I was going to post this as a direct message to support, but I wanted to see if any others noticed similar issues.

 

To put it simply, my FPS shits the bed whenever I play MA. Specifically, maps like Origin, Wreckage, and Facility seem to give me the most issues and drop my fps down to sub 50 with all settings on the lowest possible. Conversely, my FPS is at a constant 90+ on max settings on every other map and gamemode besides MA (which just so happens to be TPG s3  :wallbash: )

 

Does anyone else have similar issues? If so, what processor/GPU are you running?

Cause you're all a bunch of filthy lowbies who have never experienced the thrill of gaming on your outdoor love seat.

I'm trying to track down the ".ini config tweaks." Maybe someone can help us out! Tweaking your .ini would definitely improve your performance.

Based off ethos videos I believe he uses it. I've heard that the config offers a pretty minimal fps increase, and the affects of the config itself honestly looks like a direct hindrance to visibility.

It has to be something with the Silos constantly shooting or something with the gamemode itself. If you hear anything let me know

It's the firing of the missiles. All the smoke and particles may cause your performance to drop. You can use the plastic HAWKEN config but still keep the mechs with texture and all. eth0 knows how to do this.

I run a laptop that isn't even considered "gaming". In fact I usually have to operate on wifi b/c my hardline is actually less consistent. Then again I'm not the top player in the game.

 

What I have noticed is that my FPS in MA is fine, but FPS in servers with more than 12 players, or 66t servers, is absolute shite.

@Dave. I don't know what you are running (according to Nept, not a game Laptop, hehe) but if you have nVidia, you can go the the settings (global or hawken specific) and play with some stuff. Usually there is a tutorial on what might cause specific lags/crashes/bugs/etc. 

 

For example Vsync is a big trouble maker at some games. Don't ask me why, just experience o:

Vsync sucks usually because if your game runs at a higher framerate than your screen's frequency then it's just wasted processing power, lots of it. Might as well select higher AA.

Never experienced such issue. Platform he's playing doesnt matter. I assume u tried various version of graphic drivers, right? I mean VARIOUS not NEWEST. I refuse to use uh-oh-this-fuzzy bunny-will-incrase-fps-by-100000. One of newest drivers for my gtx 660 (along with i5 3570 3.4GHz) messed with sound etc. If curious i'm using 344.48 version. Without some stupid "features" such as nvidia experience or sth, and everything works fine, 99% of time above 50 or 60 FPS i dont remeber now. 1% drop to 30-40. Everything @ High. I actually switched particles OFF, because those beautifull shield effect making stuff less visible.

To do Dark Hawken, you use the plastic Hawken .ini file and then set textures to ultra (or high). You must then restart the game. It makes things look darker and kinda like the old Hawken.

Browse to ...Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config and look for a file called "HawkenSystemSettings".  Make a copy of this file as a backup.  Replace the text in the file with the plastic hawken text.
