Black screen first time install

[Tezoi]

I ran dxsetup like some other post suggested, nothing happened and tried setting the steam launch options to a lower resolution and nothing happened. Why should I have to go through all this effort when all I've done is bought and installed the game.

here is some more you can try ^_^

try run NS2 as Admin and/or re-validate your NS2 data via steam... and/or some specific .NET Framework (and/or Visual C++ Redistributable missing)... and/or if u ve Adobe Creative Cloud installed, disable it.
