Hello,
I just bought two natural selection and when I connect to a server and I arrived in the waiting room I have a black screen (see screen the field below):
Have you an idea of the problem?
I already checked the cache and reinstalled the game several times, I've updated my video drivers and updated DirectX but nothing changes.
Help me.
Thank,
best regards.

Thank you.
Best Regards.
My card is not powerful enough? dod source runs very well
I am sorry but your card only seems to has 512 MB and therefore doesn't fit to the minimum settings needed to play ns2
BTW DoD Source was release in July 2010 while NS2 came out Oct. 2012, so you cant really compare those two games. Today most games require at least 1 GB GRam
If you want to do a low-budget graphic upgrade i would suggest to go with the AMD HD 7770 ( around 90$ inc. FC3). With that card you should be able to play all current and at least all titles of the next year.
But I'm not really sure if either is as the beginning of the black screen?
What do you think?
Because the game would work and it would be very slow.
You can test this by yourself: Open the console (^) and type r_stats and look at video memory free
e.g. the game already load 300 mb textures with the main menu (as the backround is nothing else than a small lvl). Going into any ready room, "boom" we have over 500 MB video ram used. at this point your graphic card says something like "dude i cant handle all that stuff , ill drop my memory now" and this results into the "black screen" (no objects loaded)
Thank you for all the details.

Comparing those two engines is just mind blowing: its a 7 year difference, and really its more like 8, being ran on the source engine... developed by hundreds of devs with near unlimited budgets for over six years.
I received and installed my ATI HD7950 and now the game work very well.
Thank you.
