Tried to start NS2 today, got the loading screen, then it goes black and the crash dialog box comes up. 1st thing I did was check my log:
Date: 05/01/14

Build 264
Windows 8 64-bit (build 9200)
Steam initialized

Direct3D 11 initialized [feature level 11.0] (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti  )

Record Device: Lijningang (TASCAM US-1641)
PhysX: Using GPU dispatcher
Loading config://ConsoleBindings.json
PhysX: Using GPU dispatcher
Loading config://FavoriteServers.json
Loading config://HistoryServers.json

Next step was to remove everything from the Natural Selection 2 roaming folder. Now I go straight to black screen, do not pass loading screen..

So I deleted all my personal mod files and code that has been hanging around in the Natural Selection 2 steam folder for several years. Now the game shows loading before crashing again.

This time, the log goes a bit further as it is downloading my subscribed mods.

So I went on steam and unsubscribed from all the NS2 mods I am subscribed to and deleted the roaming folder again. I get the same problem, but now it crashes in the middle of compiling the shaders:

Visually the problem is exactly the same, the loading screen comes up, then black screens.

Does anyone have any other possible solutions before I nuke the whole install? 10GB is a lot to download...

    Delete all of your mod files again, disable your mods, and then try to connect to a UWE official server. If it works, the problem is likely a mod conflict.

    HAHA, I can't launch NS2, it won't start. The loading screen comes up and then it black screens. I tried loads of things, it didn't work, ended up deleting and re-downloading, it works now :D

    I verified my game files, deleted my workshop folder, no dice. Don't know what changed in 1 day to go from playing for 8 hrs straight to being unable to load the game at all. Oh right, new update breaking NS2 as usual.

    Just unsubscribing from mods fixed this for most people. Try verifying game cache before you nuke the install.

    so, if you are getting thsi it would help if you posted a log.

    Worst case, delete %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/system_options.xml if you all ahve what i think you do that should fix things.

    if not you know post logs.

    I had the same problem.

    Deleted the %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/system_options.xml file
    Deleted the folder %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/cache
    Deleted the folder %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/Workshop (after unsubscribing from everything)

    And it works now.

    The next step the OP should have done after unsubscribing and deleting mods, was to delete their Cache folder so it recompiles the shaders from scratch.
    Also, you didnt say that you tried verifying steam cache?

    You need to unsub from all workshop mods through Steam.

    @IronHorse‌ I did that, when I said deleted the 'Workshop' folder, I meant the NS2 roaming folder. If you look, you see the whole game compiling shaders on the 2nd run.

    I had the same problem : the game was freezing at the menu.

    I deleted the %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/system_options.xml file
    the folder %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/cache
    the folder %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/Workshop (after unsubscribing from everything)

    Now I don't even make it to the menu : black screen and back to windows as soon as I launch the game.

    win7, gtx 460, 8gb ram, asus p7p55de, gskill 120GB SSD, i7 at stock 2.93Ghz

    had no problems running NS2 whatsoever up until the update last night. NS2 is the only game I have installed under steam and I'm not subscribed to any other mods.

    Same here , first I thought windows updates were the problem (IE fix update and so on). But after deleting the updates and an earlier system snapshot is the problem allready here...

    We have all bad luck -.- and no support from game developers... :(:(

    @Soul_Rider‌
    "Direct3D 11 initialized"
    I believe this is why you had a black screen, initially, considering it was fixed after you deleted your options file which properly put you into directx 9 mode.
    The crashing when caching just sounds like steam might have downloaded a botched file, and is something verifying the cache more than likely could have fixed.
    Thanks for the thoroughness btw

    @marshmallow‌
    You need to start your own thread, your issue is much different than the one listed here.
    Your starting hint is this error in your log: "Error: Couldn't connect to Steam"

    @michael390‌
    You have support. If devs need to know what is going on, i will relay. Until then we diagnose, troubleshoot and collect data.
    In your log :

    This occurs before loading the main menu..
    Looks like you are still subscribed to mods. Please unsubscribe through steam first, THEN delete your workshop folder.

    ^ This goes for all users having this issue!! Unsubscribe from all mods through steam, then manually delete your workshop folder after and report back your results.

    "Direct3D 11 initialized"
    I believe this is why you had a black screen, initially, considering it was fixed after you deleted your options file which properly put you into directx 9 mode.

    I understand D3D 11 is in beta, but to be honest @IronHorse‌ I have only used D3D11 since it was added. I have never had a problem. According to most people I spoke to, it was some sort of mod issue. As removing subscription from mods seems to clear it. The big mystery is why it happened around 9 hours BEFORE ns2 was updated. We can understand after, but not before :P

    @IronHorse‌ - My apologies, I just set the game to D3D11 again, and it is indeed the cause of the problem. What I want to know, how can an issue like this suddenly appear, when no updates have been added? Nothing has changed and yet suddenly a huge percentage of the player base cannot use D3D11...

    way 1: steam -> library -> NS2 (right klick) -> community hub -> workshop (at top) -> subscribed items (on the right)
    way 2: steam -> library -> NS2 (left klickt) -> browse the workshop (some where in the middle) -> subscribed items (on the right)
    way 3: steam -> community -> workshop (all at top) -> search for Natural Selection 2 -> subscribed items (on the right)

    What I don't understand is that I was able to test the new map yesterday, but today the game crash as soon as it is launched.

    EDIT : OK, this is getting weirder : The game seems to work only at night, WTF ?

    This probably is the first tech support thread where logs are shown and mods have been disabled.

    My solution now was to use revo uninstaller to remove really all Steam and NS2 files and registry entries. After reinstalling steam and NS2all is working :) .

    The exact same happened to my installation after the KODIAK update. I actually deleted local game files and downloaded the 11GB again... Alas, same problem persisted.
    This solved it for me though:

    I had the same problem.

    Deleted the %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/system_options.xml file
    Deleted the folder %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/cache
    Deleted the folder %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/Workshop (after unsubscribing from everything)

    And it works now.

    There has to be something wrong with the update. Anyway...
    Thanks! :)
