2. Increase Virtual RAM

Virtual memory combines your RAM with temporary space on your hard disk. If you’re running out of RAM and the default size of your virtual memory isn’t large enough for your needs, you’ll need to increase it manually.

Steps:

• Press Win + S, type Advanced System Settings, and press Enter.

• In the Performance section, click Settings > Advanced > Change.

• Uncheck “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.”

• Select the system drive (usually C:) and choose Custom size.

• Set both Initial and Maximum size to 4096 MB or more.

• Click Set > OK, then restart your computer.

Tip: Ideally, virtual memory should be 1.5x to 3x your actual RAM size.

3. Reseat Your RAM and Storage Drives

Hardware misplacement can also cause loading issues.

• Power off your PC and unplug it.

• Open your case and carefully remove the RAM and storage (SSD/HDD).

• Clean the slots gently with compressed air.

• Reinsert components firmly.

• Reboot your system and try launching the game again.

4. Update GPU Drivers

If you haven’t updated your graphics driver on Windows, install the latest patch version by following the steps below:

• Press the Windows + X keys to open the Quick Link Menu.
• Now, click on Device Manager from the list > Double-click on Display adapters.
• Right-click on the dedicated graphics card that you’re using.

• Next, select Update driver > Choose to Search automatically for drivers.
• If an update is available, the system will automatically download & install it.
• Once done, restart the computer to apply changes immediately.

5. Close Unnecessary Background Tasks

One way to optimize your PC’s performance is to close unnecessary background tasks, preventing additional resource usage. To clear out these tasks:

• Press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys to open Task Manager.
• Click on the Processes tab > Select the task you want to close.

• Once selected, click on End Task. Make sure to do the steps for each task individually.
• Once done, restart your computer to change effects immediately.

6. Update inZOI

If you haven’t recently updated your inZOI game, follow these steps to check for updates and install the latest patch (if available).

• Open the Steam client > Go to Library > Click inZOI from the left pane.
• It’ll automatically search for the available update. If an update is available, make sure to click on Update.
• It may take some time to install the update > close the Steam client.
• Finally, reboot your PC to apply changes, and then try relaunching the game.

7. Check for Windows Updates

Over time, your Windows operating system build may become outdated or corrupted, which can lead to performance issues or security vulnerabilities. If you suspect that your Windows system needs an update, you can check for any available updates using the following steps. Installing the latest updates can ensure that your system has the latest bug fixes and improvements. Here are the steps to check for and install Windows updates:

• Press the Windows + I keys to open up the Windows Settings menu.
• Next, click on Update & Security > Select Check for updates under the Windows Update section.

• If there is a feature update available, select Download and install.
• Wait for some time until the update gets completed.
• Finally, reboot your PC to apply changes immediately.

8. Try Disabling Overlay Apps

Certain popular apps appear to have their own overlay program that can run in the background and cause problems with gaming performance or even cause launching issues. To resolve this, you should turn off these programs by following the steps below:

Disable the following:

Discord Overlay:

• Open Discord > User Settings > Game Overlay.

• Toggle off “Enable in-game overlay.”

Xbox Game Bar:

• Go to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar.

• Turn off the overlay toggle.

NVIDIA GeForce Overlay:

• Open GeForce Experience > Settings.

• Turn off “In-Game Overlay” under the General tab.

Other overlays like MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner, or RGB tools should also be disabled if active.

Also, remember to always disable other overlay apps, such as MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner, RGB software, or any other third-party overlay apps that run in the background.

9. Perform a Clean Boot

Some apps and their services may start automatically while booting the system immediately. Those apps or services will use many internet connections and system resources in that case. If you also feel the same, perform a clean boot on your computer to check for the issue. To do that:

• Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
• Now, type MSConfig and hit Enter to open System Configuration.
• Go to the Services tab > Enable the Hide all Microsoft services checkbox.

• Click on Disable all > Click on Apply and then OK to save changes.
• Now, go to the Startup tab > Click on Open Task Manager.
• The Task Manager interface will open. Here go to the Startup tab.
• Then click on the particular task that has a higher startup impact.
• Once selected, click Disable to turn them off from the startup process.
• Do the same steps for each program that has a higher startup impact.
• Once done, make sure to restart your computer to apply changes.

10. Verify Game Files

If the game files are corrupted or missing and there is an issue, make sure to perform this method to easily check for the issue.

• Launch Steam > Click on Library.
• Right-click on inZOI from the list of installed games.
• Now, click on Properties > Go to Local Files.

• Click on Verify Integrity of Game Files.
• You’ll have to wait for the process until it gets completed.
• Once done, restart your computer.

Final Thoughts

Being stuck on a loading screen can take the fun out of any game—especially something as exciting as inZOI. Luckily, most of these issues are easily fixable with the right steps. By checking your system requirements, keeping your drivers and game updated, disabling overlays, and verifying game files, you can usually resolve the issue without too much hassle.

If you’ve tried everything and are still facing problems, it may be worth waiting for a patch or contacting Krafton’s support team. Since inZOI is still in early access, ongoing improvements are expected.
