Create a REAL Loading Screen in Unreal Engine 5 with Async Loading Screen Plugin

Is this a proper loading screen or what?!?

Have you made your loading screen? what are you thinking of adding? Let me know below!

👇

I’ve implemented everything, but I still think there’s an issue. Whenever I open a level, the loading screen appears, which is fine, but I notice that not all textures are loaded, and the loading is slow even though I’ve set it to -1. The game waits for about 5 seconds before starting, and the meshes aren't loaded. Without the loading screen, the game is ready in just one second.

Any idea why this is happening?

So how do u make it so the louding screen shows up? U never explained that part only the settings on how to make ur loading screen how u want it never how to implement it into the blueprint for when switching levels

Is it okay that the textures haven't fully loaded?How can I make them fully load and increase the delay?

yeah uh not even the splash screen works so like

I'm having an issue where the intro movie is Windowed. I'm using UE5.0.2. If anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it. Great video by the way thank you!

Hey,
really helpfull video thank you!
In my case, if I click the 'New Game' button, I need to show the prologue cutscene. But the next time, if the player saves the game and runs the game again, it should show the 'Load Game' button, and after that, only images should be shown.

How can I do that?

I am getting a white line at the top of my screen throughout the entire game from load to starting to play.? Anybody else experience this?

What a tutorial! Absolutely deserves a like and a sub! Finally someone who doesn't teach about sub sub sub streaming-levels this or that :D
While the loading screens all appear, unfortunately the UE4/5 intro "video" isn't showing up although I followed the exact steps ... as in my "Movies" folder in the content browser I see the UE4 4k video file. Did I import it the wrong way? (Just drag and rop after creating the Movies folder)

Edit: Create the folder "Movies" in UE5 and after that copy over the mp4 video file into that said directory of your project using the explorer. Do NOT drag/drop the mp4 file into UE5. Now it is working for me.

mh, somehow i dont get the intro movie to work, did what u said but it just loads into the level as normal without a movie

There Is white at the bottom of my screen during loading and the throbbed will not appear and just wondering is there a way to have the game launch in fullscreen mode?

Thanks man for this, really appreciate this, helps a lot!

vor everiboby who sen this totorial aroud the time this coment was made, if it dosent work it is cus u ned to eiter use an exported vesion or the sart it vrom the editor like ist an exported version

Thank you very much

i try to use it at multiplayer but the function "Stop Loading Screen At Begin Play of The new level can't work, even when i replicate the info from the game mode that new joining player controller to that person PC, also why it not working with delay?

Does this plugin work with streaming levels?

In standalone, I only get the startup screen. For the loading screen, I get the default black screen with three animated dots that change in size. Is there something in UE5 taking over the loading screen that I need to turn off?

How could i make a progress circle throbber? so that the white part has finished loading and it starts filling up the circle? like the one in The Last Of Us part 2

🎉

the video plays normally,but after that it goes straight to level,no image or loading

Hey, have you had any problems with the level build? The plugin works in Standalone Game, but in the build the video for the loading screen just doesn't appear. Can you help with some advice?

Dude this is awesome, clear, direct , useful !!! thanks a lot!!

Hey cool video one thing tho it would've made more sense to use like a menu with buttons aka(start exit) for this purpose but someone with years of gamedev experience in Unity and now using Unreal I understand its the same, tho for newer people this might be not be that simple 🤔

anyways great content 👍

You can achieve the same thing with streaming levels too.

There's a white bar at the bottom of the loading screen that I cannot seem to be able to get rid of. Do you happen to know when it's happening?

When I run the standalone game, or even the packed game, my 2 intro movies are in widowed screenmode and ind different resolutions, then it went into Main Menu which is in Level Blueprint setted as fullscreen so then its fine. How to Change Screenmode and resolution of Intro Movies?

When I package/build the game, it stops working for some reason... It loads for 10 seconds, but then it freezes on the loading screen and I have to force the game shut. What can be the reason for this?

This loading screen thing is what I need for my open world RPG, thank you <3

i dont understand why it doesnt work... i got an mp4 intro i use the same exact name inside the text box without extensions. i got the file inside Content/Movies/ im here trying 2 days to find a solution... ive watched your video like 15times already :P thats crazy

Does this work with 'ServerTravel' to switch maps in a multiplayer game? It looks like it specifically looks for 'open level'

my game was showing up before the load of the level, looking very unprofessional, and async load fixed it, i tried add lots of loading screen, except for streaming since thats more complex levels i believe but it was next, but once i saw async work perfectly for my mobile game, it was very well!

Is this works in Server Travel? Thanks.

I was excited that we were about to learn some new async C++ and then relieved I could just use a plugin :)

How do I regulate how often the image changes?

Fantastic video, thanks!!!

good job

For world partition ?

Thank you so much!!!

I almost believed about C++ XD

I don't want to show a loading screen at startup as I already have a widget for that. Only between levels so I've set up a background for the Default loading screen and not Startup loading screen however it's still showing the default one in startup for some reason. Any idea how to fix this? I'm also having another issue where when changing between levels, the layout of the loading screen loads before the actual background does which is bizarre.

Why was this video so hard to find lol THANK YOU !!! Been looking for this info my whole life LOL

This plugin is good, but it doesn't work well when you work on a project that you will stream with pixelstreaming. After trying this plugin and other payed plugins I found that it is better to make the loading screen using the async nods via blueprints. It is the best solution that works in both local and pixel streaming. another issue I faced after the game loads is stuttering when because even by using async loading, the textures and shaders in the loaded levels have to compile once they are loaded therefore the only plugin that fixed this issue is the shader compilation screen.

Nice work. I think we cannot have multiple assets for throbber? like the index we can use for the tip? I wanted to have 2 or different throbbers using image sequence. Thanks

Ok, so to be able to see your movie, you need to place your movie like that "Content">"Movies>place it here. If you place it in another place it will not work

So my movie doesn't start up, and I don't know why because its a media file in mp4 format in my project

Why does my opening cinematic start on the small screen?

Could you please do a lobby or UI for a battle royale game ❤

Can I set my own screen for the loading interface?
I can't download your comparison table....
You can use a flat ui umg to click and then load it.
Can't the button directly open the map using open level?
He can't use the normal preview, he can only use the game mode! This way I will lose some files...

Fantastic plugin, thank you for showing the detailed steps. Your game is looking interesting, btw, keep it up!

Was this video inspired after playing the Knights Path? 😅 Good job, btw, exactly what I need, thanks! 😊
