I've gone through several iterations of troubleshooting over this issue, and have pretty much determined that there is something about the updated version of hawken that doesn't respond well on my system - at least when it comes to alt-tabbing out of the game, and then alt-tabbing back into the game.

 

is anyone else experiencing this issue? maybe there's something that I'm missing, and someone here could illuminate it

 

windowed, full screen, even borderless window - doesn't matter.

 

gfx settings, don't matter.

 

I've even gone so far to test this with one monitor - I've tried both of them separately. no diff.

 

up-to-date win10 pro.  and I had zero issues of this sort with the older versions of hawken.

yes. it is long as hell. it is pain (waiting it return back after desktop).
when i end the game by "exit" button or console "quit", it is shutdown (end a process and flush memory) about 1-2 minutes. more easy way to end game, ctrl+alt+esc and kill the process than waiting when game stop lagging my whole PC.

before patch hawken alt-tab in a several second. and launch/quit taking very short time.

What exactly do you experiment coldform? I could alt-tab out and back in but after that I began having some sort of stutter.

the game "hangs" for a long time - 30 secs or more - effectively kicking me from a match - should have stated that this is while in a lobby.

 

also, the cooldown timer for respawning in siege doesn't start until the game "catches up" - a deal breaker, IMO. this bug has been the cause of a lot of RQing from me.

I can only get as far as the Login screen...once I attempt to enter my password it cancels out before I can complete it ( password will not accept any numbers) and return me back to the Login where one enters the tab for either a new account or to sign in with a Legacy account.

There I'm stuck and the only option to get out is to use ( ctrl, Alt, Del )....which then takes me back to the task mgr and exiting out to Windows.....

 

Can't even get into the game...still submitting support tickets with no answer as of yet.

I used to have issues tabbing back into game pre-Howken. The game would go black and the only way to fix it was restarting my PC. Is you issue anything like that?

OMG thank god this thread is here. Yeah im getting horrible lags between rounds and I used to be able to alt-tab and do different things , but now no way.  I get a lost connection by the time the game finally responds. I tried different gfx settings and nothing. Even when I dont do anything and it's switching intot he next map it just becomes unresponsive.

 

If anyone knows a fix post it. Im running windowed mode.

I am running two monitors (not for the game, just that I have two)... and I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

 

Since the big update, everytime I start the Hawken.exe and have been signed into the game for about 30 seconds, the game window closes and a message from Windows pops up about "Would you like to change your color scheme... gives the three choices of 'keep current scheme, use Windows basic, etc.'...  if you continue to experience performance issues..."

 

I wasn't having any issues, thanks for asking.

To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

I get the same thing too, however, from what research I've personally done, it seems to be not related to Hawken in general but rather, ANY 64 bit Unreal Engine 3/3.5 game since the same thing happens in Killing Floor 2, Mortal Kombat X, Outlast 2, XCOM 2, Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition, and Batman Arkham Knight. However after it "recovers" LatencyMon showed Hawken to be hardpage faulting to an extreme with very slow resolution time which is causing the sound to stutter and ingame VoIP to stop working all together.

my freeze fest lasts until i ctr-alt-del it, and completely log out of my computer.  i actually sat and waited for 90 seconds once just to see if it was a permanent lockup or not.  and Tab-Alt does not work at all, at any time while logged into hawken.  3 finger salute is the only way out.

 

edit:  one exception--i OC'd the cpu 5% to 4.2, and the gpu clock +10% to 880/+18% overpower rate.  this results in 30 to 60 seconds long freezes like you receive which is absolutely a game-breaker.  this is an AMD 8350 box, it's summer here, and when a lockup occurs the fans really start howling.

I played about 5 games this afternoon, and I got varying levels of lag spikes in-between matches, and sometimes while switching mechs in game.  Otherwise, everything ran great for me, considering the last time I played Hawken was in November 2015.

Period.

Try not alt-tabbing out! Do a Shift+Tab then just move the cursor off the program!

Need a fix for this. The game hangs on syncing even when you dont tab out, just getting tot he next map it freezes.

it still starts hanging the moment that hawken no longer has system focus.

 

update: I've done a complete wipe and reload on my PC, and still see this issue.

 

specs:

 

Win10 pro
AMD FX 8320 on FX990 chipset
32 GB DDR3

2x SSDs

rx 480 8GB
