<div class="IPBDescription">after reinstalling windows</div>I just reformatted my computer and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 (64 bit). I tried to load NS2 afterwards and it only let me choose a maximum resolution of 1768x992 as opposed to 1920x1080. Also, it freezes the computer when I try to use the menumod. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

I haven't done a lot to debug the issue, but not exactly sure what else to do (apart from reinstall windows again, which I probably will end up doing). I rolled back the NVIDIA graphics card drivers, tried it again, same issue. Then tried reinstalling (first time I did a "clean install", second time I didnt), and got the same issue again. I tried uninstalling NS2, and downloading it again (in case the problem was associated with migrating steamapps across), and still got the same issue.

I realize there's probably not a lot anybody can do, but if anyone can help that would be awesome. I haven't tried many other games to see if they run properly (don't really play any other games at the moment). I did test out Team Fortress 2 and it worked fine at 1920x1080 resolution.

    Try setting your res in the options.xml file.

    You can find it in your Appdata folder (\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2)
    Easiest way to find the appdata folder is to type %appdata% in the Win 7 search.
