Greetings pilots!

On March 27 at 9:30 a.m. we'll be taking the HAWKEN and game servers offline to deploy our March Update.

We expect the downtime to last approximately 1 hour. Thanks for you patience!

Pour yourself a drink, I'll sing you a song.

You are doing this all wrong. The first reply should be just that: First!

I know. But I'm just so fuzzy bunny eager for this patch to be put into effect.

I hope that they sneak in some anti-cheat checks.

Good job with the patch. But i am sad that i don't see

"added new server regions for Europe. Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Stockholm"
"replacement of amazon servers. players may rent their own servers from different server hosting companies"
"added VAC support to the game to tone down the usage of aimassistance and visual enhancements".

Other than that, great job ;)

Thanks for the heads up, some of us have rather slow internet so it's nice to be able to plan ahead. (My max d/l speed is 350 kb/s but I get 40-60 ping in game...I guess that's preferable to the other way around though. Lol. Good DL speed with a crappy ping wouldn't do me much good.)

I also play on "PoundSignYoloSwag" (Assault/G2 Assault) and "FriendshipIsMagic" (Rocketeer) But haven't been able to add them to my Sig yet due to computer problems.

I always tell ZamboniChaos it's going to take 1h, just to be safe. But this time it only took 13 min (new record!)
You can now login and explorer the new content as the game servers are gradually coming back online with the updated version. This is a new feature to be able to let players in the game client while servers are being restarted. We just needed a good way to communicate it so that it doesn't look like the server browser was broken/empty.

Steam just downloaded an update for HAWKEN... But it's 938.6MB, not 984,2MB.
Not sure what happened here. Does it unpack to be larger, or was something cut last minute?
I'm not sure, but i wouldn't (edit) worry about that. The number reported to me in the Steamworks control panel could be different than what is actually transferred over the network. Mine says 938.6 MB in the Steam client too now that I look at it.
