Does anyone have a ‘working’ solution for adding a loading screen to the TappyChicken iOS project? > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline.

After packaging a shipping-ipa to my iPhone4 the UE logo splash screen lasts 10 seconds, but when it disappears the screen is black for a further 20 seconds until the TappyChicken game is displayed. It is the ideal place to put a loading graphic for user feedback otherwise it looks as if the app has died. I have attepted the usual suggestions of making the TappyChicken map a sub-level of the main persistent map and using a Level Stream to open it, but it doesn’t work. There is still a 20 second delay before the game starts. I can see the Unreal Match 3 demo uses some kind of loading graphic but it isn’t clear how it was done and whether it used C++ to achieve it, which is what I’m trying to avoid. I refer to the TappyChicken project because it is a simpler project that is easier to test. It is obvious that UE can load levels/maps on iOS via menu selection, so not sure why there would be an issue loading a map at startup. Any working ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. ---

Hi Marc, That solution requires some C++ which I’m trying to avoid. There are ‘Blueprint only’ solutions out there, I just can’t find one yet. ---

🙂 How do you know there are solutions if you found none, yet? If you really read the wiki article, then you will find a link to a plugin where someone tool the C++ code and wrapped it up, so it can be used from within Blueprints. Marc ---

**\>:-) How do you know there are solutions if you found none, yet?** Because someone told me they have done it without the need for any C++ or plugins. I just don’t have the specific info on how (yet).
