Hi! ive been playing for over 6 months and now, i have the same message. i don't know why its not working but i hope they fix it soon.
Closed Beta is over, that's why it's not working.

They'll fix it in about five days when Open Beta launches.

Please use the search function. This information is easily available.

so are we just out of the loop for the next five days if we're getting this error_

I mean "information is readily availible" great, but pertaining to this particular error message and what is supposed to be done as a work around or a fix simply isn't. . . . and after just getting in and starting to be able to play to then loose it all is kinda ugh . . .

so_

5 days of "hold on. . . ."

or  . . . X fixes this. . .

The error "unable to download manifest" is because the servers are down. Closed Beta ended last night at midnight, and this date was communicated WELL in advance of the shutdown. The workaround is to wait until the servers are no longer down. The fix is for Adhesive to launch Open Beta, which is scheduled to begin on 12/12.

If you used the search function, you might find that threads like this have been created every single time a closed beta event ended, and the answer has always been the same: The servers are down. You cannot play the game. The error messages you are receiving are because the servers are down. You need to wait until the next beta event begins.

We're out of the loop because we aren't on Adhesive's internal development network with test servers and the unstable client builds.

I mean, if you want to see your garage, you should be able to launch the game directly by navigating into your Hawken folder and going into BinariesWin32 and launching HawkenGame-Win32-Shipping.exe but it STILL won't be able to connect to any servers because, you know, they're down.

It's a shame that you didn't get much time to play before the beta event ended, but the good news is that Open Beta is about to start, and it'll be full-time (barring maintenance downtime, obviously).

Edit: If you search for "unable to download manifest" in the beta subforums, you'll get a lot of results that aren't post-beta questions like the one I described above. Many threads were when the test period was active, and in these cases, the servers were... still down, but this was due to technical issues instead of a planned shutdown of the game. And again, the only solution was to wait for Adhesive to get it fixed.

It's not easily availble, I landed here from pointmmo and was entirely confused, someone needs to get their act together if the first bit of info I get is some snarky comment on their forums.

Did you try using the search function_

Note, I'm not being snarky here. This is a straight-forward question.

Don't you know you just have to enter the Koonami code to unlock the launcher_ It also gives you 30 extra lives.

This has nothing to do with Hawken, but try using the Konami Code on this webpage, using enter for 'start': http://railslove.com/

(Make sure you have scripting enabled. It's harmless.)
