I have placed AGKSplash.png in the media folder, but no splash screen shows up either when broadcast to an Android device or run from the desktop. Is this command still current? Would I be better off creating my own splash screen command?

Many thanks for the code snippet, will probably implement this. Do you know if AGKSplash.png is still supposed to work, has it been deprecated?

I haven't tried the splash option on AppGameKit but just check in case its something to do with this:

I had 4 sound effects loaded into my app as wav files and only one worked, this baffled me for ages until I realised the extension of the file was in another case which windows doesn't show, it wasn't until I looked at the files in Linux that I realised the problem and when I changed them all to lower case it worked as I was loading them as lower case files, eg:

sound1.wav
sound2.WAV
sound3.WAV

Worth a look just in case.

Case was the first thing I looked at, still doesn't work I'm afraid.

Wasn't it originally placed in the root folder, not the media folder?

Onwards and sometimes upwards

+1 Jim! Placing AGKSplash.png into the root of your project will make it display briefly before your code starts, BUT it's not very elegant. Much nicer IMO to have a custom fade or animated splash.

Many thanks for all who helped. Placing AGKSplash.png into the root of the project worked on the PC (and not the media folder as the help file states) When broadcasting though it still did not work.

I will probably use the solution mentioned by CJB though as there seems to be a problem, or a bug with AGKSplash.png. Without the splash screen my code works fine and displays correctly, with the splash screen everything seems to be rendered a lot smaller after the splash screen has disappeared. I am using SetDisplayAspect (3.0/4.0) and the Splash Screen matched this aspect ratio.
