As it says in the topic title the game crashes to desktop.
Specifically it crashes the moment I get into the garage before joining a match

This is really bumming me out because I have been wanting to play this game for quite some time.. now that I finally can I can't even play it
I really don't want to miss out on this beta weekend and would really love to try this game out!

Please post your specs of your computer so we can help you out better. Crashes can be anything from your end to the game.

Processor: Intel Core Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4CPUs), ~2.4GHz
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit (6.1, Build 7600)
GPU: nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+
DirectX Version : 11
RAM: 4096MB

I'm not sure what else I need to put here aside from possible images I can take. This is from the dxdiag

[Axiom]

It happens every single time I enter the garage before actually joining a game..

[SilentCid]

According to your dxdiag data your current Windows build doesn't have Service Pack 1 which it's build 7601. Please update to this first which may fix your problem.

We needed this installed first before we go on. Most programs now a days will get picky if that wasn't installed. Now if you can please go back to dxdiag and in the display 1 tab what version number in the drivers box say_

What the stop code translate too is that Windows was trying to reset the graphic card drivers but timed out after while.  Just to be safe I recommend going to dxdiag and posting your version number of your video card drivers. You can find this by going to the display1 tab in dxdiag.

Another suggestion you can try before checking with dxdiag is go to your install folder of Hawken which should be Program Files (x86)MeteorEntertainmentHawkenInstalledHawkenFilesHawkenGameConfig. Click on the .ini file called DefaultSystemSettings and change the following:

• Change ResX=1280 (or whatever it has for default) to the max width of your monitor. Mine is 1920 so I have it as ResX=1920.
  
• Change ResY=720 which is similar to ResX, but this time change it to the vertical height of your monitor. Mine for example is resY=1080.

Change these settings by taking out the trues to false.

Motionblur=True
DepthOfField=True
AmbientOcclusion=True
Bloom=True

Motionblur=False
DepthOfField=False
AmbientOcclusion=False
Bloom=False

That should help I'm hoping.

Did that fix the problem for you_ If not have you tried to change the ini file mentioned here to turn off some of the features off and manually adjust your resolutions_

Please post your computer specs and if possible post what you have on dxdiag similar to what Axiom did.

I have not tried it yet but now I have a new problem. Can't join any game at all and many servers show up as -1/-1 players. Even the servers with vacant spots

Manage dto join a game but the problem still persists. Crashes as soon as I get into the garage before a match

Well I finally got the game to work. Had to reduce the graphics quality in order for it to work despite my PC being able to handle it well for every other game..

Glad you're able to fix the game and at least be able to play.
