    Verify Steam cache. Disable all mods. Delete shader cache from AppData/Roaming/Natural Selection 2.

    If none of those work, delete and re-download.

    Just had a similar error, try setting your desktop resolution to what you play with in-game.

    Yeah this seemed to fix it actually. I just deleted and reinstalled and was still getting the error. Changed resolution and worked. Bad thing is that my desktop resolution is 2560 x 1440. I dont want to have to keep changing this to play NS2. Please fix devs.

    Unplugged my additional main monitor (hdtv) and it loaded right up on my laptop's screen.

    Attempting to return to the game (alt + tab) after previous post immediately gave that error again. :'<

    No alt-tab allowed is a "feature" now? /sarcasm

    you don't need to change your native desktop resolution as long as you play in windowed or borderless windowed

    I would like to know your in game resolution, your windows desktop resolution and your graphics card brand.



    I'm running a dual - screen nVidia Geforce 420m set up. NS2 does not appear to run with an extended desktop set up.

    If I simply output the same video to both screens at the same resolution as I have NS2 set to, it works on both screens.

    No matter how I have it setup, Alt-Tab kills the game.

    Moved to tech support for future referencing.

    Until that sneaky alt tab crash is fixed for the 20th time (i swear nothing breaks more, hehe) you should have good results with using "fullscreen windowed" mode.. possibly at a minor fps loss depending on your system. If you intend on using alt tab frequently enough, it may be worth it to you in the meantime, however.

    Same here. Hoping a hotfix soon because I really want to play this game now :(

    Every.. fucking.. patch..
  • digitaldigital Join Date: 2011-01-30 Member: 79669Members
    I wouldn't mind a quick fix simply disabling alt + tab. Would also really appreciate sereing the Window Menu key disabled.

    @mortmann that looks like a corrupt install or interference with a mod.
    I've seen this error before and a complete reinstall fixed it.. unfortunately i haven't seen another solution and i just asked the dev and he said the same.
    Maybe investigate mods first, then look into verifying your files.
  • mortmannmortmann Join Date: 2013-05-21 Member: 185328Members
    I have reinstalled it and deleted the ns2 folder in appdata
    Nothing changed!

    *snip* if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. These are the tech support forums in particular and are meant to help others.. your comment was doing neither of these two things. -Ironhorse
