Using the Level Loading Screen Config

Question

I am aware of the data given [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/ui-editor-load-screens.html) and [here](https://forums.awsgametech.com/t/enabling-and-using-the-loadscreencomponent-to-have-loading-screens-for-your-game-and-levels/3679/1) on creating a loading screen between levels. I have a level.cfg file at /Levels/, and the UInamed "finalLevelLoadingUI.uicanvas" at the same level. The level.cfg file contains this one line:

```
level_load_screen_uicanvas_path = "finalLevelLoadingUI.uicanvas"
```
However, when I launch the level (from another level), all I get is a black screen (the UI is blue, with loading text) before going to the actual level. I have tried other CVars (i.e. e_Sun), and those have propagated fine. I have also verified that **AZ_LOADSCREENCOMPONENT_ENABLED** is 1 in code.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @REDACTEDUSER

The level_load_screen_uicanvas_path is relative to your  root directory. Try this path instead (substituting for the correct path names):

```
level_load_screen_uicanvas_path = "Levels//finalLevelLoadingUI.uicanvas"
```
Update: accidentally had  in the CFG path. This isn't needed since the path itself is relative to the game project root directory.

Thank you @REDACTEDUSER Follow-up question: is it possible to get the text changed on the [documentation page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/ui-editor-load-screens.html) for this content? Specifically this area (I don't want anyone else misinformed); I have already submitted feedback for this as well: ``` level_load_screen_uicanvas_path – File path to the .uicanvas level load screen file relative to your level path. For example, if your level load canvas is at \dev\StarterGame\Levels\StarterGame\UiAnimMultiSequence.uicanvas (root of the level directory— same as level.cfg), you would type UiAnimMultiSequence.uicanvas for this parameter.
