<div class="IPBDescription">I have to install custom game :S:S</div> Hi there,

I played NS for 1 month when it was released. Very nice game, but I formatted my pc and gone, and never played it again..

But now I want to play it again, but i have a problem. When I`m trying to connect to a server it gives a error:

You can`t connect to the server until you installed the custom game.

Does anyone how I can solve the problem???

    Do not use the desktop shortcut. Instead use the Start menu.

    Start > Programs > Natural Selection > Launch Natural Selection.

    The Natural Selection desktop shortcut is bugged. You can fix this problem by deleting it and using the shortcut in the start menu, or by starting up regular HL and selecting Natural Selection in the custom games menu.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    to fix desktop icon:

    1. Right click and go to Properties
    2. Click on Start-In
    3. Change to C:\SIERRA\Half-Life (or whatever ur install directory is)
    4. DONT use NS folder.... use general HL directory
