    I know there are multiple alternative to this mod. Don't hesitate to use them instead if you prefer.

    You know you can skip the intro by pressing ESC, right?

      Sure but why have to. This way it goes right to the loading screen. A small QOL thing but nice to have.

      Wapone, there are 2 kinds of people:

      1. they start the game, skipping intro, waiting loading, skipping "press any key screen", waiting menu arrival.
      2. they installing this mod and no press any key button mod once, start the game in background, doing their stuff for 20-30 sec (surfing, watching videos etc), until they hear main menu music, they go back to the game, main menu here waiting for them with no additional clicks or wasting time on things they've seen million times before.

      there is a third option, -continuegame, but it doesn't allow you to pick specific save and doesn't work with GOG.

      As a mod developer, I probably restarted the game like 3000 times.
      Not having to press keys surely saved some minutes and sanity.

    With only this mod and nothing else installed (clean install) I get this error message on startup before game closes to dashboard:

    This only showed up after patch 5, and I manually removed everything who could be leftover from earlier installations before doing a clean install of the game, so unfortunatly this mod seems to be the culprit :((

      if there would be an issue on this mod's side, I'd have tens of reports at this point.

      either this mod installation wasn't correct or you have some leftovers messing with the game after all. I can't say for sure, since I can't check your environment.

      Yeah, issue was apparently with some of the coding. Got fixed with a new mod manager. (just leaving it here in case someone else also experienced this)

      Thank you tho!

      Went from manual modding (suddenly the line structure I used stopped working on all mods after an update) to using this mod manager for mac

    New to the game and tried this out using vortex and it caused it to disable cutscenes being able to initiate. Like I would approach NPCs where it should have started a cutscene and they would just all stand around doing nothing. Process of elimination and determined this mod was the culprite.

      people asked multiple times to reupload mod with the old name, I did it. if you don't like how it goes, don't update the mod.

      This sounds like a you problem... there is no reason to even use BG3 mod manager anymore

    Weird place to get your attention Caites, but I am not in the Larian discord right now to quickly find you to talk to. But if you don't mind and are interested, feel free to give me some suggestions in Plus UI if you have any.

      You have until I quit modding (currently an unknown date) to provide feedback and is not enforced!

      Whenever is fine, good luck with your patching and I hope it is lightweight work this time around. I appreciate the warning.

    Hi Pavelk, I have a problem since patch 4. Now, when I start the game, I have a beginning of a video running, black screen and sound, during a few ms.
    I was on the loose files version. I've installed the paked version but it's the same.
    Do you have any idea of what could be going on?

      you forgot to delete loose file? pak version doesn't have that issue, that's why I removed loose one.

    "No mods imported, does the file contain a pak?" when trying to install in bg3mm. Checked mod folder and it went in there but doesn't show up in overrides or work.

      have you downloaded pak version, not loose one? also, it should be in active files actually, fixed description (all my other mods are Overrides tho).

      recent patch (HF #6) was released 11 days ago and it changed nothing related to this mod, same as all previous patches. if it doesn't work for you, then you haven't installed it properly.
