    If you have an ATI/AMD gfx card check out this post, it might fix your problem:

    1) disable steam overlay in-game

    2) go to either c:\documents and settings\owner\application data\natural selection2\options.xml (for windows xp) or %appdata%\natural selection 2\options.xml (for win7) and edit it, it's possible your video card doesn't support the resolution. Look for the lines that say <x-resolution>1280</x-resolution> and y-resolution and change them to something your monitor supports.

    3) try reinstalling directx and physx.

    They might be hidden, change folder view settings to show hidden files.

    Your not being helpfull to your self by holding back information, your being very vague. people will struggle to help you if you dont post system specs and error messages.

    Is your Graphics card ATi or nVidia?

    Change your graphical settings... if you can get into the join game screen but not load the game, it is the same as me. Drop to awful settings or as low as possible.
