Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC often face an issue where the game becomes stuck on the loading screen, preventing them from diving into the game's eerie world. While the game's developer, semiwork, has yet to officially address this problem, there are several effective methods players can use to fix this bug.
Close and Reopen the Game
A simple yet effective solution, closing and reopening *R.E.P.O.* can resolve many in-game issues. This method often works because it allows the game to restart and potentially clear any temporary glitches. It's the first step every gamer should take when encountering a loading screen bug.
Reboot the 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 resolve underlying issues that may be causing the game to freeze. It's a good opportunity to take a brief break and return refreshed to tackle the game's challenges.

Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator
Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can enhance its performance by granting it full access to your system's resources. While not guaranteed to fix the loading screen issue, it's worth trying. 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 method to address the stuck on loading screen bug is to verify the integrity of the game files through Steam. This process ensures that all necessary files are present and correctly installed. Here’s how to verify game files on Steam:
- 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.”
It's worth noting that not all files may verify successfully, which Steam indicates is a normal part of the process. Players can safely ignore any messages about files not verifying and focus on resolving the loading screen issue.
