Hello,
Recently after reinstalling Natural Selection 2 on Windows 10 again, I have been getting instant crashes on launch, and it says Fatal Error.
I have tried searching around a lot on the internet, however, my game doesn't spit out any error at all when it crashes, and I'll paste the crashlog at the end.
I've tried reinstalling Natural Selection 2 (3 times), reinstalling my graphics drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller, and finally I have tried deleting my %appdata% folder of Natural Selection 2, but nothing changes.
Also, when I did use Display Driver Uninstaller, with Microsoft's basic display driver I was actually able to launch the game, but the game does not work when I launch it after I installed the latest nvidia driver (355.98).
Crashlog (There is like nothing in there)

And if you havent and I cant imagine you havent after 3 installs, restart your pc
Have you checked that all the Microsoft VC REDISTS are installed? If so re-install each one, they will be located in your ns2 installation folder in steamapps.
In case you want to give another reinstall a try make sure you follow this guide
Thats of course nvidia.
Disable nvidia's streaming options and try again.
Thanks, well I've tried that by basically just uninstalling Geforce Experience and after restarting checking whether I have a nvstreamer.exe service still running (it's not), but sadly it still gives me the same error on startup.
Naw, i might try enabling debug in control panel just in case (it forces stock speeds)
Hey mate, can you do me a favor and run FURMARK for me, this tests the stability of your graphics card and it will determine if its clocks are too high or the card has a fault with itself.

Run the 1080p, it should reach 100% without any errors.
If it bombs out before reaching 100% you have a problem
Its suspicious that your graphics keep failing like this.
Great nerds think alike
Aight, I ran it like you gents said and here's a picture of the results at the end, no crashes or Display Driver crashes. Also, I was able to play Natural Selection 2 on Windows 10 for about 20 hours about a month ago before I decided to reinstall Natural Selection 2 recently.
Should be in your windows event viewer. I wonder if it has recent errors in it.
Just checked, and yea, its not there anymore since I uninstalled Geforce Experience, thanks.
Also did you follow Obby's full nuke guide?
Well I was recently using Geforce Experience's new beta (the one that lets you coop with streaming games), so that's why I probably got alot of errors from nvstreamer, though the recording and all works pretty good. And I guess I'll try the nuking again in a few hours to see if it works.
Edit: Just tried that, also I deleted the userdata/4920 to make sure that my other settings would delete, and sadly, nothing.
Also whats the command line that forces the app to launch in directx 10? Maybe @GhoulofGSG9 can shed some light on this.
You are also not running any of the insider builds on windows 10 are you? I made that mistake and I had some AWFUL errors with ns2
Most kind of DirectX overlays do not work together with NS2 (except the steam one)!
Yea, I didn't have any overlays running besides the Nvidia one, which I uninstalled anyways lol.
I find it odd that there is no evidence anywhere of any crash.
Yea, I seriously do not get why in my case the game does not log any errors, unless for some reason I found some new bug.

Yea, its not writing anything to %Appdata%\Local\CrashDumps\ after I enabled it, mostly probably because Natural Selection 2 isn't crashing straight from Windows (ns2.exe has stopped responding) but instead has its own crash log creator.
If the ns2 crash reporter shows up you will find a minidump file in your %temp% folder as long as you keep the crash reporter opened.
