Natural Selection 2 Fatal Error HELP

zemusgan

Hey guys, when I first played natural selection 2 it worked fine for about 5 minutes. Then I changed my screen resolution to 1280x1024 and it started to hang, coming out with a fatal error. When I changed it back to the original resolution, it still black screened and hanged whenever the precaching is done and i join the room. This fatal error is regarding the log.txt and minidump thingy. When i press the details for the log.txt this shows up in notepad

Alright this method worked and i could play but if i were to change the resolution back to 1024x1280, it has the same fatal error, so i'm playing at the standard resolution right now. Thanks for the help, at least i could play ns 2 now! hopefully this error can be resolved =)
