If there is an entry sStartingConsoleCommand=filename, the game takes a long time to start.

I couldn't understand why it took 5-6 seconds from clicking on Launch to the loading screen appearing. And for me it turned out that this happens when there is an entry pointing to the startup file. The contents of the file do not matter (it may be empty).

Is it possible to somehow keep the option of an autorun command file, but at the same time remove this delay? For now, all that remains is to either wait or run the file from the console manually. Both options are not very convenient. Why is there this delay at all? There is nothing demanding on hardware performance...

Are you sure it's caused by sStartingConsoleCommand? The command or batch file defined there is executed once the engine loads game data which happens after the game is opened. At that time, the main menu's bink movie is already playing.

Yes, I'm sure of it. If there is an entry "sStartingConsoleCommand=bat startup" in Fallout4.ini, after starting the game there is a black screen for 5-6 seconds and then a video appears. If there is no record, the video starts playing after 0.5 seconds. Moreover, the startup file may be completely empty.
