Please provide your techsupport.exe zip file
IF you are crashing every time, you can leave the crashed NS2 window open while running this executable, and it will create a large but useful dump file.

Please deactivate all your mods in the ns2 mod menu.
You can also unsubscribe from all of them through steam workshop if you'd like.

I unsubscribed all my mods on Steam workshop then I ran NS2 game and went into the mods section, deactivated all the mods to NO that were on YES, clicked restart and it crashed again with the same debug report.

After un subscribing go to your hidden folder %appdata%/Natural Selection 2 /
And delete your workshop folder.
Then make another tech support zip when it fails so we can rule out mods
C:\STEAM\userdata\xxxyour-idxxx\4920\remote\options.xml <- check inside this file for this entry:
<mods>
<active_mods></active_mods>
</mods>
See if anything is mentioned there and remove it.

Also, disable all your mods just incase.

@ATF It says 4920_install.vdf and I can't open that.
I coulda looked into your techsupport.zip....
Your options.xml contains:
<mods>
<active_mods>5e4c7a6 67e3b77 68a1272 6561c6f 619984c 69c79fb 6cc61d7 7957667 7de5a48 7bc5bc8 6f3c1bd 7cf83af 7c92314 5f35045 5fd7a38 c11703b 712065f</active_mods>
</mods>
Make it look like this:
<mods>
<active_mods></active_mods>
</mods>
There should be an options.xml in C:\STEAM\userdata\xxxyour-idxxx\4920\remote\ or whereever you have steam installed.
Also disable steam cloud for NS2. Goto steam library, right click on NS2 >properties>updates>steam cloud.
Share ur games with ur account to another account u have (or make new acc) then try to run ns2 on that new account it worked for me u do have to change ur settings agian and get the mods u have but it helped for me
