📋 About This Mod
AutoLoadGame
This is the continuation of gniver's excellent AutoLoadGame mod. Gniver has transferred the mod for continued development.
Original mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/493
Usage
Simple mod; it loads your most recent game automatically, or go into Skirmish MechBay. Yes, the entire point is not having to click the buttons.
It doesn't care if it's career or campaign or skirmish, whatever is most recently saved will be loaded immediately after the game scans your save files. Or, goes to MechBay (see readme.txt).
Loading operation
The mod operates as follows:
By default will load the last save.
If a command line argument is present, the game will open the specified screen.
Or, while ModTek is loading:
Hold SHIFT to display the main menu normally.
* Hold CTRL to toggle modes between Save and MechBay auto-loading (See readme.txt)
Command Line Mode
The parameter -AutoLoadGame={option} can be added on the command line or in a shortcut to specify which screen to launch.
This allows a developer to quickly launch to various screens without needing to disable the mod or hold down shift.
Steam Shortcut (App ID)
To create a shortcut with the AutoLoadGame parameters, create a new desktop shortcut and set the Target to the following:
{SteamDir}steam.exe -applaunch 637090 -AutoLoadGame={option}
For example:
C:\Steam\steam.exe -applaunch 637090 -AutoLoadGame=MainMenu
Using Steam.exe's applaunch option avoids Steam popping up a warning about extra parameters added on launch.

Auto Load Game is a tiny UI mod for an unspecified game that automatically loads your most recent save on startup, skipping the main menu. Hold Shift to access the main menu normally. With only 8 endorsements and last updated in 2022, it's a niche utility for players who want to jump straight into their game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves time for players who always continue from their last save.
- Simple and unobtrusive—just hold Shift if you need the menu.
- Lightweight UI mod with a clear purpose.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low adoption (8 endorsements) suggests limited testing or niche appeal.
- Last updated in 2022—may be incompatible with current game versions.
For players who always load their most recent save and want to skip menu clicks. If you frequently switch saves or need the main menu, this mod might annoy you—but Shift is there as a workaround.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If the mod doesn't work, check that you're placing files in the correct game directory—most UI mods go in a specific folder.
- Test with a backup save first to ensure auto-load doesn't skip a critical menu option.
- Remember that holding Shift at startup bypasses the auto-load, so you can always access the main menu.
