To further lower your graphics go to: C:\Users\Eric\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config and open up the .ini file named SystemSettings.

Here you'll find a list of different graphical settings with a value to their right, I'm going to tell you the values I changed in my SystemSettings file to help myself better run the game.

Keep in mind that if you change something and try to run the game and all you see is black or something similar to that effect you can set your SystemSettings to default by deleting all of the contents inside of the Config folder and restarting the game.

Anyway, here you go. Please share which settings you have changed or configurations you know of that will make the game run smoother as well.


DynamicLights=False
DynamicShadows=False
LightEnvironmentShadows=False
Motionblur=False
DepthOfField=False
AmbientOcclusion=False
Bloom=False
Distortion=False
FilteredDistortion=False
ScreenPercentage=100.000000 This can be changed to any value from 50-90. The lower it is, the lower resolution your game will be, but your interface and text will remain at what resolution you have set. Keep in mind this can mess up the position of your minimap/crosshairs in which case you would want to set it back at 100.

With these .ini adjustments and all of my in-game settings set to be as low as possible I still have sub-par FPS on every map besides Sahara with these PC specs:
