<div class="IPBDescription">...and other stuff.</div> Every other mod works just fine and I already tried reinstalling NS and a bunch of different video drivers (very old to the newest).

Here's exactly what's happening:

Here you can see the blacked out experience bar and also you can barely see the server name since it's also in black.

The commander interface is unusable. Everything is almost black.

I'd be thankfull if anyone can help me in any way regarding this issue.

    the game is not dark
    only the command console and other interface elements, as shown on the pictures
    as far as i remember, it didn't happen when i played ns2.0 but then i stopped playing... i think it's something related with steam because back then there was no steam (at least, i didn't use it)

    The green text issue was put down to dual monitor support on a GFX card.

    Would be helpful if you told us your system specs?

    ALL of these problems (black command interface, black alien hud, green text) were originaly discovered (and fixed) with dual moniters.
    If you have a card that suports dual moniters makesure the second out put is disabled (even if it isn't in use)

    HOWEVER
    There is atleast one other thing that causes this, and no one has been able to find a soloution to it yet. (or if they have they are bast'ds and haven't posted it)

    The alien and marine popup menus are working perfectly, they're not dark.
    My graphics card is a GeForce4 MX440se, it supports dual monitors (well, actually, a monitor and a tv, or something that uses that svideo out) and I already checked this before posting and it is disabled.
    Also, I'm using Windows 2003 Standard (someone on other board said this might be the issue)

    not the popupmenu

    the alien Hud (hives etc) and the comander menu.

    we don't have a soloution aside from making sure that the second moniter is diabled.

    well try going into the game settings and have a fix in there (play around for a bit)Nearly ever card has an svideo out!

    Er.... Maybe you have set it to run on a low system spec in the settings. Like 1024x with only 16bit colur.? This might help but im not really good with this stuff.

    Regards
    George
