Hello Hawken players!
I heard about this game 2 days ago from a friend and it's absolutely amazing. I just can't stop playing it. Anyway, whenever I repair my mech and when the round finishes the screen goes black, stays like that for a few seconds, and then it goes back to normal, and the the process repeats until I stop repairing or when the GUI loads in after the end of a match.
PC Specs:
(It's a laptop actually)
Intel i7 Quad Core 2.50 Ghz
Nvidia GTX GeForce 870M
12 GB RAM
Windows 10

Yes, I've updated my graphics drivers and I put everything on minimum settings. This has never happened before so I think it is a problem with HAWKEN, not my computer or steam.

Never heard of this problem before.

 

Either way, you can submit a support ticket here (from my experience the devs usually take 3-5 days to respond): https://hawken.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

 

Have fun!

OK, I just did that. Thanks for your help, and btw, nobody has apparently heard of this problem (I have googled it soooooo many times)

Did you modify your ini's at all?

 

I'd delete them and let the game rebuild them correctly.  Something in the back of my mind tells me you've edited them, and turned off the loading animations and some other setting that could be the culprit.  If not then just do the following anyways, as sometimes the game does randomly corrupt the ini's for some unknown reason.

 

First exit Hawken and validate the files from steam, that will make sure you didn't edit the wrong ini files in the first place.

 

Then navigate to "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\" and rename the "Config" folder to "ConfigBackup" and restart Hawken.

i have had random mabey once a week moments where upon repairing/launching/dying in the midst of the special effects my screen goes very dark like only a certain part of the lighting went dark not all evenly, it also only fixes itself when the round ends

Workaround: Load your mech with the repair orbs and put on the internals for 25% more health from orbs.  You can use what folks call the "orb-lord" build to avoid having to go into repair mode.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

My first thought is that you have the repair key bound to a button that also does something else. 

 

Do other players repairing on screen cause issues? I would verify the install with steam and possibly trying a different driver version.

 

EDIT: I'm dumb.
