¶ LoadSense Pro Wiki
Version 1.1 | Roadmap 2025 | Unreal Engine 5.4-5.6
¶ Welcome to LoadSense Pro
Professional Loading Screen System for Unreal Engine 5.5
LoadSense Pro is a production-ready, subsystem-driven loading screen solution that goes beyond simple visual transitions. Built for games requiring reliable multiplayer synchronization, designer-friendly configuration, and enterprise-grade state management.
¶ 🎯 What Makes LoadSense Pro Different
¶ Subsystem-Driven Architecture
Unlike widget-only solutions, LoadSense Pro uses UGameInstanceSubsystem for persistent, reliable loading state management that survives level transitions and multiplayer scenarios.
¶ True Multiplayer Synchronization
- Ensures all clients are fully loaded before transitions
- Prevents race conditions and “half-loaded” game states
- Network-safe state gating for seamless multiplayer experiences
¶ Designer-Friendly Configuration
All settings managed through Data Assets:
- Loading images and timing
- Music tracks and crossfade settings
- Map-specific configurations
- No hardcoded values or Blueprint complexity
¶ Interface-Driven Extensibility
Implement ILoadingScreenInterface on any Actor or Widget to respond to loading events with custom logic, animations, or synchronization points.
¶ 🚀 Quick Start Guide
¶ 1. Installation
- Extract LoadSense Pro to your project’s
Plugins/folder - Regenerate project files
- Enable the plugin in Project Settings
- Compile your project
¶ 2. Basic Setup
// Get the subsystem
ULoadingScreenSubsystem* LoadingSystem =
GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<ULoadingScreenSubsystem>();
// Load with data asset (recommended)
LoadingSystem->LoadMapByDataAsset(YourLoadingDataAsset);
// Or load with direct parameters
LoadingSystem->LoadMapWithScreen("YourMapName", YourWidgetClass);
¶ 3. Create Loading Data Asset
- Content Browser → Right Click → Miscellaneous → Data Asset
- Select
LoadingScreenDataAsset - Configure:
- Map Name: Target level to load
- Loading Images: Background textures array
- Widget Class: Your loading screen widget
- Music Config: Audio settings data asset
¶ 📋 Core Components
¶ LoadingScreenSubsystem
- Central orchestration system
- Handles state management and transitions
- Provides Blueprint and C++ interfaces
- Manages widget lifecycle and input modes
¶ LoadingScreenDataAsset

- Map-specific settings and assets
- Reusable across multiple levels
¶ MusicConfigDataAsset
- Audio track management
- Crossfade and shuffle settings
- Volume and loop controls
¶ WBP_LoadingScreen
- Reference widget implementation
- Fade transitions and progress tracking
- Easily extensible or replaceable
¶ ILoadingScreenInterface
- Standardized communication protocol
- Implement on custom widgets/actors
- Event-driven architecture
