Hello there!
I have a problem with this game, I can't play. The game says that my screen is not compatible with the game or something like that...
The problem can be that my screen is not panoramic_
Thank you for your time ^^

Try this "go to your computer> C: > program files> hawken> Hawken game> config> defaultsystemsettings.ini like 15 lines down you can change it" might help!

have not looked at it my self you should see numbers like 1920X1080 or 800X600 something like this you need to change it to what your set up is.
Ok this is it if it is RES you need to fix (SystemSettings]
Borderless=False
bAllowImageGrain=True
OccludedPrimitiveQueryBatchSize=64
Fullscreen=True
ResX=1280<<<<<<<
ResY=720<<<<
just set it to what you have your desktop set to and you will be all good if your PC can play the game. It is near the top! 12 lines down not 15 .

You shouldn't mess with that file.

This is the file you should edit: (My) DocumentsMy GamesHawkenHawkenGameConfigHawkenSystemSettings.ini

Change this:

Fullscreen=True

To this:

Fullscreen=False

Save the file and launch Hawken. If that doesn't work, please reply with the following system specs:
CPU
RAM
Video card
Video driver version

CPU is bad..bud should run on low resolution and details..
The worst is your graphics card, 4350 is way below minimum required specs..
You've got 2 GB ram + 256MB on board vga..
Sorry dude..come back when you'll upgrade your hardware..oh..and dont buy those crappy Acers from Tesco..
Buy custom built rigs from good computer shops near your location...

What Gunhed said.  The Radeon HD 4350 is not a gaming card...it will not run Hawken even if somehow you got it to load.  Get a new graphics card or give up.

1024 v 768      reference for self      new file name "DefaultSystemSettings.ini"    not sure if this is master  since the 800 x 600 test didnt work
may require entering these in BACKWARDS to work


To all concerned parties  BUG ----->>> change view to NOT full screen
new settings Broken big time after returning to full screen   ..   kinda nice to play all zoomed up like that but in  between games the UI
is just plain un useable     Summary  go small non full screen then back to full screen   and the settings dont up date correctly...
Yea I have a big fat over priced NVidia blah blah gx whatever   $500+ card on a 64 bit OS    Win 7 Ultimate
