Graveyard Keeper 2 Infinite Loading Screen

A save that never finishes loading was traced to a conveyor exception and fixed in 1.008 on 2 October 2026. 1.009 then fixed a separate crash while loading.

What the changelog says

BuildFix
1.008 · 2 Oct 2026“Fixed loading a save getting stuck on an infinite load screen (conveyor-related exception)”
1.009 · 6 Oct 2026“Fixed a crash that could happen while loading a save”

What to do

  1. Update to the current build — both fixes are load-path patches, so they apply the next time you load.
  2. If one specific save still will not load on 1.008 or newer, try the save before it: the exception was tied to conveyor state, so an earlier save usually loads.
  3. Report it with the in-game button (1.006+) and mention that it is a load-time hang, not a gameplay softlock.

Not the same as a slow first launch

A first launch after an update can take noticeably longer while shaders compile. This page is about a save load that never completes at all; the changelog entries above are the only official loading fixes.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about this topic.

Why does my save hang on the loading screen?

A conveyor-related exception could stop a save from loading; that was fixed in 1.008, with another load crash fixed in 1.009.

Is my save corrupted?

Not necessarily. The fix targets the load path, so updating and trying the previous save is the practical test.
