Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC may find themselves stuck at the loading screen, unable to proceed into the game's eerie world. Although the developer, semiwork, has yet to address this issue officially, there are several effective methods you can try to fix the bug.
Close and Reopen the Game
A classic solution that often works wonders is simply closing and reopening *R.E.P.O.*. This allows the game to reset and potentially resolve any temporary glitches. It's a simple first step that can save you a lot of hassle.
Reboot the PC
If relaunching the game doesn't work, consider rebooting your PC. A fresh start can clear out any background processes that might be interfering with *R.E.P.O.*. Plus, it gives you a moment to regroup before jumping back into the game's terrifying atmosphere.
Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator
Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can help the game access all the resources it needs to run smoothly. Here’s how to do it:
- Right-click on the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
- Select Properties and go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check the box that says “Run this program as an administrator”.
Verify Game Files
Another effective solution is to verify the integrity of the game files through Steam. This ensures that all necessary files are present and undamaged. Follow these steps:
- Restart your PC and open Steam.
- Right-click on *R.E.P.O.* in your Steam Library or click the gear icon on its Library page.
- Select Properties from the drop-down menu.
- Go to the Installed Files tab and click “Verify integrity of game files”.
It's worth noting that not all files may verify successfully, which Steam indicates is normal. You can safely ignore any messages about files not verifying as you focus on resolving the loading screen issue.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix the *R.E.P.O.* stuck on loading screen bug and continue your chilling adventure. For more tips, check out guides on all the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* and strategies to escape them.
