6 fixes for PUBG stuck on loading screen
- Stop overclocking your CPU
- Update available drivers
- Configure Windows Firewall settings
- Turn off BEServices in Task Manager
- Reconfigure Internet
- Temporarily disable antivirus program
Fix 1: Stop overclocking your CPU
overclocking means setting your CPU and memory to run at speeds higher than their official speed grade. Almost all processors ship with a speed rating. However, this may cause your games stuck on loading or crashing, so you should set your CPU clock speed rate back to default to fix the issue.
Fix 2: Update available drivers
The missing or outdated drivers in your computer can cause the PUBG stuck on loading screen, especially if there’s something wrong with your graphics card driver, so you should verify that the drivers in your computer are up to date, and update those that aren’t.
You can manually download the driver file for your device drivers from manufacturers, then install it in your computer. This requires time and computer skills.
If you don’t have time or patience, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.
Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to be troubled by the wrong driver you would be downloading, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.
You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version, it takes just 2 clicks (and you will get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee).
1) Download and install Driver Easy.
2) Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3) Click the Update button next to the flagged device to automatically download the correct version of the driver (you can do this with the FREE version). Then install the driver in your computer.
Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All).
