This mod requires the following mods to function
BepInEx-BepInExPack
BepInEx pack for Mono Unity games. Preconfigured and ready to use.
Preferred version: 5.4.2305README
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.
- Resizes that RectTransform to the preferred width and height of the three displayed status lines whenever the status changes.
- 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
Install
