If you're among those encountering the stuck loading screen issue in *R.E.P.O.*, don't despair. Here are several methods to resolve this bug, even as the game's developer, semiwork, has yet to address it officially.

Close and Reopen the Game

A simple yet effective first step is to close and reopen *R.E.P.O.*. This action allows the game to reset and often resolves minor glitches. It's a common fix that works more often than you might think, so it's worth trying before moving on to more complex solutions.

Reboot Your PC

If restarting the game doesn't work, the next step is to reboot your PC. This gives your system a fresh start, which can be crucial after running demanding games. A reboot not only clears temporary files but also gives you a brief respite before jumping back into the game's terrifying atmosphere.

Run *R.E.P.O.* as Administrator

Sometimes, running the game with administrative privileges can help. This gives *R.E.P.O.* full access to your system, potentially smoothing out issues related to file permissions. Here’s how you can 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

If the problem persists, verifying the integrity of the game files through Steam can be beneficial. This process checks for any corrupted or missing files and replaces them if necessary. Follow these steps to verify *R.E.P.O.*'s game files:

• 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, and Steam indicates this is normal. You can safely ignore any messages about files not verifying as you work through resolving the loading screen issue.
