📋 About This Mod
Forza Horizon 6 makes you sit through ~45 seconds of startup before you reach the menu. A big chunk of that isn't loading at all - it's a scripted wait timer behind the disclaimer / logo / "loading" screens.
Other "skip intro" mods only swap the intro videos for a black screen, so you still sit there staring at black for 20+ seconds.
This mod actually removes the wait itself. It detects that timer-gated hold and fast-forwards the game's internal clock straight past it, so you drop into the menu the moment real loading is done.
Installation
-
[]Download and unzip the archive.[/]
[]Copy version.dll and fastboot.ini into your Forza Horizon 6 install folder, next to forzahorizon6.exe.
Already have a version.dll from another mod? Rename your existing version.dll to version_orig.dll; our version.dll will load it alongside the skip.[/]
[]Launch the game normally. Done.[/]
Optional: skip the press-start prompts too. By default the mod stops once you reach the menu. If you want to go all the way, set enter_spammer = 1 in fastboot.ini: after the intro skip it presses through the main menu prompts and drops you straight into the actual game loading screen.
