Hey everyone,

I'm unsure if the long Syncing times are standard for a new account, but it's taking a LONG time. I've let the mech garage sync for over 20 minutes to no avail.

Any ideas/suggestions_

Thanks!

Make sure you don't have any firewall or proxy software installed that would be interfering with Hawken. Note that you need to make sure the firewall contains exceptions for both the Hawken launcher and (Hawken folder)binariesWin32HawkenGame-Win32-Shipping.exe (which is the actual game). Proxy software like Winpcap seems to interfere even if it's disabled and likely needs to be uninstalled.

It's also possible that it might be a temporary server-side issue, so try closing the client and starting again.

What about opening a port for Hawken_ I'm running a router at the moment.

Also, it synced just fine for everything else. It's just the stats tab and the mech garage that it gets hung up on.

Here are the ports to forward, according to Meteor. Strangely, I haven't opened these and it works for me, and I've got UPNP disabled. But, worth a try.

Opening ports for outgoing traffic on a router is silly and uneeded. Routers block traffic coming in not out unless that router has been setup with veryyyyy specific firewall rules which of consumer grade routers I have never seen.

Like I said, it works for me and I haven't opened those ports. (I actually have 7777 assigned to something entirely different.)

Some firewall software has been badly behaved with Hawken.

Hmm, okay. I think I figured it out. Thank you for the timely responses.

Also, one more thing, is there any way to reduce the "bouncyness" of the game_

Well, there's the cockpit lag setting, which is kind of similar to headbob.

I tried that as well, to no avail. I'm actually getting motion sickness. First time that's ever happened to me from a game.

Some firewall software has been badly behaved with Hawken.

Software firewalls are completely different than a hardware router and are more prone to causing issues because people just randomly say no and accidently blocking something.
