    Try this: go steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\redist\DirectX and run DXSETUP.exe

    Try verifying your steam cache files.

    To fix this problem,

    Go to steamapps/common/natural selection 2/ns2/shaders

    Delete all files begining with GUI

    Right click natural selection in steam and click properties. Click Local files tab, and then Verify Integrity of game cache

    The above fixed (deleting gui files) worked for me. Not sure if there was some sort of issue as I had NS2 installed from the original betas.

    I was getting the same blank screen when launching the game seen below:

    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>
