PC players launching *R.E.P.O.* may find themselves trapped on the loading screen, preventing gameplay. While the developer, semiwork, hasn't yet addressed this, several workarounds exist.

Simple Fixes: Close and Reopen, or Reboot

The first steps are often the simplest. Try closing and reopening *R.E.P.O.*. This allows the game to resolve minor issues independently. If that fails, rebooting your PC can often clear up underlying system conflicts. This also provides a brief respite from the game's intense atmosphere.

Run as Administrator

Granting *R.E.P.O.* administrator privileges can resolve permission-related issues. To do this:

  1. Right-click the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
  2. Select "Properties."
  3. Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.
  4. Check "Run as administrator."

Verify Game Files (Steam)

For Steam users, verifying game files ensures all game assets are intact and up-to-date. Follow these steps:

  1. Restart your PC and open Steam.
  2. Right-click *R.E.P.O.* in your Steam Library (or click the gear icon).
  3. Select "Properties."
  4. Go to the "Local Files" tab and click "Verify integrity of game files."

Note: Some files may fail verification; this is often normal and can be safely ignored.

These steps should resolve the *R.E.P.O.* loading screen issue. For more *R.E.P.O.* content, check out our guides on monsters and escape strategies.
