007 First Light Skip Intro Mod v1.0

                    
007 First Light starts with shader compilation and a title flow that many players would rather skip once the game is already set up. The Skip Intro mod boots the game straight into the shader compilation and press-to-play screen. Furthermore, it ships as a Runtime folder replacement, with an optional experimental version that also bypasses shaders. Consequently, you can get into the game faster with fewer startup screens in the way.
What’s Included

Skips the intro flow and boots straight into the shader compilation / press-to-play screen.
Includes an experimental shader bypass file option.
Works by replacing files inside the game’s Runtime folder.

Why You Need This Mod
This mod is useful if you launch the game frequently and want to avoid repeating the intro sequence every time. It also helps keep startup more streamlined after you already know the game is working correctly. Additionally, the optional shader bypass gives you a faster entry point if you want to test it.
How to Get Started

Download the mod archive and extract it to your PC.
Open your 007 First Light installation folder and find the Runtime directory.
Copy the Runtime folder from the mod package into the game folder:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\007 First Light

Allow Windows to replace packagedefinition.txt when prompted.
Launch 007 First Light. The intro sequence is now skipped.
To uninstall, delete Runtime\chunk0patch203.rpkg and restore the original Runtime\packagedefinition.txt.

Good to Know

This mod can conflict with other mods that also replace Runtime\packagedefinition.txt and use the same patch level.
The experimental shader bypass may behave differently if the vanilla shader compilation takes longer than expected.
