Hey there, I'm having some problems with the game starting since I try too play it again.
Some explanations:
I have played NS2 for like 70 hours and i really like the game, i havn't played it since 2 months at least I guess and now i tried too play it again. Well, there is just the problem that I can't even start it anymore, if I try to start it via the steam shortcut there is not even something like a white/blackscreen, nothing happens, steam switches from "not in game" to "ingame" and like 13 secs later back to "not in game". I also tried to start it via the steam folder, not even once, like in all options there like, run as admin, compatibilit and all other.
I tried everything there was on steam i found, like deleting the cache, reinstalling, permissions, nuking the game and reinstalling, like everything...
I looked trough the forum here and found some problems wich looked like mine, but no solution worked..
So what i did:
.)reinstalling
.)delete everything from %appdata% and steamfolders -> reinstalling
.)copy the shaders from core to ns2
.)reinstalling DirectX
.)updated my video card driver
.) i searched for the system_options.xml too reset the start parameters, but since the first reinstall the appdata folder is empty
.) i copied the files in appdata from a friend and watched what happend -> same prob
.) deleted all .dll files from common/natural selection 2 and watched what happend -> update.dll ist the last thing that gets loaded till the "nothing happens" all .dll files that get loaded till update.dll work i guess
.)took a update.dll from a friend and watched what happend -> same prob
.)starting the NS2.exe with -admin -compatibility
now i don't have any ideas left what i can do, i tried i think every known solution from here and the steam forum, nothing works![:/]( ":/")
I have an:
AMD Phenom II x4 955 Processor 4x3,2 GHz
6 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
SSD Harddrive (tried to install it on my HDD as well)
2 Monitors 1280x1024 (tried to unplug the second)
the Techsupport.exe showed nothing in my eyes, but i can upload it if neccesary
Sorry for my bad englisch, i hope somebody can help me![:)]( ":)")
