RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen
Immediately removes the default Roblox loading screen. Note if any object has been placed in ReplicatedFirst, the default loading screen will remove after 5 seconds regardless if this function has been called or not.
Developers should run this function from a LocalScript in ReplicatedFirst, as scripts in ReplicatedFirst will execute before anything else.
It is advised to not remove the default loading screen unless the developer wishes to display their own loading screen as an alternative. If the default screen is removed without replacement users will be able to see geometry loading in the background.

Code Samples
Custom Loading Screen
This sample demonstrates a custom loading screen with a basic TextLabel. The code should be placed in a LocalScript within ReplicatedFirst. To expand on this sample with loading screen animations, see the articles/Custom Loading Screens|Custom Loading Screens article.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
-- Create a basic loading screen
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.IgnoreGuiInset = true
local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 20, 40)
textLabel.Font = Enum.Font.GothamSemibold
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.8, 0.8, 0.8)
textLabel.Text = "Loading"
textLabel.TextSize = 28
textLabel.Parent = screenGui
-- Parent entire screen GUI to player GUI
screenGui.Parent = playerGui
-- Remove the default loading screen
ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()
--wait(3) -- Optionally force screen to appear for a minimum number of seconds
if not game:IsLoaded() then
game.Loaded:Wait()
end
screenGui:Destroy()
