I really don't have much details about this, simply that over the past two weeks, whenever I try to launch Hawken, it doesn't seem to work. I can click on the Hawken icon pinned onto my task bar, but whenever I try to click 'Launch', it doesn't redirect me to the game. Any tips_ ,._.,

You can try launching the game directly:
Go to "[install disk]Program Files (x86)MeteorEntertainmentHawkenInstalled Hawken FilesBinariesWin32" and launch HawkenGame-Win32-Shipping.exe.

Darn, you beat me to it.

@OP: That won't actually fix the launcher problem, but it might get you into the game since it allows you to skip the launcher altogether.

Is this a known problem, and is there any permanant solution to this_

Depends on what is causing the issue. Someone had this issue when he was using win 8.1, and had to roll back to win 8. Others had to terminate a program running on their computer called lingvo, to fix the launcher.
In other words: there is no single fix because the problem can arise under different circumstances for different people.

Asuno, Try this.

Also, this

II:  Delete the .version files
1. Go to: C:Program Files (x86)MeteorEntertainmentHawkenInstalledHawkenFiles
2. Delete "HawkenLauncher.version"
3. Restart the launcher.


The first part will reset your ini files, and the second suggestion will try to snag the latest launcher.

If you want to do a full redownload and reinstall, you can delete the "Hawken.version" file in the  same directory as the "HawkenLauncher.version" file.
