Hi

Toyed around a bit today with Hawken on Linux here are the results: it is playable, probable even more tweakable, as I did not test it too heavily.
I submitted my results to the wine appdb, but until it gets reviewed, here are the steps.

To get the launcher working you have to use the tip from JadeFalcon below. (press the cog and wait about 1 minute for the launcher to show the launch button)

To launch the game:
-install d3dx11_42, d3dx11_42, d3dx9 and d3dx10 using winetricks
-open winecfg -> libraries -> add d3dx11 -> edit -> disable
-I used a emulated desktop because I run twinview, what causes problems with fullscreen apps
--> Game should launch now, menu seems laggy

Joining a game works, frames seem far below what win8 gives me


Machine Specs:
i5 3570k
16gb ram
crucial m4 128gb
nvidia 560ti with latest Blob (313.18 as of testday)
archlinux x64, kernel-ck

does not work on OS X 10.8.2

just letting you know.

It's sad because I though this was going to be the big breakthrough I was looking for :(

If you could be more precise, I could try to help you :)
Are you using any wine wrapper, or plain wine?

So far i cant find d3dx11 in the libraries list in order to add it and disable it. Ive done all the previous steps. Only problem i am having, is that i get the launcher loaded, and it downloads the patch, but when it goes to install the patch, i get a file error. Then after that, when i try to load it again, it just crashes, or freezes.
