Worked for me!!
I'm not sure you can totally bypass the splash screen altogether! I think youmay always have to hit escape!
This is what I do:
Start UT,
Hit escape after is says caching...twice,
hit F4,
And I'm in!!!
It may be the fastest way! You'll always have to hit something, whether it be escape, or F4, or F5 to refresh the server list!
Hope that helps!
Good luck,
