And again, the bad-made launcher won't let me play Hawken, I only managed to taste the game at CB3 for some miracle, but now I'm back to stage zero. I got rid of all information about Hawken CB3 before downloading the installer again, I run it, and SURPRISE!!! The launcher doesn't download the game content.

Why don't you give us a link to download the full content at once_ WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT IT___

[Elix]

What error message are you getting_ What does the launcher do instead of working properly_

What are your system specs_

I understand that this would be frustrating, but nobody will be able to help sort out the problem without more information. Also, did you try using the launcher before uninstalling it_ The reason I ask is that the launcher would update the CB3 install to Open Beta, so there was no need to uninstall it...although at any rate that's too late now.

more info please ... then we can see whats wrong XD

I assume you have the same problem as me. The launcher shuts off and goes into the process, doing nothing with no error message_

Of course, my installer wont download all of the needed files.

[Homieto]

I have the same problem as SixFootMidget, can ANYONE help us_ I really want to play..

[VictorWolf]

I got same after the patch but was easily solved for me, Zonealarm wanted new confirmation like it was first time using the game. Maybee same for you.

[SixFootMidget]

My 'installer' is 17MB, is that normal_

I have a problem with the launcher too , i can not launch game via HawkenLauncher.exe it will disappear after i open it.
I've tried everything , disable the Firewall,  run as administrator , but nothing works

[VictorWolf]

Thats it, only givinh ZoneAlarm firewall permition then it started normaly for me. Nothing else.

[SixFootMidget]

I've sent a support ticket yesterday and it didn't really help. It seems like we are the first to encounter this problem. And I really want to play this game. :c

[Vulvert]

Same problem  here. Some kind of error message would be nice but now, nothing happens after clicking Hawken

[SixFootMidget]

If we could have even the alpha build client download we could update through that.

[Vulvert]

Searched this on google and people have had problems and reported exactly this.
Devs seems not interested in helping out with this.
That kind of fuzzy bunny does not interest me, so skipping this then

[SixFootMidget]

Can you send me a link to those threads_

Exactly, I'm running as Admin, exception is added at the firewall, and to the antivirus aswell.

I had what I think is the same problem.  I downloaded the installer for the launcher from the site and installed it.  Upon trying to run the launcher I would sometimes get an all white window for just a second but usually I would get just nothing at all.  I checked the Task Manager and the process for the launcher was mysteriously dying shortly after I opened it.  I wasn't getting an error message or anything, just a lack of Hawken.  Running as Administrator didn't help.  I ran virus scans, nada.  The thing that eventually seems to have worked is I killed Microsoft Security Essentials (I closed the process through the Task Manager).  Then I ran the launcher and it started up just fine after a sec.  Once it was downloading the game client I turned MSSE back on as a test and all went well.  Hopefully the same fix will work for you guys.

For reference, I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 on a Q6700 quad-core Intel processor and an ATI Radeon HD 5830.

Many people report this error , but it seems that they do not see it
I have lost count of how many people are with this error and can't get a solution

Lucky. I'm running a stock Vista Home Premium. :c
And, that doesn't work for me, nothing does. ;n;

Same here.... I'm trying to run the game since CB1 and nothing happens. It's simply not working.

My PC is running Win7 32 GEForce 9600GT with AMD Athlon 64 x2.
