Tutorial : Loading screen for the fullscreen mode

[Kosnix]

hello, I always found that a loading screen was missing in full screen mode that would hide the desktop when launching the games. I created one that I share with you.



First of all you will have to download the irfanview software
https://www.irfanview.com/

and a loading image:

In playnite, at the script section, in batch language:

when the game is launched:
Start [Your Gif folder]\loadingBlanc.gif
TIMEOUT /T 1 /NOBREAK

when the game is closed:
TIMEOUT /T 1 /NOBREAK
taskkill /f /im i_view64.exe

You must go to irfanview settings to launch a full screen file, and select irfanview as the default software for GIF fi les

Thanks for this. I followed your steps but all that opens when I launch a game is the command prompt. Any ideas?

sorry, there was an error in the code.
in the first line, remove the ""

Many thanks! That works! And looks really good!

I wonder if you'd be able to get the game's Platform and do a platform specific loading screen...

I am looking for a method to get the background image of the games with the script but it seems impossible. Do you have any ideas ?
