In the world of spooky games, titles like *Resident Evil* and *Silent Hill* set high standards, but *R.E.P.O.* delivers a unique co-op experience that stands out. However, some players on PC are encountering a frustrating issue where the game gets stuck on the loading screen. While the developer, semiwork, has yet to address this problem directly, there are several effective methods players can use to resolve this bug and dive back into the eerie atmosphere of *R.E.P.O.*.
How to Fix the R.E.P.O. Stuck on Loading Screen Bug
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 temporary glitches on its own. It's a quick fix that many gamers find successful, making it the first step to take when encountering the loading screen issue.
Reboot the PC
If restarting the game doesn't work, consider rebooting your PC. A fresh start can clear out any underlying issues that might be affecting the game. It gives your system a much-needed break and provides you with a moment to regroup before tackling the game's chilling challenges again.
Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator
Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can enhance the game's access to system resources, potentially smoothing out the loading process. To do this, follow these steps:
- Right-click on the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
- Select Properties and go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check the box next to "Run this program as an administrator."
This isn't a guaranteed fix, but it's a worthwhile attempt to resolve the issue.
Verify Game Files
Another solution involves verifying the integrity of the game files through Steam. This process ensures that all necessary files are present and uncorrupted. 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 page.
- Select Properties from the drop-down menu.
- Go to the Installed Files tab and click "Verify integrity of game files."
It's normal for some files not to verify during this process, and you can safely ignore any related messages. This step can help resolve the loading screen bug by ensuring all game files are in order.
