Skip the title screen and go directly to the character selection screen
Skip Start Screen
✨ **Skip the lengthy startup process and start your magical journey directly! **
This mod allows you to bypass the title screen of "Hogwarts Legacy" and go directly to the character selection interface after launching the game, saving valuable game time.
🚀 Features
- **Extremely fast startup**: Say goodbye to waiting during startup and enter the game world faster.
- **Safe and reliable**: The author adopts a relatively safe method to avoid problems that may be caused by completely disabling the startup process (such as operations related to user profile login).
- **Strong Compatibility**: Perfectly compatible with optimization modules such as removing epilepsy warnings and skipping shader compilation.
⚙️ Installation and use
Depending on the mod loader you use, choose the corresponding installation method:
**Apparate version**

```
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods
```
- **Activate the module**:
- Start the game.
- Press the **F8** key to bring up the console window.
- Enter the command **`sss`** and press Enter to confirm.
- Restart the game to take effect.
**UE4SS version**

📝 Notes and tips
- **Startup Flickering**: In the current version, you may see some screen flickering on startup, especially if you are also using mods that skip shader compilation. This is because the startup process is too fast and the system does not have time to load the correct textures. The author believes this is more secure than disabling the startup process entirely.
- **Future Features**: The author plans to add the function of automatically reading archives in the future, but it has not been implemented yet.
- **Performance Optimization Combination**: The author recommends using this module with the **Remove Epilepsy Warning** and **Shader Compilation Removed** modules, which can significantly speed up game startup and module testing.
- **Extra step to skip shader compilation**: If you are using a mod that skips shader compilation, in order to get the best results (to avoid 10+ seconds of black screen/seizure warning screen on startup and 100% CPU usage), you may need to rename the following directories:
```
C:\ProgramData\Hogwarts Legacy
```
**Note**: The author mentioned that disabling shader compilation is mainly for development purposes, and ordinary players need to weigh it themselves.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
