Meet Your Maker Stuck On Loading Screen [Easy Fix]
How to Meet Your Maker? Let's get past the loading screen first 😁
Meet your Maker is a refreshing concept reminiscent of the strange symbiosis of Mad Max and the more recent DOOM games. The game is brutal, fast, and fun, but since it is new, there may be unexpected problems when starting or freezing, stuttering, and crashing during the game. One of the frustrating issues is when the game gets stuck on the loading screen. We know you’re eager to enjoy this game with your friends, so we’ve prepared a quick fix.
Why is Meet Your Maker stuck on the loading screen?
Meet Your Maker is a new game, so it can be expected that there will be some bugs that won’t be fully resolved until a few patches are released. Until then, let’s tackle the reasons why a game can get stuck on the loading screen:
- PC incompatibility with recommended system requirements
- Outdated GPU driver
- Corrupted game files
- Windows isn’t updated
- Unnecessary apps running in the background
- Windows firewall and antivirus are not set correctly.

Once you have completed all the steps above and found that you still have the problem, do the following:

2. Verify and repair game files
If your GPU drivers are up to date, there is a possibility that one or more game files are missing or corrupted, which can cause the game to get stuck on the loading screen. We recommend verifying the game files as follows:

If you are using a third-party antivirus, be sure to disable it temporarily. However, don’t forget to turn your firewall and antivirus back on when you’re done checking for in-game issues.

Some programs can interfere with starting the game, so we advise you to do a clean boot as follows:
1. Press the Windows+R keys on the keyboard to show the Run dialog.
