Content Warning is a popular online co-op horror game that has caught the attention of many players with its unique concept of filming spooky content with friends to gain viral fame on SpöökTube. However, some players have reported encountering a frustrating issue: being stuck in a loading loop screen. If you’re one of those players experiencing this problem, fear not! We’re here to provide you with a solution to fix this issue and get you back to exploring the eerie depths of the Old World with your friends.
Infinite loading screens and loading loops are unfortunately common occurrences in video games, and Content Warning is no exception. These issues can arise due to various factors or bugs within the game. While being stuck in an endless loading loop can be frustrating, there are workarounds that you can try to get back into the game.
Content Warning stuck on loading loop: How to fix it?
First things first, there is no single surefire or official fix for this issue. While the developers are aware of this issue and are currently working on a fix, what we do have are some player-suggested workarounds that have been found to be effective in fixing the issue. So, until an official fix is released, here are the workarounds you should try:
Restarting the System
The first workaround to try is to simply restart the game and your PC itself. Sometimes, technical issues can be resolved by rebooting your PC, which clears temporary caches, resets system processes, and resolves potential conflicts that may be causing the loading screen problem.
Delete Save Files
One workaround reported by players to address infinite loading screens in Content Warning is to delete all saved files located at “C:\Users(user name)\AppData\LocalLow\Landfall Games\Content Warning\Saves” or by deleting the entire “Landfall Games” folder. However, after deleting the game saves, some users encountered difficulties creating new games but were able to join existing ones. It’s advisable to back up any important saved files before attempting this workaround.
Note: If you cannot find the Landfall Games folder in the LocalLow directory, head over to the Local folder.
Deleting and Reinstalling the Game
One workaround for resolving infinite loading screens in Content Warning is to delete the game from your system and then reinstall it. To do this, first, uninstall the game from your system using the appropriate method for your platform (e.g., Steam Library, Control Panel on Windows). After uninstallation, reinstall the game from the source and launch it again to see if the loading screen issue persists.
Changing the installation directory of the game
Another potential workaround involves changing the installation directory of the game. Even if the game is installed in a different local directory than C, it may still have residual files or configurations stored in the default directory (usually “C:”). By relocating the game’s files to a different directory or drive, you can effectively reset its settings and potentially resolve the loading screen issue.
Verifying Game Files
One recommended workaround involves verifying the integrity of the game files through the game platform or launcher. This process checks for any corrupted or missing files within the game installation and automatically replaces or repairs them as needed. To verify game files, access the game platform (e.g., Steam) and navigate to the game’s properties or settings. From there, head over to the Installed Files tab, and select the option to verify the integrity of game files. Once completed, relaunch the game to see if the loading screen issue persists.
