Sorry its me again, I already had post a topic about very low frame rate and often lags.
Alright, I'll get to the point.



Yesterday, except the lag of the game everything worked fine like a dream but today, after I'm done with my personal things, I tried to play Hawken and when I start the launcher it holds about 1.5 seconds on downloading manifest and then it says "Unable to download manifest"
Is this just the 24H maintenance as usual or is it just me not able to play it?
I searched about this problem on the internet and I only found several topics that are not similar with mine.

Mine is like, Whenever we start the launcher, the download bar starts checking and when it says "Ready to start/play" we press the launch button but for me, the place where "Ready to play" as "Unable to download manifest"

Many people on the other topics said its the internet and the firewall but I think it isn't. Internet is fine and firewall is down right now. Vaccine/blocking programs are now also disabled but it doesn't work.


Sorry, I need a help again.

Oh whew, I was really afraid if it wasn't a temporary problem, but what is that about?

>>>>>:

Greetings pilot. Starting on Tuesday, February 04, HAWKEN has begun the transition to Steam as a distribution platform. This launcher can no longer be used to update the game client, and can now be uninstalled. You won’t lose any progress in the transition to Steam.

We are sending Steam product keys for HAWKEN to existing users in waves, so keep an eye out for a message from coms@playhawken.com (check your spam folder, too). All current players will receive a product code by February 11th. If you haven’t received a code by then, submit a help ticket with the subject Missing Steam Code atplayhawken.zendesk.com.

For more information, see the Steam FAQ and theSteam Transition Guide.

It is exactly as that explains. Uninstall Hawken from your computer, create a Steam account, and after you receive your Key in an email for Hawken you can download it through Steam and continue playing. Until then the current launcher is useless.

Yes. The game is being moved entirely to Steam, which means the current launcher will no longer work and the only way to play the game anymore is to download and run it through Steam. There really is no choice.

As of today we will no longer be supporting the game through our launcher. It served us well but we won't be bringing it back up again.

So the only way to play HAWKEN is to get the key code and use it on STEAM?

Yes. We are rolling out our February update small batches at a time for all our current players before it becomes available to everyone else via our Steam page. All players will receive an email with a key they can redeem in their Steam client and presto! HAWKEN appears.

But I went to steam and tried to search the HAWKEN workshop or community but I couldn't, could you give me a link or something like that?

But is it actually free to play on steam? Or we have to buy on steam and the keys is only for the players who was originally playing?

There isn't a Hawken page on Steam yet, we're waiting for all current players to get access via the keys we're sending out before we open the page up to the rest of the world
