Last loading screen issue

[Amaterasu]

It says on the Wiki that "the image with highest file name (ex: load_13.dds) has a far more likely chance (50% as of patch 2.8.2) to appear first.", is it possible to change this via the game files? It gets a little tiresome watching the same image over the others when starting the game, so I wanted to modify it.

Hmm...
I don't see that statement anywhere on that patch page.

The line similar to what you claim is :

"The most recently added loading screen is no longer guaranteed to be the first loading screen shown;
it is instead simply far more likely to be show (50-50)"

Hmm...
I only know about changing the pictures, but not about where to find the likelyhood of which becomes the first picture.

Interesting question though.
Couldn't find it yet, but i fail at gfx modding and such, so i search pretty blind.
Maybe someone else knows.

The statement I quoted wasn't from that specific page, it's from this one, although the one you mentioned does refer to the same thing

I don't think the behaviour in question is softcoded, so you're probably stuck with the same loading screen. However, as the loading screens are graphical I don't think they're checksummed, so you could conceivably create a tiny mod that's got nothing but renumbered loading screens, which at least will change the most frequently picked one from vanilla.

Adding to Silversweepers post, there are several loading screen mods on the Steam Workshop, which you could take for example how to make your own, but i don't recall one of those changing anything else than the pictures themselves in gfx\loadingscreens.
