just a simple script to rename Fallout4.exe and Fallout4Launcher.exe so that Steam will launch directly into the game. Bethesda's launch screen isn't necessary 99% of the time, and it's especially annoying when trying to launch with a controller as it requires a mouse.
This is also a workaround for the 1.2 patch disabling mods.
Installation/Use:
Alternately, you could simply rename Fallout4Launcher.exe to anything you like, and rename Fallout4.exe to Fallout4Launcher.exe. However, the script is handy because it will check the current state, allows toggling back and forth, and checks if the game is running before changing anything.
NOTE: You will need to rerun this after updates.
History:
v1.2
This is also a workaround for the 1.2 patch disabling mods.
Installation/Use:
- Drop ToggleSplashScreen.bat into the root of game (next to Fallout4.exe)
- Run it simply by double-clicking
- If launching from NMM, go to Settings -> Fallout 4 -> Custom Launch Command and change the 'Command' part to Fallout4Launcher.exe and it will launch directly from there.

- Renamed from ToggleSplashScreen to ToggleLauncher, because I was told that it wasn't obvious what 'splash screen' meant.
