Endless loading screen
How do I fix this problem of endlessly loading in when booting up the game?

Are you sure it's not frozen? If so restart PC

That didn't solve the problem either, I'm just gonna re-install and hope it works

Before you launch the game, press Ctrl , Shift, Esc .

Once task manager is open, click 'Options' at the top left.

Check the first option that says 'Always on top'.

Close Task Manager.

Launch the game - it will likely freeze, as usual, but now -

Once frozen, press Ctrl, Shift, Esc again.

Task manager should now be showing.

Choose Fallout 76 from the top of the list, and select 'End Task' bottom right.

Once the games closed, close Task Manager and relaunch the game.

If freezes again, just do it again.

Mine has done this ever since I got the game years ago. It's not a fix, more of a 'work around'. But 9 times out of 10, the game launches on the second try, very occasionally on the third attempt.

Good luck!

It's not that it freezes but rather it just doesn't stop loading. I've uninstalled, reset my pc 2 times and nothing works

Hi, I have the same Problem, it starts normaly, but in the login screen it is an endless loading.

Wait for the "press any button" text and then wait another 30 seconds or so.

Then try to log in.

I never had this problem, but from what I observed on my wife's computer, this happens when you log in "too fast" and the rest of the game isn't properly loaded into cache or something. Being a tiny bit patient before hitting that key seems to anecdotally help.

If it's a different problem you guys have, sorry no idea.

After the press any button screen comes the never ending loading screen

A short video

this is the point of endless loading

I found that if I don't press anything and let the opening video play through past the swamp beast, my game won't freeze.
