I tried to post this on the bug reporting site but no one was responding so I'm putting it here. I can't even play NS2 until I find a solution.
Recently when I try playing, the game freezes on the main menu. Even when joining directly to a server it will freeze on the loading screen. The only way to end the process is to alt+f4. I can't use the task manager because it is hidden behind the frozen game. I tried reinstalling.
This problem only started recently. This is my first time trying to play in the last month.
SOLUTION FOUND.
i had the same issue when i subscribed to all maps on steam workshop. maybe you can unsubscribe there? community->workshop->ns2->click on the the blue "check" in every map that has a grey "check" below them (the blue one should turn into a gray x when hovering the mouse over it).

You could try to start the game in window mode to see other windows popping up.
Then the log (%appdata%/naturalselection2/)
You verified integrity of cache through steam, as well, correct?

Downloading of "Ns2 co_faceoff remake" completed. Installing...
someone suggested to unsubscribe to a map that is causing problems, looks like this faceoff map is doing it. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.
I did verify integrity and no change.
No firewall popups.
Here are my comp specs.
