How to fix Spectre Divide bugs

There’s a long old list of problems with the game, but thankfully, most can be fixed quickly. Read on to learn how to fix all the bugs we’ve seen people get affected by and keep a weather eye out for updates from Mountaintop Studios. In the meantime, make sure you have the best PC settings.

How to fix getting stuck on the loading screen in Spectre Divide

This is a common problem for Spectre Divide for several reasons. When the game launches, it has to connect to the servers and check that you have all the necessary files. However, the server can become overloaded. If they’re all too busy or even offline, then Spectre Divide simply will not progress past the loading screen. This can be frustrating, but there are a few things to try.

• Check Spectre Divide’s Discord or X accounts for planned downtime or server problems.
• Press ALT+F4 to force close the game. Now, in Steam, right-click on the game, go to the Manage option, then to Installed Files, and select Verify Integrity of Files.

How to fix the tutorial bug in Spectre Divide

It isn’t actually possible to start playing against other players in Spectre Divide until you have successfully completed the tutorial. However, there is a bug that leaves players eternally stuck playing the tutorial without ever being able to complete it.

This is a problem with the game’s connection to the servers. Check above for the Spectre Divide Discord and X links to see if they have a fix. Their servers are almost certainly overloaded or down. This will cause Spectre Divide to get stuck in the tutorial loop. Your best bet is to simply close the game and wait for some space to open up.

How to fix stuck in the winner screen in Spectre Divide

There is a common bug in Spectre Divide in which winners are stuck on the endgame screen and have no ability to quit. Again, like many of the bugs in the game, this is due to server connections failing to upload and communicate the win. This will result in Spectre Divide getting stuck in the winner screen.

Currently, the only solution is to ALT+F4 out of the game and restart. However, this will result in a cooldown penalty. The team at Spectre Divide is aware of the problem and is working to fix it.

How to fix bad ping in Spectre Divide

Bad ping can be a nightmare, making you whiff your shots way after the opponent has left your reticule. It can cause horrific rubber banding and often make a game completely unplayable. There have been a number of reports of Spectre Divide having excessively high ping, but there is a fix you can try.

• Don’t use WiFi – If possible, use a cabled connection directly from your router to your PC. If you have to use WiFi, make sure there aren’t any serious pieces of electronics between you and the router, such as microwaves, TVs, and others.
• Turn off background programs – If you have programs running that use your network, switch them off. This could even be someone else in your network streaming or downloading simultaneously.
• Turn it off and on again – This age-old trick sometimes works the best. You may be able to fix the ping problem in Spectre Divide by simply turning your router off and on again.
