Installed hawken on a new intel based i7 system, after rebooting im prompted to install AMD cpu drivers.
After some research I discovered this has something to do with the unreal UDK.
My question is, do I realy need to install this, and if I didnt will I have problems running the game?
why the hell would I need to install AMD drivers on an intel system in the first place? :S

no no no no no no no . simply

Intel drivers are for Intel chipsets only, same applies for AMD ... it'll most likely cause instabilities and issues. I dunno why its asking you for that, but it really shouldn't ...

Are you sure it's prompting you for AMD cpu drivers, or AMD64?  Because AMD64 is generic throughout every system since they were the ones to create 64-bit first.  Just like 32-bit is referred to as IA32.

I got this as well just now - I pressed cancel.

Also, WTF at the automatic restart after .NET framework is installed by Hawken.

"Your system will shutdown in less than a minute"

Err, thanks for the warning?

:angry:

+1 to this, it definitely said "AMD CPU Driver" in the EULA. I pressed reject, hawken tried to launch but crashed (as it has before), on the next try it started normally.

That's not HAWKEN installing it, that's part of Unreal.  They added a fix for a negative delta sync when using dual core.  This was added back in the days of Vista (maybe right before). This isn't something that will negatively impact you if it's installed,
