crashes in loading screen all the time in Cache and after i did this

Run dxsetup in drive\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\redist\directx\
Delete the folder drive\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2\shaders
Press the Windows key and R (Win+R) and type %APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2 then press enter.
Delete all the files in this folder
Verify the Integrity of the NS2 Game Cache:
In Steam, go to the Natural Selection 2 menu option, Right-click>Properties>Local Files>Verify Integrity of Cache
(this will re-download the files you deleted, but it will be the correct files this time)
If all else fails, delete local files and reinstall the game.

it even crashes in shades i run win 32
i did install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)
i did install dirext
i did re install the game 2 times cant play it
