Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC might find themselves stuck on the loading screen, unable to dive into the game's terrifying world. While the developer, semiwork, has yet to officially address this issue, there are several methods you can try to resolve it.
Close and Reopen the Game
A classic solution for many gaming issues, closing and reopening *R.E.P.O.* can often resolve the problem. This simple step allows the game to reset and potentially fix any temporary glitches. It's a quick and easy fix that works more often than you might think, so it should be your first go-to solution.
Reboot the PC
If a second attempt at launching the game doesn't work, consider rebooting your PC. A fresh start can help clear out any lingering issues that might be causing the loading screen bug. Plus, it gives you a moment to take a break and gather your thoughts before jumping back into the eerie atmosphere of *R.E.P.O.*.
Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator
Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrative privileges can improve its performance by granting the game full access to your system's resources. While it's not guaranteed to solve the loading screen issue, it's definitely worth a try. Here’s how to do it:
- Right-click on the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
- Click on Properties and navigate to the Compatibility tab.
- Select "Run this program as an administrator."
Verify Game Files
Another effective method to tackle the stuck on loading screen bug is to verify the integrity of *R.E.P.O.*'s game files through Steam. This ensures that all files are in place and up to date. Here’s how to verify game files on Steam:
- Restart your PC and open Steam.
- Right-click *R.E.P.O.* in the Steam Library or click the gear icon on its Library page.
- Click Properties from the drop-down menu.
- Navigate to the Installed Files tab and click "Verify integrity of game files."
Keep in mind that not all files may verify successfully, but Steam indicates this is normal. You can safely ignore any messages about files not verifying as you focus on resolving the loading screen issue.
