The horror gaming scene boasts numerous titles like *Resident Evil* and *Silent Hill*, but *R.E.P.O.* stands out with its unique co-op experience. However, some players have encountered a frustrating issue where the game gets stuck on the loading screen. Here's how you can tackle the *R.E.P.O.* loading screen bug and get back to the scares.

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

Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC often find themselves stuck at the loading screen, unable to dive into the game's eerie world. While the developer, semiwork, hasn't yet addressed this issue, there are several effective methods you can try to resolve it.

Close and Reopen the Game

A simple yet effective solution for many gaming issues is to close and reopen the game. This allows *R.E.P.O.* to refresh and potentially resolve the loading screen problem on its own. It's a quick fix that often works, so it should be your first step.

Reboot the PC

If restarting the game doesn't work, consider rebooting your PC. A fresh start can help clear any lingering issues that might be causing the game to get stuck. It also gives you a brief moment to regroup before jumping back into the game's chilling atmosphere.

Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator

Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can help the game run more smoothly by granting it full access to your system. While not a guaranteed fix, 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 for "Run this program as an administrator."

Verify Game Files

Another solution is to verify the integrity of *R.E.P.O.*'s game files through Steam. This process ensures that all files are correctly installed and up to date. Here's how to do it:

• 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 dropdown menu.
• Go to the Installed Files tab and click "Verify integrity of game files."

Remember, it's normal for some files not to verify during this process. Steam will notify you, but you can safely ignore these messages as they typically don't impact gameplay.

With these steps, you should be able to fix the *R.E.P.O.* stuck on loading screen bug and continue your thrilling co-op adventure. For more on *R.E.P.O.*, check out guides on all the monsters and how to escape them.
