NOTES It is a first time I see a game that has 27s long sequence of unskippable warnings and logos.
Mod works consistently for me with any optimizer installed. I've got multiple reports, that mod may not work on the first launch for some users (2min long petal loop), but works on every next game start.
HOW TO FIX PETAL LOOP INSTEAD OF INSTANT MAIN MENU:
delete the 2 shader cache files from %appdata%\sandfall\saved folder
install this mod (and other optimization mod .paks if needed) in the ~mods folder
run game, instant boot no intros and no long petal screen
I just tried Caites' No Intro mod. And I can also confirm that there is no compatibility issue with my Optimized Tweaks mod. No Intro works as intended. (also Steam version)
You could try this, again: 1) Remove all mods you have, start the vanilla game. Exit the game 2) Add No Intro mod, start the game (just to enter the Main menu to see if the mod works). Exit the game 3) Add my mod, start the game
1. install obscurfix with skip intros TURNED OFF 2. delete the 2 shader cache files from %appdata%\sandfall\saved folder 3. installed this mod (and i have the other optimization mod .pak) in the ~mods folder 4. run game, instant boot no intros and no long petal screen
Had the petal loop issue with the more-downloaded Optimizer mod, but not this one, it boots instantly: https://www.nexusmods.com/clairobscurexpedition33/mods/3?tab=files
I tried installing it and it just loops the falling petals and never actually gets to the menu.
Correction: if I wait long enough it does get to the menu. So it seems to stop the intro videos from playing and just plays falling petals for the same amount of time.
When I ran the mod for the first time there was indeed an oddly long petal loop, I'd say about two minutes. Eventually, it broke trough into the game menu. Every game launch after that is fast, and mod works as intended. This was done on clean Steam client with manual mod installation. Thanks for the mod.
Thank you for making this! It doesn't seem to work with the Optimized Tweaks mod (I get the endless petals that other people have mentioned). Once I removed that, it reached the title screen immediately.

Other mods work good, but this one just stuck the game in a loop with particles before the title screen ever shows.
tried with optimizers in the same folder and see no issues.
remove optimizer, gets to main menu really fast. No other mod, on steam
Weird bug.
No Intro works as intended. (also Steam version)

Your mod is installed correctly. I know it because it's stuck on the petal loop, which Vynn's suggestion doesn't help in fixing.
1. install obscurfix with skip intros TURNED OFF
2. delete the 2 shader cache files from %appdata%\sandfall\saved folder
3. installed this mod (and i have the other optimization mod .pak) in the ~mods folder
4. run game, instant boot no intros and no long petal screen
(deleting the two cache files from %LocalAppData%\Sandfall\Saved\)
Thank you very much!
Would be nice if you could pin that solution also, Caites. And thanks for another awesome mod!

That said, they pinned a fix that works. Check it out.

both mods do not properly skip it for me
Edit: also in like 1 out of 10 cases it works. but most of the time it does not
Maybe consflicting with this mod (also its similar ini option has the same bug):
