Players launching *R.E.P.O.* on PC are facing a common issue where the game remains stuck on the loading screen, preventing them from diving into the horror.

Run R.E.P.O. as Administrator

Running *R.E.P.O.* with administrator privileges can sometimes resolve loading issues by granting the game full access to your system's resources. While it's not guaranteed to fix the problem, it's worth a try. 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 loading screen 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.

It's worth noting that not all files may verify successfully, but Steam indicates this is normal. Players can safely ignore any messages about files not verifying and focus on resolving the loading screen issue.
