Start-up animation delay about fabulously-optimized

[Tiagoquix]

The problem I have with this is that we are introducing an artificial delay, which didn't exist before.

In my opinion, given that it is configurable, those who want can reactivate the splash screen animation. For most people, the loading screen isn't that spectacular and any half-second saved is a good thing.

The change was done to find a balanced solution that would satisfy the 59% who voted for Fadeless keeping and 41% for removal at #737. So instead of removing the animation entirely, I made it 4x faster than vanilla and configurable.

I can still consider tweaking the value even faster or adjusting other settings of RRLS, but at this point I don't think setting it to 0 seconds is a good solution.

I encourage you to join our Discord and read the full conversation of the "Remove Fadeless" thread to get the full context on why this change was made and what other alternatives were proposed.

Decided that the current value of 0.5s is still a good balance of "improved speed" vs "being jarring". This matches the previously ran public survey of FO users' benefits.

Luckily, the value is also easy to change for those who prefer 0s, 2s or something else - Mods, search "Remove Reloading Screen", 🎛️, adjust the slider, save.
