i get kicked for idling while i wait too long for my stats and account to synch. i really enjoy hawKen. it upsets me (sad not mad) to not be able to play. i do occasionally have problems with my ISP. is it me or is it you? lets work this out. i am beginning to jones for action, only hawKen satisfies.

Pretty sure it is both ISP and Hawken related. I think what's happening is authentication packets are timing out somewhere along the line, but Hawken should have protocols in place to deal with that.  

 

Either way, what works for me sometimes is hitting F5 to bring up the console, and typing disconnect. It'll disconnect you from your current map, but it resets your connection as well. I'm usually able to rejoin at that point.

don't know if this'll help, but check your Friends list. if you have an appreciable amount of people in there (i.e.: >50) i'd recommend culling/deleting names of players you don't recall playing with recently, ones you don't even remember Friending, players that Friended you then disappeared "forever".

also collecting large numbers of mechs slows down the Dithering Data Dumbot, as well. Start an Alt account, just let the HC pile up in your Main, don't buy anything more than you critically need, and keep your garage tidy, and low occupancy.

these may individually have a small effect on your Sync times, but add up rapidly when they get choked up on a crappy ISP or low bandwidth.

good luck!

i have a full garage AND a huge friend list. i would hate to give up the garage. there are lots of superficial friends i can get rid of tho. thanks for the tip.

 

 

edit ---> reducing the number of friends worked. thanks again.

If I did not wrong, your problem is synchronization of account to log in and enter a correct game server?

If anything he said above will advance, I have this same problem on my main account, I made a new account reset with just a metch and game testing them and the problem always remains, I have no friends on the list this account yet.

I contacted support and they showed me go up to the My Documents folder, if I mistake not going to have a games folder within a folder with Hawken name. Delete this folder and try to log into the game and see if improves.

If you have settings that do not want to lose rename the folder to something else, it does not work you delete the new that is created and renamed back to that.

I hope this helps.

The ADH devs recommended wiping the Friends list, for slow ISP connections, or "Dial-Up" bandwidth type problems. The less to load up, the shorter the Syncing time. Worked for me.
