Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC might find themselves stuck at the loading screen, unable to dive into the game. While the developer, semiwork, has yet to address this issue directly, there are several effective methods players can try to get back into the action.

Close and Reopen the Game

The simplest and often most effective solution is to close *R.E.P.O.* and reopen it. This allows the game to reset any temporary glitches, and it's a quick fix that works more often than you might think. It's the first step every gamer should take when facing loading issues.

Reboot the PC

If restarting the game doesn't solve the problem, consider rebooting your PC. A fresh start can clear out any background processes that might be interfering with *R.E.P.O.*. Plus, it gives you a brief respite from the scares, which can be refreshing before jumping back into the game.

Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator

Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can sometimes resolve loading issues by granting the game full access to system resources. 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 next to "Run this program as an administrator."

Verify Game Files

If the above steps don't work, verifying the integrity of game files through Steam can help. This ensures all files are present and correct, which might resolve the loading screen issue. Here's how to verify game files on Steam:

  1. Restart your PC and open Steam.
  2. Right-click on *R.E.P.O.* in your Steam Library or click the gear icon on its Library page.
  3. Select Properties from the drop-down menu.
  4. Go to the Installed Files tab and click "Verify integrity of game files."

It's normal if not all files verify during this process. Steam indicates that it's part of the routine, and any messages about unverified files can be safely ignored as you focus on fixing the loading screen bug.

With these steps, you should be able to overcome the *R.E.P.O.* stuck on loading screen bug and continue your horror-filled journey. For more on *R.E.P.O.*, explore our guides on the game's monsters and escape strategies.
