As the topic says. This started yesterday. The sounds stops working, and I hear a click click noise, everytime when a map is changed.

Go out and in and fixed for one map, rinse repeat

Did you change anything in the configs recently (for example skipping the intro movies etc)?

Turning off all the movies in the configs caused this for me.  Turning them back on again fixed it.  My guess is that the movies re-initialise some part of the sound system when they play the map page 'movie' between matches, and Hawken relies on this to serendipitiously have the sound working in the next match.  I should really report this as a bug...

Between map loads the game plays a "movie" on loop.  Without the movie strange things happen.

The odd thing about your bug is that you can fix it.  Or, I should say, fix it without restarting hawken.  Everyone I know who has sound issues has to fully quit hawken to get things to work right again.

You said, "go out and in" and I assume this means leaving the server then rejoining, without quitting hawken.  Is this correct, or by "go out" did you mean "restart hawken"?

Here's the thing, if you mess around with things like this, make sure you know how to do it Myself, I totally removed all of those, and I don't have any problems, so you must know which to delete and why.

Luckily there is an easy fix how to skip all the intro thingies without having to hamper with the .ini files.

Go to your folder where you installed steam. Go down this filepath:
SteamAppscommonHawkenHawkenGameMovies

There will be several files named Splash_legal.bik, Splash_adhesive.bik, Splash_hawken.bik, Splash_meteor.bik, Splash_nvidia.bik and UE3_logo.bik.

Make a backup copy of those files and rename them to something else or delete them.
That will disable the loading screens. If you are having problems you can restore those files from your backup.

DO NOT DELETE LoadingMovie.bik OR Splash_loading.bik else the game will crash or you will experience sound bugs.

I am using above mentioned method to skip intros and enjoy an intro free gaming experience without any problems whatsoever.
Thanks to Saturnine for finding this method!

Cheers,
Sorro

That was very constructive, thank you.

Try resetting your whole config folder by doing step 3 of this thread: http://steamcommunit...52451325040024/

Ok that makes sens, I will delete the Hawken folder under My games, and I assume Hawken will recreate all those files.

Yes, Hawken rebuidls the folder and it's content (unless you have Win 8).
