Fixed the black screen on launch. 1. run dxsetup in drive/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/natural selection 2/redist/directx/ Its about half way down. 2. Delete the files in drive/users/user/appdata/roaming/natural selection 2 **NOTE YOU NEED BE ABLE TO SEE HIDDEN FOLDERS SINCE THIS IS A HIDDEN FOLDER. - On win7 to show hidden folders click on organize>folder and search options>view check "show hidden files, folders and drives under hidden files and folders. 3. Delete the folderC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2\shaders 4. Go on Steam, go to Natural selection 2, right click>properties>local files> verify integrity of cache (this will re-download the files you just deleted, but it will be the correct files this time) Then it will give you a message saying it's done. Then you're all set, good to play NS2.
Edit: I fixed step 3. (for sure this time) <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=122577&st=0#entry2002080" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index....=0#entry2002080</a>
