Some computers may have the updated directx version 11, but that does not necessarily work with Hawken. After a day of researching problem solving solutions, i established that Hawken requires this directx version installed from microsoft.
Not sure why or what is going on, i only know that after installing this directx version on my windows 7 pro OS, i ran Hawken just fine.
Here is the link to the microsoft direct x version that i discovered works:

Hawken is a DX9 game.  Windows 7 doesn't ship with DX9.

Don't ask me why MS didn't make DX11 backwards compatible. :P

(I don't mean to necro threads, I'm just almost always running behind.  My apologies)
