How many times have you tried to launch Hawken_ If you've only done so once or twice, try launching it again.

Have you restarted your computer_ Do so, try to launch the game once more.

If that still doesn't work, open your Steam library, right click Hawken > properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache.

I none of those things work, come back and let us know. Make sure to add any error messages you come across.

Yeah, but dude, we are at 1750. As much as we would like to be Professional Yolodrivers like you [Meraple] and Lightangel112, we're not there yet. It's something to aspire to, sure, but there's a lot of ground to cover.

Maybe Hawken runs fine and an overzealous firewall or such is blocking it.

You can find the settings file to change your resolution : https://community.pl...on-out-of-game/

Don't set it to your screen's resolution, instead make it smaller, for example 800x600, and activate the option to play in windowed mode (or deactivate full screen)  I can't see the file as I don't have it on my computer but there should be an option for that.

If it works now, then try it with your screen's exact resolution next.

When on win8 the config files are not located as described in that link, but instead are found here: "Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\config''.
