Ns2.exe stopped working since build 206

Gorf007

Cannot launch from steam since build 206. I reinstalled and verified cache with no results. Have not made any changes on my side either. Any ideas I'd really like to try out new build thanks!

game always run from steam game menu.
backup was run by just clicking on it,

I am using an admin account in W7 64bit. i5 2500K, 8GB ram, nvidia 560ti SLI

I'm not sure if Steam also deletes the %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\ folder when you remove the game. You could try to delete that folder on your own, maybe something is wrong there with the settings or the shader cache. The folder gets automatically recreated next time you start the game.

firepower

I delete via steam and then manually deleted everything left behind except for extra maps download, eg turtle etc.
I try deleting appdata/NS2 folder. good call.

*** THAT FIXED IT****

deleting C:\Users\?????\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2

now it works :D thanks , your a champion , see you online :)

THANK YOU Hackepeter

The errors that DooM-AU posted are caused by the menu mod which is incompatible with Build 206. You'll need to grab a new version which has fixed the issue (or remove that mod).
