📋 About This Mod
Skips loading the main menu background level, hence allows to get to the menu faster (around 10 seconds gain). Also removed intro video and "press any key" splash screen.
Only affects how fast you get to the main menu on startup or after exiting a game.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Halves startup time — that's a huge win for impatient players.
- Simple and effective: black background, no music, no fuss.
- Actively maintained (last updated September 2025).
⚠️ Cons
- Only 87 endorsements — not a huge community following, but the niche is real.
- Removes music entirely — if you like the menu theme, you'll lose it.
- Black background might feel too bare for some; no customization options mentioned.
For players who hate waiting at the main menu and want a snappier launch. Also for those who prefer a clean, distraction-free UI. Skip if you enjoy the game's menu music or want a more visually appealing menu.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a UI mod, make sure to place it in the correct mod folder (e.g., Data or mods) as per your game's structure.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable it after other UI mods to avoid conflicts.
- Test the startup time before and after to see the difference — you'll notice it immediately.
