Ren'Py Initialize screen/ Loading screen

[Playstorepers]

So:
I am interested in showing off a picture, when you open up my game, while it's loading, so to say.

And no, it's not the splashart, that I'm looking for.

If you start up my game right now, it takes about 10 seconds until the window pops up.
And the time during that, I want to display a simple png or jpg file (While the gane window is still not open).

I'm certain, that there is a way to do that in Ren'Py, but I couldn't find anything, neither on this board nor on google.
There were only hints for a splashart, which is not what I am looking for, but maybe I'm just bad at googling stuff, which is a quintessential skill nowadays...

Thanks in advance for your help.

According to this documentation a progress bar is possible as presplash.
Can somebody confirm this?
If I put two png-files ("presplash_background.png" and "pre_splashforeground.png") into the game folder (just like the presplash.png file) nothing happens.
The presplash itself works just fine, but the progress bar does not work.

Is the location different? Or do I have to unlock something in the options.rpy?

Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Small bump and can a mod please move this thread into the Dev-help section.

I started this thread in the wrong section, I guess.

But the issue still stands:
Is the progressbar in the presplash a deleted feature or not?
Can somebody please tell me, cuz I found some threads, who were calling for a removal of the presplash altogether.

works for me using the example images from the renpy site. just the 2 bar images (no presplash.png) placed in game dir.
