So with the current intro skip an NVME SSD is required or the game will crash... Well my new computer doesnt have an NVME but instead has a SATA SSD.
Since I know how the current method works thanks to this link:
I decided to try different methods to make the intro skip slightly slower by allowing 1 or 2 of the "ad" screens to appear first.
With only 1 added screen I was able to successfully load the game significantly faster without crashing.
This is the method I used: (If you dont understand this line, refer to the link above)
Push register1 "TEST_OBJECT" "VideoName" "..\\..\\GFxAssets\\videos\\intro\\UbiLogo.usm" "State" "LegalScreen" "UbisoftScreen" "Images" "logo" "ID" "logo" "File" "ubisoft_logo.png" 2
Instead of "BlackScreen" I simply added the loading screen before that which was "LegalScreen"
I suspect that even on an HDD this method would work simply by moving up the load screen chain until you find which one works for you.

Lightspeed seems fitting enough
I tested opening and closing the game multiple times, and so far it has worked every time on a WD blue 500gb SATA SSD (relatively low end)
