Alright, so picture this: you’re all set to try out Homeworld 3 in advance with your preorder early access, ready to command your fleet and conquer the stars. But wait, what’s this? You’re stuck on the loading screen, going nowhere fast. It’s like being in a spaceship with a busted engine—not exactly where you want to be. But don’t fret! You are not the only one facing this issue. Apparently, this has been a reoccurring issue with players right now. So is there any fix for this yet? Keep reading this guide till the end to learn everything you need to know about this issue in Homeworld 3.
When you’re stuck on the loading screen, you will simply not be able to play the game. This is obviously very annoying. Also, don’t forget that the whole point of preordering the game is to have early access to it. With this issue making the game unplayable, the purchase loses all its purpose. What’s worse is that we don’t know what specifically triggers this error. This can happen for a bunch of reasons, like a glitch in the game or something going wonky with your PC. Anyway, there are a bunch of workarounds you can try which we have shared below.
Homeworld 3 Stuck on Loading Screen Issue: Is there any fix yet
Devs Response
Alright, so here’s the deal: Gearbox_CM Noelle, who’s part of the team working on Homeworld 3, responded to a player’s complaint about the loading screen issue. What the developer said is pretty important. They mentioned that the developers have been notified about the problem, which means they’re aware of it and are likely working to fix it. While they are trying to find a solution, they have suggested a workaround that you can try.
Workaround (Update Drivers)
The suggested workaround is for you to make sure the GPU drivers are up-to-date and then try reinstalling the game. Don’t forget that outdated drivers can sometimes lead to graphical issues. So to do this, make your way to the official website of your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD). Here, find the GPU model that is used by your system. If an update is available for that GPU, download and install it. With your GPU drivers up to date, give your PC a restart and see if this fixes the issues.
Check system requirements
The reason Homeworld 3 is getting stuck on the loading screen might be due to your system being too old to handle the game. Here are the game’s minimum system requirements:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit/Windows 11 64-bit
- Processor: Intel i5-6600/AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
- Memory: 12 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060/AMD RX 480/Intel ARC A380
- Storage: 40 GB available space
- Sound Card: OpenAL Compatible Sound Card
If your PC doesn’t meet these requirements, then it is time for you to upgrade it. Otherwise, this issue will continue to occur.
Reinstall
Another workaround that was suggested is to reinstall the game altogether. While this is a drastic one, do give this one a shot if nothing else has been working out for you.
Keep an eye out for an update
Since the game is currently available to players who have preordered it (as of writing this guide), we are sure that the global release will feature an update, fixing any major issues reported by players who have had early access. So, there is a good chance that this issue will be fixed after the game is globally released. Once it does, check if an update is available, and then install it.
Well, we hope that you were able to enjoy your early access perk with the workarounds and the suggestions mentioned in this guide. Anyway, that is all we have to share regarding this issue.
