Customize your DayZ server's loading screen with this template.
The DayZ Custom Loading Screen template allows you to create a unique loading screen for your DayZ server. This README provides an overview and step-by-step instructions for implementing your custom loading screen using this template.
This loading screen template now supports ultrawide monitors, however, some stretching of the image may occur on ultrawide monitors. This template now works with DayZ with or without the DayZ Expansion mod.
For a detailed visual guide to creating your custom loading screen, check out the Video Tutorial.
