Crash on start up

When I start NS2 it loads up then after 5 seconds it locks up and crashes. When I validated I had 4 corrupt files, those are gone and it still crashes. Any help?

    Hi,
    What does says the last message in the log.txt of your crash report ?
    Have you been to the workshop of NS2 ? The last time that happened to me is that NS2 was trying to download a map from the workshop.

    Try to "verify integrity of game cache" in the property of the game too, we never kno.

    Hey guys - I had this problem last few days too and just managed to work out a fix - the Steam Workshop update is causing the crash.

    To fix, unsubscribe from all all NS2 items in the Steam Workshop, then try restarting your game.


    Note - I had already tried reinstalling my NS2 and also removing old Steam Workshop items out of my install and also my %appdata% directory, so small possibility you would need to do that too.

    Let me know how you get on.
