As Star Citizen continues to grow and evolve, several annoying bugs have started to occur. Some players have recently had trouble actually getting into the game due to a bug that causes Star Citizen to get stuck loading forever. These are several solutions that have been confirmed to fix the Star Citizen stuck loading forever bug that can occur.
Star Citizen loading forever fixes
There appear to be three separate issues that can trigger the Star Citizen stuck loading forever issue or infinite loading screen bug. First, is some sort of connection issue, either on your end or with the Star Citizen servers. Second, is the inability to properly load data from your storage device. And third, is a specific isolated issue that can occur if your character gets stuck in a persistent “in-between” state of being logged in and out. Here are all the ways you can fix when you get stuck loading forever in Star Citizen:
- If you installed Star Citizen on an HDD, try reinstalling it on an SSD. There have been some issues getting the game to load properly when using an HDD.
- Verify there are no current server issues. When certain servers are offline you can get stuck loading infinitely due to being not able to connect.
- Make sure you have a stable connection. Run a Speed Test to confirm your internet is working properly. If it is not, contact your ISP. If you are using a wireless connection, try switching to a wired one as it can yield much better results.
- Enter the Arena Command module, play a single game, and then try going back to the Persistent Universe. You can do this from the main menu screen, and it will sometimes refresh your character status in the PU.
In the event you’re able to get to the main menu screen before the issue occurs, hit your Tilda (~) Key and type r_displayinfo 2 in the console, and hit Enter. Look for the Entities field in the top right and check if the number beside is increasing or staying the same. If it is increasing, it means your game is still loading, although it may be slower than usual. If the number stays the same for an extended period time, it means you will not load and are safe to close Star Citizen as it will not load without fixing the issue.
