Fix R.E.P.O. Loading Screen Bug: Quick Solutions

The gaming world is filled with chilling experiences, from classics like *Resident Evil* and *Silent Hill* to the newer, equally terrifying *R.E.P.O.*. However, some players are encountering a frustrating issue where *R.E.P.O.* gets stuck on the loading screen, hindering their co-op horror adventure. Here's how to tackle this pesky bug and dive back into the scares.

Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC might find themselves stuck at the loading screen, a frustrating roadblock that semiwork, the game's developer, has yet to address officially. Fortunately, there are several effective methods players can try to resolve this issue and return to the game's eerie atmosphere.

Close and Reopen the Game

The simplest solution often works wonders. Closing and reopening *R.E.P.O.* can help the game resolve any temporary glitches on its own. This straightforward approach frequently resolves loading issues, making it the first step players should take.

Reboot the PC

If a second launch doesn't do the trick, consider giving your PC a fresh start. Rebooting your system can rejuvenate its performance, especially after running demanding games like *R.E.P.O.*. Plus, it offers a brief respite, allowing you to gather your thoughts before facing more frights.

Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator

Granting *R.E.P.O.* full system access by running it as an administrator can smooth out operational hiccups. While it's not a guaranteed fix, it's definitely worth a try. Here’s how to set it up:

• Right-click on the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
• Select Properties and go to the Compatibility tab.
• Check "Run this program as an administrator."

Verify Game Files

Another effective strategy is to verify the integrity of *R.E.P.O.*'s game files through Steam. This process ensures all necessary files are present and in the correct state. Here’s how to do it:

• Restart your PC and open Steam.
• Right-click *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.”

It's worth noting that not all files may verify successfully, but Steam considers this normal. You can safely ignore any messages about unverified files as you work through the loading screen issue.
