📋 About This Mod
Quick and dirty hack of the game start by hacking the mainmenu.swf and replacing the Bethesda intro video with emptiness. It does the following things:
- main menu runs at 60fps
- Bethesda intro video replaced by a dummy file resulting in skipping that part
- no health information text after the Bethesda intro video
- instant cut to the main menu...well, as fast as "instant" can be minus the hardcoded pauses
- no Bethesda logo on the main menu
- no "Welcome dear 100€ paying PC player. I hope you enjoy our console port." text
- just a shiny star, a planet, a menu, and the game logo
How to install?
1. make a file named "StarfieldCustom.ini" and place it to your MyGames/Starfield folder, put this right in:
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
2. unpack the . 7z and place the Data folder into your Starfield root folder allowing to override it all. The root folder is usually found in x:/xxx/Steam/steamapps/common. Apparently you want the Data folder inside the download, end up in the same place as the already existing Data folder in root folder. Alternatively you can just copy the "interface" and "video" to the Data folder.
Vortex users know more about installing with it than I do, so install according to Vortex instructions. Some users reported you can also use the "MyGames/Starfield" folder to copy the Data folder to. But I haven't verified that alternative. Let us know if that indeed works.
But backup and uninstall?
You can backup the video if you want. But you can also just verify game integrity on Steam to redownload the edited video file. For uninstalation additionally remove the .ini file, and the "interface" folder.
Does this disable Achievements?
I'm not sure. The internet says if you load your game in a modified state, it will fire a warning message "modding disables achievements bla bla bla" on loading the save. It doesn't do that for me, so interface hacks are maybe safe to use? Let me know of your experience in that regard.
Since I've got an achievement yesterday with the mod enabled, I guess achievements are not broken by loose interface files. However, opening the console does. You will even get said warning. If you accidentally open it make sure to exit the game, and reload, or achievements are gone.
