Hi I am receiving the error "Couldn't initialize the render device" when I try to execute the game. I have tried looking for the file "system_options.xml" but I do not have it in my file. I re installed the game (and turned off cloud) and I am still receiving errors. Also my drivers are all up to date. I'm running out of ideas here and I need help!

    Did you make any changes before this started happening? Such as adding the /3Gb switch to your boot.ini ?

    First your specs are below minimum specs, secoundly your graphic driver is from 2010, pls update it. And as you start with windows use DirextX 9. Change in the systen_options.xml at %Appdata%/Natural Selection 2/ <device>OpenGL</device> to <device>D3D9</device>
