Being an online multiplayer, Phasmophobia often faces some or the other server issues. One such issue plaguing the players for a long time is the game getting stuck at 90% loading time. There are several solutions to resolve the error ranging from restarting your PC to tweaking the boot file in the game's directory.

Here is a list of all the working fixes/solutions for the error at hand. 

Administrator Mode 

The most common fix for the error is to run the game with Administrator privilege. To do this, open your game directory and give the file phasmophobia.exe to run with all admin Privileges.   

Verify Steam Integrity

Sometimes a missing file can be the leading cause of the issue, so please check the integrity of the game file through steam before launching the game.

Changing Values in Boot File

Tweaking values concerning VR in the boot file can resolve the issue if you are not playing with a VR set. To change values, follow below.

  • Open the "Phasmophobia_Data" folder.
  • Find the "boot" file and open it with the help of a Text editor like Notepad.
  • Browse and locate the "vr-enabled = 1" line and change it to "vr-enabled = 0" 
  • Save the text file and relaunch the game.

Deleting Your Save Data

Deleting your saved data can solve the Phasmophobia 90% loading error, as stated by this Reddit post. But remember implementing this solution will delete all of your previously saved configuration, settings, and other preferences. To do this, delete the SaveData.txt in the C:/Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Kinetic Games/Phasmophobia directory.

Updating Game Drivers

Make sure your graphic drivers are up to date. The game has a history of causing trouble to boot up if not paired with the latest graphic drivers.

Restarting Your PC

Last but not least, the good old method of restarting your PC & relaunching the game may resolve the error.

Ideally, one of the solutions should fix the issue, but if you still face the error, you can always interact with the Phasmophobia Developers on their official discord channel to find a custom-tailored solution for yourself.
