About this mod Author’s original text
Skip Intro
Skips the startup splash screens in Gamble With Your Friends and sends the game directly to its normal network setup scene.
The mod does not modify Steam authentication, lobby creation, websocket setup, or hosting logic. Once the game's network setup scene is reached, the intro patches are removed and the game continues with its own startup flow.
Features
- Skips the splash/intro scenes automatically on launch.
- Brings the game window forward during startup so no click or key press is required.
- Leaves the game's auth and networking flow intact.
- Unpatches itself after startup setup begins.
Installation
Install with a -compatible mod manager, or manually place the package contents into the game folder so the plugin DLL ends up at:
BepInEx/plugins/Skip_Intro.dll
Configuration
The config file is generated at:
BepInEx/config/com.mister9982.gamblewithyourfriends.skipintro.cfg
Available options:
- SkipTimeoutSeconds: Delay before retrying if the first skip attempt cannot find a valid scene target.
- ForceWindowFocusOnStartup: Brings the game window to the foreground during startup.
- StartupFocusRetrySeconds: How long to retry startup focus while splash scenes are being skipped.
Compatibility
Built for BepInEx 5 and Gamble With Your Friends.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
