Nexon Games’ free-to-play looter-shooter, The First Descendant, has launched across all platforms but not without its share of launch day issues. 

Like most live-service game releases, The First Descendant is plagued with network errors and other technical issues. There’s one where you get stuck in the loading screen forever without any explanation.

As of this writing, there’s no concrete way to fix the stuck on loading screen error in The First Descendant. 

While this is unfortunate, Nexon Games has publically acknowledged the issue and is working to identify the problem and deploy a fix. 

As suggested by Nexon Games, this seems like a server-side issue and not something from your side. Still, it’s always best to check for game updates and restart your router just to be on the safe side.
