Stuck on Precaching, Build 268

bambus

Hey Guys,

since Build 268, i'm stuck on the precaching loading screen, with no signs of the game going any further. There's no loading bar, showing the percentage of the game loading.
All the previous loading messages (Downloading Mods, Initializing...) work fine, but as soon as I reach the precaching-screen, i'm stuck.
Then I have to shut down the game via ctrl+alt+del.
I already tried with closed firewall, to exclude any connection-problems, but it changed nothing.

I tried running the game in sandbox mode, and it worked fine. But unfortunately, I'm not able to play PvP.

Does anybody know a solution to the problem? I'd be very grateful!

Thx alot in advance.

Greetings

Notice all those mounting mod lines there before the main menu is even initialized?
Those are mods you have installed and running

De activate those from the main menu's "mods" button.. and if you have to, unsubsribe from all of them through steam workshop, and finally you can delete them manually in your hidden %appdata%/Natural selection 2/ folder.
You should have no issues once you remove these mods

bambus

brrrr, what an obvious solution, should've thought of that on my own

thx anyway!! works again!

IronHorse

No problem, glad you got it working again!
