Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC often find themselves stuck at the loading screen, unable to dive into the game's eerie atmosphere. While the developer, semiwork, has yet to address this issue, there are several effective workarounds you can try.
Close and Reopen the Game
The simplest and often most effective solution is to close and reopen *R.E.P.O.*. This action allows the game to reset and address any minor glitches that may be causing the loading screen to freeze. It's a quick fix that has resolved similar issues in many other games, so it's the first step you should take.
Reboot the PC
If a second attempt at launching the game fails, consider rebooting your PC. A fresh start can clear any temporary system issues that might be hindering the game's performance. Plus, it gives you a moment to take a break before jumping back into the horrors of *R.E.P.O.*.
Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator
Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can sometimes resolve loading issues by granting the game full access to your system resources. To do this:
- Right-click on the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
- Select Properties and go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check the box for "Run this program as an administrator."
Verify Game Files
Another effective method to tackle the stuck loading screen is to verify the integrity of the game files through Steam. This process ensures that all necessary files are present and correctly installed. Here's how to do it:
- 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."
Remember, it's normal for Steam to report that not all files may verify. You can safely ignore these messages as they do not necessarily indicate a problem.
By following these steps, you should be able to overcome the *R.E.P.O.* stuck on loading screen issue and immerse yourself in its terrifying world. For more tips, check out guides on all the monsters in *R.E.P.O.* and strategies to escape them.
