I've been trying the same process of uninstalling and reinstalling. At first it an "Unable to open metafile" error, I solved that by saving the file in an external hard drive. Now I'm dealing with the host issue. Blaww

The problem was fixed for me by installing the game through the "C:" drive. I originally installed it in my external hard drive but it won't load the game at all.

Probably the patcher is programmed to think that the game is always going to be found on its C drive instead of seeing where it's supposed to be at.

Just uninstall and reinstall it to your C Drive! Hope it works for you guys!

Delete file "HawkenLauncher.version" in the folder: "Program Files (x86)MeteorEntertainmentHawkenInstalledHawkenFiles"

That rebooted the patcher for me.

I had this issue as well. On one computer I installed it to X: just fine but a different computer my game drive is E: and it gave the "Failed to update host" error and endless cycle of restarting the launcher.

Uninstalled and installed to C: and it worked. Weird that it worked on one computer but not another.
