If you want to play on a mac, bootcamp it. Test it. It might run.
Fanboys beware: From now on if you start doing it I will ignore the post. Fanboyism ruins conversations the same way religion, science, and politics due. We're here to fawn over hawken, not other things.

I ran the alpha on mac! I just set up bootcamp as someone usually would, and then downloaded the alpha client. Worked perfectly for a while, but then I ran out of memory and it would always crash. As long as you meet those requirements (which now I see I didn't), it should be able to run on bootcamp!

A note: You an run the game on max everything with the recommended ATI GPU, not sure about the rest of that list, since mine is different(a whole lot better).

Yes, these are the recommended specs for the Closed Beta, with the obvious beta cautionary = things may change !!!!

I'll update threads if there are changes.

This may seem silly, but is there a download we can do to see if we meet the system requirements_ I have never put a game on my pc before and don't know if I have the space and what not and don't know how to check

This helps, despite not having HAWKEN on the list yet, it shows the specs of your PC (just pick a game on random and see the results, should be able to compare them with the ones posted by MerryAgony).

You can easily test this out by downloading the Free-to-Play title Tribes: Ascend, which is currently open to public.

If your machine can handle Tribes: Ascend, you should be able to run Hawken. (This is from personal experience, mind).

Alternatively, you can always just try selecting Tribes from the link Ganelon provided. The technologies used to run Tribes:Ascend should be inherently similar to Hawken (same engine, similar release dates, etc).

Hm, I wondered about the system requirements. I meet basically all the recommended specs but the game gives me mostly around 10fps.

Intel Core 2 Quad  Q9400 @2,66Ghz
ATI Radeon HD 6850 with 1024 GDDR5
4 GB RAM

Also I get the "rage-typical" texture pop ups. Although my drivers are up to date.

Could it be that the fact my GPU is optimized for DX10-11 and not 9 is causing the poor performance_ Really asked myself why Hawken is using DX9 in the first place.

I'd appreciate some feedback. :)

My friend's client is crashing and it's telling him his graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements. He has the Radeon 6670 1GB. not sure if it's GDDR3 or GDDR5.

My GTX 460 is running very smoothly on ultra. 1650x1080.

Considering his card is roughly half of my card's power, it shouldn't be having problems with this game on lower settings.

Is this happening to anyone else with a similar card_

Should run pretty decently for you, yes, but the game does still need some tuning on AMD processors. Everything else should be no problem though.

Should run slightly better for you than for SickMax, as you technically have a superior processor. (Yours is only dualcore, but Intels run games way better than AMDs.)

Upgrade the CPU and you'd be sitting pretty good. Upgrade both and you're in for fun times.
