Here is what I see when I open the game. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

the weird thing is, iam running a 7800 gs too. does ur game start in fullscreen? according to the screens i guess not.
did u update physx? helped me to get rid of that screen and actually show the menu.
i hope someone knows more
7800GS are some of the first generation GeForce 7s video cards IIRC. Might be worth changing the thread title to "Graphic Issues, GeForce 7 series" to see if others get this problem.
Hopefully it'll be nice and consistent to either the 7800 range, or the 7xxx Range, or the whole GeForce DirectX 9.0c range (GeForce 6 and 7)
Need to find others with this problem. Or find others that have the same set of video cards who do not have this problem :)

I've got a 9800 GTX+
The font is all screwed up ingame.
I'm going to try and install the latest 258.96 nvidia drivers and see if that works.
no one has any ideas what might be causing this?
please PLEASE send your stuff into the feedback forum tho
the more info the better
this is the kind of stuff the alpha was made for :)

chb i had the same issue with my 8800 GT
its something some people suffer when trying to use full screen
i went through the following steps to get as close to the best play i can full screen
1) open windows explorer
2) enter %APPDATA% into the navigation box
3) Go to Natural Selection 2 Folder
4) Opened "options" with notepad
5) Set <fullscreen>false</fullscreen>
6) Set <y-resolution>1050</y-resolution>
7) Set <x-resolution>1680</x-resolution>
8) Saved and closed
Obviously the 1680*1050 is my native primatry display resolution
change those values to match your own.
ive seen some of the great replies UW have made to feedback and there looks to be some good fixes coming :)
If it helps, the first thing I did when I ran the game for the first time was change the game to my monitor's native resolution (which is the same as my desktop resolution) and then switch to fullscreen.
it is completely feasible that in combination with his overall system it can contribute to bad lag
would however recommend sirus ensures drivers are also 100% up to date.
i may be mistaken but i believe it's been confirmed that the game sucks up way too much RAM from video cards
So yeah.
Especially if they're still aiming for the Min Reqs posted on the site, they have a ways to go in optimizations.
Not much you can do if everything doesn't work at minimum settings except wait for a patch.
