Before troubleshooting further, it’s important to confirm that Delta Force Hawk Ops servers are functioning properly. Server issues, especially during the Alpha test phase, may cause the game to get stuck at loading screens. You can check the game’s official Twitter (X) page or their Discord channel for any server status updates. Additionally, unstable network connections can contribute to loading problems. Here’s what you can do:
Check your internet connection: Ensure you have a stable connection by restarting your router or switching to a wired connection if possible.Run a speed test: Verify that your internet speed meets the game’s requirements.Restart your router: Sometimes a simple router restart can resolve connection issues that might be affecting the game.
If the servers are online and your connection is stable, proceed to the next steps to resolve any local issues.
1. Verify Game File Integrity
Loading issues are often caused by corruption in the game files. By verifying the game files, you ensure corrupted files are removed or replaced with fresh ones.
2. Free Up System Resources
If you run too many background tasks while playing the game, you need to free up system resources by closing unnecessary programs to free up memory and CPU power. This will allow the game to access more resources, reducing loading time and improving overall performance.
3. Disable In-Game Overlays
Overlay features can crash games due to their resource usage. Additionally, they sometimes conflict with the game’s engine, causing crashes or freezes. Follow these steps to disable overlays from applications like Discord, Steam, or GeForce Experience. Since the Steam overlay often causes this issue, we’ll focus on disabling the Steam overlay. If you have overlay features enabled on other applications like Discord or GeForce Experience, disable them there as well.
4. Reinstall on SSD (If Installed on External Drive)
Reinstalling the game on an SSD can resolve loading issues, as SSDs offer faster read/write processes and transfer speeds. This reduces the chances of the game getting stuck on the loading screen.
