How to Fix ‘Stuck on Loading Screen’ Issue in Darkest Dungeon 2
Delete the Last Save File
Sometimes a corrupted save file can cause a series of issues in-game. The game might not be able to load the resources required for the progression which in turn can result in players getting stuck on a Loading Screen. Darkest Dungeon 2 autosaves all the game progress so in order to fix this issue you might have to delete the last save file.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can delete the saved file from the folder:
- To do this you will have to open the Run Command Prompt by hitting Win + R.
- Here, you can type in %appdata% which would open the AppData folder.
- In AppData select LocalLow and click on the Red Hook folder.
- Select Darkest Dungeon 2 and then head toward the save files folder.
- Here you can delete the last saved file which would be denoted by the highest number.
(Note: Before deleting the saved file we would suggest backing it up in another folder for safe progression)
Check Firewall Settings
You can try fixing the infinite loading screen issue in Darkest Dungeon 2 by checking the firewall settings of your system. Sometimes firewall can quarantine some of the important files required for the game to load and operate resulting in the game not running properly. You can go through the quarantine files in the firewall by following these steps
- Simply head search and head towards windows defender.
- Here, click on the virus & threat protection and select protection history.
- Here you can find the quarantined files for Darkest Dungeon 2 and restore them.
Verify the Integrity of the Files
