And here's what I see when I launch the game:
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/hiB2M.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Can't do ANYTHING except opening console. I also deleted game folder several times, tried to reinstall steam, copy everything, clear %appdata%/natural selection 2... etc.

It all started after I subscribed to one of the workshop mods.
I have already played about 25 hours in NS2 on medium settings.

Glad you contacted me on steam, seen this problem before:
<a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=123123" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=123123</a>

Some mod out there is rewriting people's steam settings incorrectly! Look for the hidden "2's"!
If someone can narrow down which mods, thatd be great.
"Server enhancer", Menu mod, and fragmental's flashlight mod are all a suspect right now, fyi

Eclipse186

Iron horse, it is the "Server enhancer" mod that is the culprit, I had the same exact issue and that was the only mod I had installed. And thanks to your response there I was able to find the fix.

IronHorse

Awesome.<strike> Someone please contact the maker of that mod!</strike>
Left a comment for the mod maker after half a dozen of these reports.

See <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=123296" target="_blank">my thread</a>.

Two tins, this is specifically an issue with the mod. The mod maker even warns of it:

<i>"!Warning!
If you select the cross in a checkbox and you disable mod after, the main menu will be break.
For fix that you need to edit this file
Steam/userdata/<yoursteamid>/4920/remote/options.xml
and change
<filter_modded>2</filter_modded>
to
<filter_modded>false</filter_modded>
do the same thing for <filter_rookie>"</i>


So idk if you were subscribed to the same mod or not and your fix just did the same thing or not.. or if theyre two separate issues.

In fact, this is a result of the uninstall this mod ""Server enhancer"" that I started having problems.

I tried the solution that you put, but the values ​​are already in my file like you said.

So for me it does not change anything ...

PS: sorry for the English, I go through a translator.

Radagast

I'm having this issue as well but I've never even installed any server enhancer mod? I haven't touched the game for months!

IronHorse

Radagast youre issue must be different then.
Start a new thread with your DXdiag and log.txt from ns2. (see the stickied posts for more info)

@L'Ardennias:

If you are indeed receiving the same error in your console/log: "GUIItem.SetIsVisible(GUIItem, "2")"
Then theres still SOME LINE in that options file that contains the number 2 when it should be true or false.
Ctrl + F and look for every instance of "2" :)
