CaptRavenous Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) I got tired of looking at the same loading screen. Its an epic pic, for the characters depicted on it, but I felt it was lacking that "Epic Star Wars" appeal. So, I was struck by Force Lightning, and had a most epic idea. Meet my new loading screen: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_b6li6e63YxY/SwZFC0Yw8nI/AAAAAAAAArM/sXOiYhmTJIY/s400/starwars-a_long_time_ago.jpg NOW the game feels more epic, and I actually look forward to the game loading. Nothing like seeing that screen for a minute, then the game fades it out and takes you to your character loading screen, love it! The above pic is smaller, for this forum, the pic I used can be found here. Now, if you are curious as to how you can do the same thing yourself, just locate the folder that has the LoadingScreen.jpg file ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic\swtor\retailclient\LoadingScreens - on my PC), and replace that file with a jpg of your own. I run my PC at 1920 x 1080, the pic is 1440 x 800, but the game resizes it to your resolution, so it should work great, no matter your resolution.

About a week after launch, my old guildmates replaced their loading screens with various altered versions that they had linked in either their vent info or on our site.

bahdasz Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 how does one change a loading screen? (im not very good with tech stuff) First thing I'd recommend is reading the OP's instructions on how to do it. (I'm not so good with thinking stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love you so much right now I want to make mistakes and babies. I hate my loading screen and now that I know how to change it we're going to be rocking some truly BA pic. Thank you so much.
