Splash Screen

The splash screen is shown on game startup, before the engine and your loading screen widget are ready. It is drawn with Slate, so it cannot use a UMG widget.

The splash screen is only shown in a packaged or standalone game. It is never shown in the editor or on a dedicated server.

Splash Screen Type

Choose the type with Splash Screen Type in Project Settings.

Type	What is shown	Settings
BLACK	A black screen	None
LOADING	A text on a black screen	Splash Screen Loading Text and Splash Screen Loading Font
IMAGE	An image	Splash Screen Image, Splash Screen Stretch and Splash Screen Stretch Direction

With IMAGE, the plugin uses its default image if Splash Screen Image is not set or is not a Texture 2D.

How long it is shown

The splash screen stays up until the engine has finished loading, and then for Show Splash Screen Additional Secs more.

After the splash screen, the normal loading screen takes over while the first map loads.

Turning it off

Turn on Disable Splash Loading Screen in Project Settings.
