MAIN MENU REPLACER

Replace your current main menu video with a 4K video loop taken from the Fallout 76 official trailer.


INTRO VIDEO REPLACER

When you load your game, by default a PLEASE STAND BY intro video plays which delays your game from launching.

You can remove this file to speed up your games launch OR you can use my replacement files to speed up the launch AND make the game feel more modern, smooth and still maintain an official look.

HOW TO CREATE AN AUTO MENU REPLACER
(to randomly swap the main menu video to a new video each time you play)

Location:

\Fallout76\Data\Video

Step 1: Create a folder called MenuLoop

Step 2: Add all the .bk2 files you wish to use as main menu videos to the MenuLoop folder

You can find all the intro videos here:

Step 3: In your main Video folder create a new text document and add the following code:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "VideoDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Data\Video\MenuLoop"
set "GameVideo=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Data\Video\MainMenuLoop.bk2"
cd /d "%VideoDir%"
rem Collect all video files into an array
set count=0
for %%f in (*.bk2) do (
    set /a count+=1
    set "video!count!=%%f"
)
rem Generate a random number between 1 and count
set /a randomindex=%random% %% count + 1
rem Copy the selected random video to the game video path
copy "!video%randomindex%!" "%GameVideo%" /Y >nul
rem Start the game
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Fallout76.exe"

Step 4: Save the file as ALL FILE TYPES and name it MenuVideoLoop.bat

YOU MUST DO THIS:

Replace the directories! 

Change the following to YOUR directories:

MenuLoop folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Data\Video\MenuLoop

Fallout 76 Video folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Data\Video\MainMenuLoop.bk2

Fallout 76 executable:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout76\Fallout76.exe


Your Fallout 76 Video folder should look like this: 

Fallout 76 Video folder

The only difference should be the Fallout 76 shortcut. Which you can make by doing the following:

Step 1: Create a shortcut to the MenuVideoLoop.bat

Step 2: Rename the shortcut Fallout 76

Step 3: Change the icon of the shortcut to the Fallout 76 executable

Step 4: Replace your original Fallout 76 shortcut with the new one we created.

Launch the game from the new shortcut and everytime you launch the game, a new main menu video will play (it will randomly cycle through whatever videos you put in the MenuLoop folder).


ENJOY!
