ARC Raiders stuck on the hallway screen after a raid (fix)
After a raid ends you land on a loading screen showing a long hallway that never ends, and the game can't connect you back to the lobby.
Also appears as: arc raiders stuck after raid, arc raiders endless hallway, arc raiders stuck on loading screen after raid, arc raiders infinite loading after raid, arc raiders can't connect to lobby after raid, arc raiders end of round infinite loop
This is a post-raid loading loop. A Reddit thread from 15 Sep 2026 (58 upvotes, 97 comments) describes it as "stuck in a long hallway that doesn't seem to ever end" and "I can't even connect to servers", and players said it also happens on PS5.
The next day Embark's Hotfix 1.46.1 said it "should address the end-of-round infinite looping issue." Embark didn't link that note to the hallway thread, so whether it is the same bug is our inference.
No problems reported in the last 15 minutes.
Is ARC Raiders down right now? Live reports →What to try
- 01Reported
Update ARC Raiders to hotfix 1.46.1 or later
Make sure the game is on Hotfix 1.46.1 (16 Sep 2026) or later. Embark's note says it "should address the end-of-round infinite looping issue" with no restart required. It doesn't mention the hallway screen by name, so treat it as the likely fix, not a guarantee.

Close and restart the game, then reconnect
If you are still stuck, close the game and relaunch it. Players in the Reddit thread said they had to do this after every lobby and that loot was generally kept. That is player advice, not an Embark statement. One player in a November 2025 Steam thread also closed the game with Alt+F4 on the post-raid screen and found their loot intact.

Still stuck after 1.46.1: no confirmed fix yet
We found no Embark statement on this after 1.46.1. The Reddit thread's workaround poster later said "the issue is fixed now", with no official confirmation. A Steam post from 27 Sep 2026 describes an infinite loading screen after an update, but it has two replies and no fix.
