Screen blacks out upon launch, loads indefinitely and never finishes.

I've checked the cache, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've removed workshop items. Nothing works. This game is stupidly buggy but I enjoy it. So please help a brother out! I don't know what to do anymore.

I did that when I uninstalled. Still same problem once I reinstalled.

I've done everything you did and mine does that on server browser. 267 had the bug and 268 broke the game. I haven't been able to get into a game in over a week.

It's been posted on UWE's website but there doesn't seem to be a fix for it.

Sadly, this is how you take a dying game and take it out behind the barn. Whatever the Devs did, they're now going to lose long time players who are just sick of the instability.

They'd be better off returning the game to 266.

As per the sticky topic, we dont do tech support on the Steam Community much. If you would like this to be investigated, please follow these instructions:

After you've read this thread: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/131384/how-to-make-a-good-tech-support-post

We specifically need you to run techsupport.exe (in your NS2 folder) while ns2 is running/crashing and post your dump file on our forums. Issues like this are rare, and if our Playtest team can't reproduce them it's hard to even know what's causing it or investigate. Any and all help from those getting it will help others.

Thanks!

This isn't worthwhile to me. If I buy a game I don't expect to have to fix it right out of the box, so to speak. Until a patch comes in that will do more to help with stability and the pathetic load times, I won't be playing this game anymore.

I don't think this is actually rare considering the number of people who've posted on steam and on the UWE forums.

Anyways, I agree with Tridog. Even if it does get patched, the game since its release has been exceptionally buggy. I'm really just had it with the sheer instability NS2 has been since I started 900 hours ago.

This is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

I got the same problem :D I doubt we will be able to play this build 269.

[Tridog]

Actually, after this build updated I've been able to run the game, albiet with the slow load times again.
