Note: It’s always better to increase the virtual memory three times higher than the current RAM size. [1GB=1024MB]

• Click on Set and then OK to save changes.
• Restart your computer and your game.

3. Properly Place the Storage and RAM in the slot

It’s also recommended to remove the side panel of the CPU cabinet on your PC and then unplug the HDD/SSD & RAM component from the slot. Gently clean the slot, and the component, then place them properly again to check if MultiVersus stuck on the loading screen issue has been fixed or not.
