yeah once rolling im fine usually but as soon as I spawn and at menus my frame rate plummets. My frames slowely climb up after 5-6 seconds after spawn. Kind of a game breaker.

Win7 64 bit
i7 950 oc to 3.7ghz
8gb ddr3 corsair dominator
Gigabyte gtx 670

When ever i try to use Hawken, the game is very slow, and lags a bit. It shows slow framerate. I need help with this issue or else i will not be able to play because its too hard to score in the game and its a very unfair advantage for the enemies in-game.

my PC:

Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
Model: Notebook
Processor: Intel® Pentium® B950 @ 2.10GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System

I am using Windows 7

I cannot confirm this works, but I heard someone say that if you Alt-Tab out of the game and turn on Task Manager and kill "HawkenLauncher.exe" and then Alt-Tab back into the game, that the FPS gets fixed.  Try this and post a reply.

Current driver version for AMD is 13.1, so those with AMD video cards may want to update.

To those of you running Nvidia cards, the latest drivers have issues with the game.  Installing 310.70 drivers are the latest stable drivers for the game.  Here's the correct process on how to revert to 310.70 drivers:-


-If you have a Gigabyte Video card, check for the Gigabyte Utility (or OC Guru).  If you find it, UNINSTALL!
-Download 310.70 drivers from Geforce.com (choose beta and legacy drivers option)
-Download Driver Sweeper 3.20 (NOT Driver Fusion!)
-Install Driver Sweeper, but don't run it yet
-Uninstall Nvidia drivers from Windows Control Panel -> Add/remove programs (will require restart)
-Press F8 a few times right at the end of the BIOS screen (1st thing to show up on the screen) and choose "Safe Mode"
-Run Driver Sweeper and check "Nvidia - Display" and "Nvidia - Physx" and choose Clean (will require restart)
-Install downloaded Nvidia Drivers.  Uncheck the 3D options and Nvidia Update option (useless, will require restart)
-Done. Test the game.

Why not simply check "clean install" on the Nvidia installation_  Because it doesn't do a clean install; it only deletes profiles.  So old system files remain behind.  That's why you do it with the above method.

For most common issues, the game does not automatically utilize the GPU.

For Nvidia, people will have to resort to things in this thread: http://community.pla...zed-nvidia-gpu/

For ATI, you will have to use Radeon Profile Tool (RadeonPro) to force the program to run using the dedicated GPU.

Then comes the CPU bottleneck...

My specs in the signature.
I think this game is coded for nvidia. I run Battlefield with 120 fps in Ultra settings. Anyway. In Hawken i get 100 fps while playing and it went down to 70-80 in intense firefight. But wtf _ In the menue my mouse lags and stat fps show me 50 fps unstable. While my friend with a crapy gtx 660 have 80 stable. Even with physx.

Is this game ment to be for Nvidia Cards _ If so, the Devs should tell us and i can stop spending money on this.

Well the game was mainly designed for Nvidia cards, so the AMD Radeons will have a disadvantage in this area.  The menu has some weird issues for most people and you'll have to wait till it gets fixed.
