How you handle long black screen loading on mobile?

When launch game in PC it start immediately, but if i try launch it from mobile it stucks for3-4seconds. I've tried to use: background loading. slowly loads until 99%, holds for 2 seconds, gains to 100% and loads next scene. mulithread loading, blazingly loads until 99%, holds for 2seconds, gains to 100% and loads next scene.

You can use a splash screen with a loading message. I don't think it can be animated, but it will let users know the game hasn't froze.

@cybereality, just tried to use splash screen. My tests: PC: splash visible until scene was loaded Android: splash visible for 1 seconds -> black screen for 2 seconds -> scene loaded also splash on android isn't fullscreen with or without checked "fullsize" setting.

i guess, i need to manually control over loading sequence.

Hi, I don't have much experience with exporting for android, but I would try: 1. As startup scene set some relatively simple one as only texture rect or something like that. 2. In that startup scene load real first scene in the bg. 3. When finished loading add loaded scene before current one. 4. queue_free() current scene.

By "before current one" in step (3) I mean that root children should be like:

[some autoloads here]
-RealFirstScene
-DummySplashScene
