In the world of horror gaming, titles like *Resident Evil* and *Silent Hill* have set the bar high. Yet, *R.E.P.O.* brings a unique co-op experience that stands out. However, some players are facing a frustrating issue where the game gets stuck on the loading screen. Here’s how you can resolve the *R.E.P.O.* loading screen bug and dive back into the spine-chilling gameplay.

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

Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC are encountering a frustrating issue where the game becomes stuck on the loading screen, preventing gameplay. While the game's developer, semiwork, has yet to address this problem directly, there are several effective methods players can try to resolve the issue.

Close and Reopen the Game

The simplest and often most effective solution is to close and reopen *R.E.P.O.*. This allows the game to reset and potentially resolve the loading screen issue on its own. It's a quick fix that works more often than you might think, so it should be your first step.

Reboot Your PC

If relaunching the game doesn't work, the next step is to reboot your PC. This gives your system a fresh start, which can help clear up any underlying issues that might be causing the game to hang on the loading screen. Plus, it gives you a moment to regroup before jumping back into the terrifying world of *R.E.P.O.*.

Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator

Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can sometimes resolve the loading screen bug by granting the game full access to your system's 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 that says “Run this program as an administrator.”

Verify Game Files

Another effective way to tackle the loading screen issue is by verifying the integrity of the game files through Steam. This ensures all game files are intact and up to date. Here’s the process:

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

Keep in mind that it's normal for some files not to verify, and you can safely ignore any related messages 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 issue and continue your terrifying journey. For more tips, check out how to deal with the monsters in the game and strategies to escape them.
