README

BetterLoadingScreen

Improves Lethal Company's loading screen by showing a rolling three-line status history instead of a single changing line.

The three-line block stays centered on the same point as vanilla Loading..., and the text uses a continuous vertical alpha gradient from transparent at the top to fully opaque at the bottom.

Joining a server

  • Getting server information...
  • Requesting lobby access...
  • Contacting server...
  • Waiting for server reply...
  • Joining server...

Hosting a server

Steam hosting can show:

  • Creating lobby...
  • Starting server...
  • Loading game...

LAN hosting skips the Steam lobby step and starts at Starting server....

Behavior

  • Writes status history directly to Lethal Company's existing loading text.
  • Keeps the existing loading-text RectTransform centered on the vanilla loading-text center.
  • Uses stable loading-text bounds sized for the three-line status history so the text does not resize as statuses change.
  • Keeps up to three status entries visible at once.
  • Starts a fresh history for each new join or host attempt.
  • Uses the game's loading-screen lifecycle to start and stop BetterLoadingScreen presentation.
  • Disables its hooks if the verified connection-status patches cannot be applied safely.

Requirements

  • Lethal Company v81
  • BepInExPack 5.4.2305
