Really floored I just joined and downloaded that game. I am amazed that the team is so vocal in the forums and keeping everyone up to date! That is so epic in this day and age. Thanks!

If someone has your password and can get in at the launcher, then how is having to put the password in again in game going to stop anyone_
In your scenario, it wouldn't.

We're just as eager to get folks back into the game as everyone else is to climb back into their mechs! Hope to have things underway in a few minutes.

Ok, but why disable the paste function. My password is too long for me to remember. I always paste my passwords in.

during the update me and a friend were logged in and he bought the new mech could that have messed it up_

Maybe someone is in a LAN House and forgot the logged-in Hawken Launcher opened. Anyone could log-in in your account.

I'm not seeing how this adds any level of account security then. >_> I'm not trying to be flippant. I'm just legitimately curious.

It seems redundant having to input our passwords twice.. unless we have a PIN system as a secondary authorization instead.
You will not have to enter your password twice. The launcher will no longer have a login pane.

You don't, the launcher has been updated so that you don't have to sign in. The only sign-in is once you're in the game.

Yes the launcher does not anymore, but the full screen game login box does not allow paste in of password. Why_ and can this be allowed please.

That's great news. One more thing that I am curious about is why our settings reset every patch_ Is this intended_
