Game has stopped launching for no reason.

Hey there! As the title says NS2 just doesn't launch anymore out of the blue. As I click play it says, "Preparing to launch NS2" and then nothing. I haven't made any changes to my PC since the last time I've played it to when I tried to play again. I've done a verify of the game cache and checked task manager to see if its running in the background but no dice.

I'm a bit stumped as to what to do next as it doesn't even give me any errors or any signs of evidence as to why it isn't launching. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

    Also, if this helps I just noticed in NS2's properties in Steam it says its disk usage is only 1.5GB while in the common folder NS2 is 3.30GB. Its like NS2 thinks its updated and launches but can't because its not updated.. But it thinks it is..

    Did you try to verify your game cache files?

    Press Win+R, enter %APPDATA% and delete the Natural Selection 2 folder (you will lose your game settings). That's the only thing I can think of that has helped others when they had problems with the game.

    He has tried all of the above, and reinstalling the game.

    Did you mean you clicked to play and have it launch via steam menu?

    Did you try directly opening ns2.exe in steamapps/common/natural selection 2 instead? Doing this should bypass the steam preparing to launch window... If this works, i would lean towards thinking the problem is with steam.

    *Also, it showing ns2 having 1505mb is normal.
  • HeavensmutantHeavensmutant Join Date: 2012-06-04 Member: 152917Members
    Yeah, I have tried directly opening the nd2.exe and nothing. Not even a thought by my computer. I will give Dghelneshi's option a try. I still think it could be Steam saying the disk usage is only 1.2GB's while the actually game is about 3.3GBs.

    This is totally normal. I'm not entirely sure what is causing it, but it's the same for everyone afaik. It also happens with other games.

    I am getting something similar. I have verified my game cache and deleted the NS2 files within %APPDATA%. Despite these attempts, starting the game only produces a black screen and 100% usage on a core for several minutes without anything happening. I have waited for like 10 minutes without any change. I was able to play all previous releases (for the last ~8 months).
  • HeavensmutantHeavensmutant Join Date: 2012-06-04 Member: 152917Members
    Maybe it is this current release? Maybe waiting for the next build could fix it.

    I'm getting something very similar too.
    Except, my game launches and it's a black screen before the main menu. The game doesn't doesn't respond, and will sit there until I kill it with C+T+D
    I can move the mouse cursor around, but it's the working mouse cursor, like this: <a href="http://www.istartedsomething.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/win7_cursor.gif" target="_blank">http://www.istartedsomething.com/wp-conten...win7_cursor.gif</a>

    I've tried re-verifying my game cache, re-installing, deleting my AppData/Roaming/NS2 folder. This started occurring on Build 209, and oddly enough <b>happens on two different computers.</b>

    Please! Any help is appreciated!

    I may have found the cause of this loading issue, The game may be finding hidden desktop.ini files in some folders and is not ignoring them.
    See for example by revealing Hidden Files & Folders on your system you can see a desktop.ini file in ns2/screens - Delete that file and try loading.

    Difficult for us to reproduce not having the issue our selves but if removing these files works then:
    If anyone can find and list any directories where removing that file allows the game to load then that will help a lot, We can then identify which parts of code are trying to load invalid file formats as its not really spitting any errors out for every case.

    Dghelneshi's solution worked! I deleted the Natural Selection 2 folder in AppData and it launched! So my problem has been resolved so thank you to you all for your replies and suggestions.

    I searched for desktop.ini files in ns2 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2) and the NS2 folder under %APPDATA%. However, the game still just hangs. I have also deleted all folders and reinstalled NS2.
