Since the mod isn't working for many (including me), here is a short "tutorial" (if you can call it that):
1. Turn on your webcam and hold a finger over the lens or a sheet of paper 2. Use your preferred video program (default is Ceamera on Win10), press play and immediately press stop 3. Find the file you just made and copy it (Make sure it is an mp4 file!) 4. Navigate to Greedfall's video folder (boot/data/video) or simply search vor .mp4 in Greedfall's main folder 5. Copy the names of the two videofiles "boot_vid_focus" and "boot_vid_spiders" 6. Rename your blank files after them and replace the original files with them
With theese files my game's loading time is equal to standard intro (except without the videos itself) i've experimented with custom length of the videos and got almost instant load. Maybe they'll help someone... https://anonfile.com/Q8y4N752nf/video_7z
Thanks, had problem where video kept crashing and using this fixed it. Would like to endorse the mod but considering that the mod was causing a crash I can not bring myself to endorse it. Would endorse yours if I could tho...

I just replaced the 2 video files with the ones you provided and it works perfectly no crashes at all.. really fast loading, no more boring Intro.. love it <3
Did you edit the name afterwards? It only crashes if there's no video files with correct names. I couldn't replicate crashing with the files and installation guide I provided. You probably deleted/renamed something you shouldn't have or some other mod is doing the crashing.
It really doesn't make sense, but it seems you're not the only one. Weird. Can't come up with a fix either, so I guess you could try to download the blank files from some other source, see if they work?
So,I've made a dummy vid myslef by cutting the logos to 1 sec. each and it works fine..The only thing I can think of as a cause for crashes,is that the ones you uploaded have a duration of 00:00,which shouldn't be a problem in a general but yeah..Can't think of anything else XD
Same problem here, the game crashes. Without any other mod, without renaming or changing anything, simply dragging the boot folder and replacing the two video files with the ones included in the mod. It seems the game genuinely refuses to start unless it can recognize the original intro files regardless of name, and I have no idea how you personally managed to bypass this detection.
Can't replicate the issue, so it's kinda hard to fix it. Couldn't find anything in the most obvious places in the game files for the file path of videos or any mention of them whatsoever, so don't hold your breath on a fix. Sorry.

I was coming to report this mod caused crashes for me too.
SilentWarriorr, I'd suggest you post this mod to Nexus so you can get credit. I gave you a Kudos for your effort.

Thank you very much sir!!
Super strange why your files would not work for some (like me) and work just fine for others. Either way thank you for the effort friend.
I couldn't replicate crashing with the files and installation guide I provided. You probably deleted/renamed something you shouldn't have or some other mod is doing the crashing.
I would advise a fix for this issue.
