Ok, this has only happened once or twice, but it's very weird.
The initial load screen you see, that loads up at the start of every game, between the splash screen and your menu (it fades out as your menu music starts and the menu appears), we thought we knew what file that was, and that it was static. Meaning we could count on, each time the game loads, the same one being used. We had it set on one of them (loading_screen_12.tga, or something like that), and it worked fine, then about six months ago it suddenly changed in a new build. Nothing we knew of caused it. So I thought it was just a fluke - maybe I overwrote a file I didn't expect. From then on, it was showing loading_screen_13.tga each time. So we made that one the one that was our special "initial load screen" and it had a different look than our others.
Well, a few days ago I added some more loading screens, but I'm 100% sure I didn't alter loading_screen_13.tga. However, our new "initial loading screen" suddenly changed and now it is loading_screen_14.tga. This makes me think that when we add new loading screens (like loading_screen_29.tga, etc.) that it "bumps" the initial loading screen up and it changes.
If anyone else has seen this sort of thing happen or has any knowledge of it, please let me know. This is bugging me. :grin:
