This downtime has ended early! The new patch (38MB) can be automatically downloaded via the launcher.

Attention test pilots,

The HAWKEN Closed Beta servers will be taken offline at 4:00 PM Pacific for about two hours to address the issues that players are experiencing such as server connectivity. A new patch will automatically be downloaded via the launcher when Closed Beta service resumes.

If you're unfamiliar with beta tests, the purpose behind these events is to discover issues and address them before a game formally launches. You're helping us make HAWKEN the best mech-'em-up free-to-play shooter it can be from day one of Open Beta on December 12, 2012.

We greatly appreciate your understanding during these outages and technical headaches. Your patience speaks to the quality of the HAWKEN community and for that we thank you. During the downtime, please provide your feedback on the Closed Beta forums.

Keep being awesome and know that we're actively working to get you back in the fight ASAP.

Hopefully so, but don't forget that progress will be wiped with the end of the Beta anyways, so as not to make an unfair environment for new players when officially released.

We'll be relying on the community to educate new arrivals in those threads by linking them here. :)

I'm not sure what you meant here, but perception of the game and community for the influx of players is a big deal for when the game is finally green-lighted.

Darn it. Midnight to 2am in the Uk so guess I'll have to go to bed and try again in the morning, glad to see the fixes coming although I have been lucky and played loads of games on all the servers without issues - except not being very good, lol!!

This is gonna rock everyone's notion of what a mech based game is. Game in Alfa was like best alfa in history. I'm sure you'll be the best mech game out there, better than p2p and f2p. Keep the great job guys :)

This is the best mech game that I've ever played, being able to help make it even better is a huge honor. Take your time guys. I know it has to stressful for your whole team right now. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say good job so far and keep up the good work. :)

Im really hooked on this game. Great gameplay, controls, mods etc etc etc and more! This is on my MY HAVE list and will prob be upgrading RAM and tweaking the video card to play this on my 46" LCD.

Great job to the developers - home run and cant wait for the Beta to come back online.
