Pardon me if this was asked before, but I cannot find anything on the subject. I hear of some developer code to put into a console to remove the splash screen, but I do not know where to find that. Is it the game console or a separate tool?
#Everest Startup Splash Screen Removal?

you use the --disable-splash launch argument
either use it normally as a launch argument, or put it as a line in everest-launch.txt in your celeste folder

this the place to "put it as a line"?
do i just paste --disable-splash a few lines under loglevel verbose?
frail epoch
yea just put it on its own line somewhere

resolved - it worked! thank you so much, the splash is unnecessary clutter imo.
frail epoch
it was added because first launch after installing everest versions after 4465 can take quite a while, long enough that people commonly thought the game just didn't launch
so we put the splash screen there as reassurance that yes, it is in fact launching

for sure, ive been there, just have a lot of hours so i dont need that reassurance anymore, but props for it being easily toggleable / including it in the first place
frail epoch
i think there's also some work being done to make the splash actually show loading progress too
just not done yet

oo fancy i didnt even know that could be measured
