1. Check-out System Requirements

Check out the system requirements before jumping to any conclusion whatsoever. If, in case, your computer configuration isn’t compatible enough, then you may find issues with the game launching and gameplay.

Minimum System Requirements:

  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel i5-4690 / AMD FX 4350

  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB / AMD RX580

  1. 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.

  • Press the Windows logo key on the keyboard and type advanced system settings.
  • Click on View advanced system settings.

  • Uncheck the box next to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
  • Select your C: drive [Where you’ve installed Windows] > Click the Options button next to the Custom size and type 4096 in the text box of the Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB).

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 the King Arthur Knight’s Tale stuck on the loading screen issue has been fixed or not.
