The chilling world of *R.E.P.O.* offers a unique horror experience unlike *Resident Evil* or *Silent Hill*. However, some players are encountering a frustrating issue: getting stuck on the loading screen. This guide outlines several solutions to get you back into the terrifying action.
PC players launching *R.E.P.O.* may find themselves trapped on the loading screen, preventing gameplay. While developer semiwork hasn't yet addressed this, several troubleshooting steps can often resolve the problem.
Simple Fixes: Close and Reboot
The first step is often the simplest: close and reopen *R.E.P.O.*. This allows the game to clear any minor glitches. If that fails, rebooting your PC provides a clean slate for the game to launch. This also offers a brief respite from the game's intense atmosphere!
Run as Administrator
Granting *R.E.P.O.* administrator privileges can resolve permission-related issues. To do this:
- Right-click the *R.E.P.O.* shortcut.
- Select Properties, then navigate to the Compatibility tab.
- Check "Run this program as an administrator."
Verify Game Files (Steam)
If the problem persists, verifying your game files through Steam can identify and replace corrupted files. Here's how:
- Restart your PC and open Steam.
- Right-click *R.E.P.O.* in your Steam Library (or click the gear icon).
- Select Properties, then go to the Local Files tab.
- Click "Verify integrity of game files."
Note: Steam may report some files failing verification; this is often normal and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem.
