So heres the dealio. Me and a buddy are doing that family share on Steam. He has Hawken and told me to download it and play with him. So i did,but when i downloaded it it didnt go into my library. It counted it as i am sharing it from his library even though its a free to play game and i downloaded from the store. So the problem became that we couldnt play it together becaue i was "sharing it from him" and when he got on it Steam kicks me off. Team Fortress 2 is a free to play that he and i both have and can play together at the same time so i dont know why Hawken isnt working. I hope that made sense, help me smart people! That would be awesome!

If worse comes to worse you can always launch Hawken from the exe file instead of from steam.

Same as what Merl said basically (except the phrase is "worst comes to worst" :P).  Find the game folder and just make a shortcut to the .exe file and launch from that.  It doesn't require you to be logged in to Steam at all.

 

I honestly hope they change that soon to help with the rampant plague of alt accounts... but I do like not having to run Steam to play.

To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Relative to wherever your steam library is:

 

 

X:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Hawken\Binaries\Win32\HawkenGame-Win32-Shipping.exe
