    Looking through my log.txt it was showing mods were still enabled even though i deleted my ns2 appdata folder and unsubed in Steam updated drivers.
    I followed this advice from Ironhorse in another thread:

    1. Go to "mods" menu in NS2 and de activate all mods by clicking on them
    2. Exit NS2 and then delete the whole "Workshop" folder located in your hidden %appdata%/Natural selection 2 folder
    3. Disable Steam Cloud for NS2 only. Right click NS2 > Properties > Updates > Uncheck steam cloud box
    4. Go to \Program Files\Steam\userdata\(YOUR STEAM ID)\4920\remote\options.xml and ensure that the mod section looks like the following: <mods> <active_mods/> </mods>
    5. Now run NS2 and a) see if the problem is fixed b) that your log.txt no longer mentions mods.

    Now my log.txt does not show any mod errors but the game still stays on a blank black screen each time i try to launch.
