"Press any key to continue"

I have a huge issue with people not pressing any key when the game has loaded...

In DotA, this issue is removed, since it automatically, somehow, presses a key for you..

How is this done?

It's something similar to having less then 10 characters on the loading screen.

Just screenshot your loading screen, then make that the actual loading screen

If a player doesn't press a key, then it will automatically be pressed after ~15-30 seconds. So, you're not really having a problem with people not pressing it, maybe it's just that the load time is really long? Also, some people have incredibly slow computers/internet connections so that might be it.

Not true, i held a game up for 5 minutes once by accident because i was reading a book and didn't realise i needed to press the key.

Changing the loading screen to default doesnt bring up the key press.
Also I think that some of the loading screens brings it up, and some doesnt.

As far as i know, the more text your screen shows the longer its up there for, i might run a test

Please do, Tidehunter :)

I think the old Credits loading screen skips the Press Any Button. The one with Alliance vs. Horde.

I'm not sure about this; just do it my way.

You're probably right :)

Your way can be a big jump in file size =\.

Not if you only use a custom file for the text area, then it will only add 100k.
