Black Screen when connecting to a server

jubu4711 · January 2015

I can play the tutorial and all the other offline game types. I want to play online and connect to a server, I get a black screen after loading. the mouse works and the console too. I can disconnect from server and am back on the main menu.
I have read all options in the previous posts. I installed ns2 on a fresh installed win 8.1. Before I had formatted it still works.
Download and updated every Windows 8.1 updates from Windows Update.
1. I deleted the game from steam. then deleted SteamApps/Common/Natural selections 2 folder and %AppData%/Natural Selections 2 folder.
2. stopped cloud sync
3. Reinstalled the game
4. Verify Game Cache and running the game again.
5. Change from DX11 to DX9
6. tested with the lowest graphic settings (AntiAliasing in the amd control panel says: is performed by application)
7. also i deinstalled all new drivers and the av program an other tools/programs

The tech_support.zip follows this afternoon when i'm back at home.

Please try to join a server without the comp mod. Your log is full with code errors.

Could you do me a favor and enable net_log 2 in the console (^ key above the tab key) and get me a log connecting to a server after using it? That will give us some in-sign what is going on with your network.

Black screen or consistency check failure? Because the second one is known and we are working on it.

@METROID‌
How many servers have this issue? Just the two?
Can you try a smaller player count server that's under 150 latency?

jubu4711 · January 2015

do you have a tip for me?

Can you tell us your router you are using?

jubu4711 · January 2015

i use a fritz box 6320 as modem and a linksys wrt320n as router. after your question i connected my pc directly to the fritz box ... and it works!!!! incredible.

but the fritz box has only one lan connection and i need the wlan of the linksys so I have to bring the linksys to run. it makes no difference whether I use the pc via lan or wlan connect to the linksys.

I dont know much about Linksys but it might be that the routerfirewall is blocking the UDP traffic? Try disable the built-in Firewall or play with the settings

GhoulofGSG9 · January 2015

well, linksys routers have been known in the past years to have issues with udp packet networking (best example running two xbox 360s in one network is not possible with them ...).

All you can do for now is to port-range trigger 27020 udp and make sure UPnP is enabled.

jubu4711 · January 2015

i set the port triggering and upnp is activated but it does not work.

jubu4711 · January 2015

the port 27015 seems to get filtered. I testet it with tools. but i set the port forward to 27015. I have a static ip. i set it in the linksys and the fritz box. Don't know why it does not work

jubu4711 · January 2015

now i have put a hub between modem and router so i the pc is in the hub and "directly" in the modem ... It works! shit linksys. I have spend hours.
