The chilling world of *R.E.P.O.* offers a unique horror experience unlike *Resident Evil* or *Silent Hill*. However, some players are encountering a frustrating issue: the game gets stuck on the loading screen. This guide outlines several solutions to get you back into the action.
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:
- Right-click the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
- Select "Properties."
- Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.
- 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:
- Restart your PC and open Steam.
- Right-click *R.E.P.O.* in your Steam Library (or click the gear icon).
- Select "Properties."
- 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.
