FOR FLUFFY BUNNY'S SAKE DON'T START ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT THIS

Seriously, there are at least two threads in each of closed beta discussion, closed beta bug reports, and closed beta support. Why can't you use the search function? Why is it so hard to reach for?

To make an actually helpful post:

Yes there is a fix for it, look for the Binaries folder in the game's install directory (1-2 levels down). In there is the actual game exe (called HawkenGame-Win32 or something like that) in stead of the launcher. Use the game exe to start the game and gogogo!

FYI, nobody reads these posts we make here. The only reason people reply to the topic is because they can't hit the "Like" button.

Well, see.. some people run into the "Unable to download metafile" error after they've successfully downloaded the game. Other people run into it before they've managed to actually download the game.

Your "fix" is only useful for people who have already downloaded the game.

Can someone supply their "InstalledHawkenFiles" folder? That way we all get to play offline!

Well to bad they didn't know the official beta doesn't start for like 6 more hours.
All of the Hawken servers are down, they are getting ready of the open beta, please stay calm.

That would be violating the ToS and copyright. It's not like the files are impossible to get, just wait a few hours for the problems to be solved. This is a beta test, you're here to help fix problems, not play the game early.

Yeah I tried to download the Beta several times. Would have been helpful to know that the servers were down prior to me attempting this all morning. Maybe a nice warning or something.

Warning? They're not down. THEY'RE NOT UP YET. Do yourself a favor and spend five seconds reading through the multiple posts regarding these topics.
