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.

• Lethal Company v81
• BepInExPack 5.4.2305
