Probably not the only cause of black screens in NS2, but I got one after updating to B162. Deleting and reinstalling NS2 didn't fix it. Finally figured out it was because I had "-game minimap" in the launch options from running Onos Ate Me's <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=112425" target="_blank">minimap mod</a> in B161. Removed it, and the game ran fine.
I figured that I should post this in the modding section because it seems related to running pre-B162 mods in B162 via the launch options. Is anyone else having this problem?

I've solved this by merging the main NS2 changes with my mod each time they do a release (using Git this is very easy). You basically need to update the mod release each time the file it is based on changes. No way around it.
