Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Move, rename or delete the intro videos
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Shadow Tactics_Data\StreamingAssets\movies
  2. Move, rename or delete both video files mimimi_logo_boot_up_00.ogg and daedalic_logo_boot_up_00.ogg
If that results in a green screen, create dummy files (i.e. empty text files) with the same filenames and extensions, instead.
