My Specs:
AMD FX-8350 8x 4Ghz + Antec H2O 920 Liquid Cooling :)
Nvidia GTX-660 2GB driver version 310.70
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
100mbit connection playing on UK Servers with good ping

Last patch caused my(and many others) FPS drop drasticly.
I've tried everything now, (I think)
clean install of Graphics drivers didnt help at all.
Uninstalling AMD overdrive made the game run a bit better, at the beginning only :(

~30-50 FPS at all settings, and in a fight it drops to ~25 fps or less
when I was in the options in a game it lagged even more..

I have been watching my system while gaming and noticed my GPU temperature going up to ~60°+,
but the GPU Fan speed was at ~35% only
so I installed MSI Afterburner to change that. Didn't change a thing about the lags
now here comes the weird part
The program has a nice hardware monitor showing everything about my GPU.
I started the game and joined a room
...
at the waiting room GPU utilization is 99%
Main menu ~80% (nothing but the background)
in game ~60-70%
mid graphics setting

shouldn't it be the other way around?

We have almost the same EXACT computer specs, and I havent noticed any frame rate drops? Will keep an eye on it today though and report back.

That makes no sense. Your specs are far beyond mine and I haven't had massive problems with the game but the patch did bring more lag for me. Lag that mostly kept me from playing competitively so I had to sacrifice the graphics for performance and I still get a little chop when I need the game running smoothly the most.

Thats odd, I played yesterday starting with 70-100 fps in medium graphics,
I even started playing on ultra graphics, when I was going to desktop and came back to the game the fps dropped to the same state as I wrote above

im having the same problem, and its stressing me out! all was running smoothly until the last patch, and now for some reason I get a much lower framerate. Ping is the same, but the graphics are choppy enough that im losing lots more duels.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has had this recently and fixed it!

Exact same problem here...

My specs are:

Intel Core-i7 3930K @ 4.3 GHz
nVIDIA GTX 690 w/ 314.07 drivers
16 GB of DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
50mbit connection; playing on UK servers with ping ranging from 88 to 125

Ever since the patch the framerate drops drastically. It tends to do so on big open spaces, such as the southern part of Prosk and the highest bridge on Origin.

On my system the framerate drops to low 20s on every setting except low / low, where it 'climbs' to 30-40 fps. It seems to be almost persistent.

A week ago I had one game session where there was not any lag, but sadly it lasted only for the first game. :(

At first I thought the latest drivers for my GPU caused the drop, but that was ruled out after a driver rollback. Other than that, I have not changed anything on my PC recently, so I'm stuck with the poor performance...

I really hope the dev's notice this topic (and the others for the same issue). In my opinion Hawken's pace and duelling style really needs smooth fluid graphics to work.
Ive tried everthing suggested so far, and no fix as yet :-(

this happens to me sometimes. I've fixed it by completely uninstalling  and re-installing gpu drivers, or at least i thought i did. coz now even that doesn't work. i can't think of what might be changed since yesterday.

Kazma,       same problem here, I have been without solution for weeks, and I have tried everything.  

Core i7 3770 k  3.5 ghz (running at 3.9 turbo) fluid cooled.    Gigabyte z77h - ud5h motherboard,  900 w aztec power supply  (all are new)        Patriot 1600 4x2gb ram (not new).  

Same Graphics cards with  EVGA Nvidia GTX 660 TI  but with driver version  320.18, yet I have tried many others.  Bought a second 660 Ti and ran it in SLI mode, probably made it even worse.    Even replaced my modem which was 4 years old and sending bad packets, no help.   Re installed Windows 7 64 bit ultimate, installed video drivers,  intel chipsets, and Hawken only.  No help.

I too only had a problem after the content patch.  I do know that the guys from Hawken know about this issue and are trying to fix this.     Other high rendering online death match games (like SMite) are working fine, so I do think there are some fixes needed from Hawken.    

Game is worth the wait though, don't delete just yet.    I will post if I find a fix.  I have tried everything recommended in here.
