How to Tackle R.E.P.O. Being Stuck on the Loading Screen

Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC have encountered a frustrating issue where the game becomes stuck on the loading screen, preventing gameplay. While the developer, semiwork, has yet to address this problem officially, there are several methods you can try to resolve this bug and enjoy the game's haunting atmosphere.

Close and Reopen the Game

A classic yet often effective solution to many gaming issues is simply closing and reopening the game. This gives *R.E.P.O.* a chance to reset and potentially resolve any glitches on its own. It's a simple first step that can often get you back into the game quickly.

Reboot the PC

If relaunching the game doesn't work, consider rebooting your PC. A fresh start can sometimes clear out temporary glitches that might be causing the loading screen issue. Plus, it gives you a moment to gather your thoughts before jumping back into the scares.

Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator

Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can grant the game full system access, potentially smoothing out any operational hiccups. 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 for "Run this program as an administrator."

Verify Game Files

Another approach is to verify the integrity of the game files through Steam. This process ensures all game files are present and up-to-date, which can fix issues related to corrupted files. Here's how to verify game files:

• 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."

Note that it's normal for some files not to verify during this process, and you can safely ignore any messages about this.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the *R.E.P.O.* stuck on loading screen bug and immerse yourself in its terrifying gameplay. For those interested in more about *R.E.P.O.*, check out details on all the monsters in the game and strategies to escape them.
