Mewgenics Stuck On Loading Screen Fix Guide
If Mewgenics gets stuck on the neuron loading screen and never finishes, the issue is usually Windows permissions or fullscreen handling. The most reliable fix right now is changing the executable compatibility settings. Running as administrator alone often is not enough.
This is a common launch issue and it is fixable.
Why The Game Gets Stuck On The Neuron Loading Screen
When the game hangs on the neuron screen and crashes if you click, it usually means:
Windows is blocking proper fullscreen initialization
The game does not have correct permission access
A file conflict occurred after an update
A driver or system setting is interfering
The engine loads, but Windows stops it from completing the display handoff.
The Fix That Works Most Often
This has fixed the issue for a large number of players.
Change Compatibility Settings Properly
Do not just right click and choose Run as Administrator. That does not stick when launching from Steam.
Do this instead:
Open Steam
Right click Mewgenics
Select Manage
Click Browse local files
Find Mewgenics.exe
Right click it and choose Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab
Check Disable fullscreen optimizations
Check Run this program as administrator
Click Apply
Click OK
Now launch the game normally through Steam.
This forces Windows to stop interfering with how the game initializes fullscreen.
If That Did Not Work
If the compatibility fix does not solve it, try these next steps.
Verify Game Files
Right click Mewgenics in Steam
Click Properties
Go to Installed Files
Select Verify integrity
Corrupted files can cause infinite loading.
Reinstall The Game
Some players reported it worked earlier, then stopped working the next day. A full reinstall fixed it.
Uninstall from Steam, then reinstall fresh.
Skip Intro Cutscenes
If the game loads but crashes during intro:
Click to skip the startup sequence quickly
Some users reported this prevents the crash.
Update GPU Drivers
Even though Mewgenics is 2D, outdated drivers can cause OpenGL issues.
Update NVIDIA or AMD drivers
Restart PC after updating
Antivirus Or Security Software Check
If none of the above works:
Add the Mewgenics folder as an exception in Windows Defender
Temporarily disable third party antivirus to test
Sometimes security software blocks the engine from finishing launch.
Final Blurb
If Mewgenics is stuck on the neuron loading screen, the compatibility fix is the first thing to try. Disable fullscreen optimizations and enable Run as administrator directly on the executable. That solves the issue for most players.
If not, verify files, reinstall, and check drivers. The problem is usually Windows interference, not your hardware.
FAQ
Why does clicking the loading screen cause a crash?
When the window stops responding and you click, Windows flags it as frozen and forces a crash.
Does running as administrator from Steam fix it?
Usually no. You need to set it permanently in the executable Properties.
Is this a hardware problem?
In most cases, no. Many players with modern systems have experienced this. It is typically a Windows configuration issue.
