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: the game getting stuck on the loading screen. Let's dive into several solutions to get you back into the terrifying action.

This issue, impacting PC players, prevents them from experiencing the game's unsettling atmosphere. While developer semiwork hasn't yet released a patch, several troubleshooting steps can often resolve the problem.

Simple Fixes: Restart and Reboot

Before diving into more complex solutions, try these basic steps:

1. Close and Reopen the Game: Sometimes, a simple restart is all it takes. Close *R.E.P.O.* completely and relaunch it. This often clears minor glitches.
2. Reboot Your PC: If restarting the game doesn't work, a full system reboot can resolve underlying software conflicts that might be causing the loading screen freeze. This gives your PC a fresh start and can often resolve resource issues.

Advanced Troubleshooting

If the simple restarts fail, let's try these more advanced methods:

1. Run as Administrator: Granting *R.E.P.O.* administrator privileges can sometimes resolve permission issues. Right-click the game's shortcut, select "Properties," navigate to the "Compatibility" tab, and check "Run this program as an administrator."
2. Verify Game Files (Steam): If you purchased *R.E.P.O.* through Steam, verifying the game's files can detect and repair corrupted or missing files. Open your Steam library, right-click *R.E.P.O.*, select "Properties," go to the "Local Files" tab, and click "Verify integrity of game files." Don't worry if a few files fail to verify; this is sometimes normal.

These steps should help resolve the *R.E.P.O.* loading screen issue. For more *R.E.P.O.* content, check out our guides on monsters and escape strategies.
