Suggestion RE splash screen - RunUO

Formater · 06-20-2008, 12:47 AM

I know some people do not like the new splash screen. I personally do not care.
I wanted to suggest that after initial install and first launch you add a option to not display splash on start up.
Just a idea.

Or put the old one back in.

Why don't people like the screen?

I don't think not displaying the screen is really an option. Razor's startup process is very long (because it waits for UO to start) and users need to see something on their screen during all of that. That is what the screen is for. It doesn't display it self any extra time more than what is needed, so it's not slowing you down.

Could you please revert it to the last one, this one is very obtrusive and annoying.

I agree... The new splash screen is very large compared to the other one. I find it annoying because it will block other windows I am working on when I launch it.

Zippy personally I dont care and I know it doesnt change how fast it loads. The number one complaint I have seen on the forums here and on gamers is that the image is too large. Perhaps resize it a bit. Dunno. Just trying to help. Unless people start paying for it they really should not bitch.

I have no problem with a splash screen... It is just that half my screen should not be taken up by it, in my opinion. I do not think there is anything wrong with showing that a program is running and loading, just do not take up so much space... I mean, IT IS HUGE!!! maybe 1/4 the size (1/2 height, 1/2 width) - which would put it close to the older ones size might work better.

Update:
-The size of the splash screen has been decreased, due to incessant whining
