Ohhh that's good! Yeah the custom loading bar really sucks.

I changed the texture to a different one actually. Haha.

You need to completely remove the loading bar VTFs yourself or load the default loading bars over Dark Carnival Remix. I made a new mod that has the default loading bar.

That loading bar also appears for a split second upon loading other campaigns as well. A simple outline would've sufficed - I might've kept that permanently.

I know right?? That cheap looking loading bar is so annoying and looks very gross to me too!

Interesting. I've been trying to ignore that cheap loading bar for ages as I wasn't able to track which mod from the hundreds of mods I have installed included it without my consent and now I'm going to finally be able to wipe it out, thanks a lot!
