I also receive this error and am happy to know that they are aware of it and are trying to fix it. I just hope it fixed before the beta begins in a few hours.

Agreed I wanted to be able to download everything and have it set up and ready for when I got off work tonight. Should be up and ready by then I hope.

There is a way around the metafile error. 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!

No Binaries for those of us that can't even get the initial install to go past the Metafile error. ;)

That would be fine if we could even get to that point. My client hasnt even downloaded anything yet. The moment Im done installing the 'installer' I get the 'cannot download metafile' error. I dont even have a binaries folder to go into at this point.

Can't start the game without the file. So trying this is ab initio bro

We are aware of this bug and are busy chasing it down. We will post on the forums when we have resolution. In the meantime, as there are multiple threads on this I'm going to lock this one and try to corral everything into one thread.

Thx!
