Game crashes on startup

geoman798 · September 2013

I bought Natural Selection about a 2 days ago. When i first got it it started up fine but i went to the settings tab and accidentally changed the resolution to an unreadable tiny box. It was stuck at a resolution like 200x300 for an entire day before I realized that the graphics settings were on a different tab. I couldn't see any of the options when it was in that resolution so in my random clicking I may have broken the game. Once i finally fixed the resolution, I closed out of the game because it said it needed a restart, and once I reopened it it would just stay on a black screen with the little windows loading cursors. I don't know if i changed a setting that just makes it crash or something.

Can you run techsupport .exe, and post the resulting zip file. Gives us a bit more insight into what is going wrong

I'd do a search on your computer for "%appdata%" then go into roaming folder, then NS2 folder, then delete system_options file, then try starting NS2 again.

Yes deleting the system_options file did work, thank you very much.
