What's the big fuzzy bunnyng deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.
Try launching it using the exe in your installation directory, this way you don't need steam to start the game.
steamapps/common/hawken/binaries/win32
I think is the standard structure... Just in case

none of that worked, but thanks.
I wiped out the hawken directory in steam and the one in My Games. That forced a fresh install, and that got rid of whatever was poisoning the launch.
So the game runs just fine now; it's the current mood of the battlefield that is still getting worse. I repeatedly try to find a game to enjoy and fail; it's as if some group is Trying to drive the PC community away for good; some group wants to shut it down. Playing is not fun in what was the most-fun game I've ever played, but not in a while now; every game has a bully (you tell me why 1 out of 12 players gets 600-1000 TDM game points, when ALL other players do not reach 100????) that sucks the fun out of every game on the server. There is one in every game; now there's a new twist, the in-your-face hacker, all mouth and taunts and sexist insults and - for a moment I thought Trump was in-game - stealing all the kills - for real - by using a scout and a speed hack and a one-shot kill/aimbot - or excuse me, oh disbelievers, the Apollos of FPS, simply using their personally-developed-ego-fueled-talent, just playing the game Very Well, that get to the mechs before anyone else, kill them instantly, and get super-point bonuses for it; now they've taken to blatant insults and challenges in the rudest of language.
Not fun. A game killer. A sure way to see Hawken FAIL.
I cannot do anything about it, as there is a rumor of reporting not actually accomplishing anything, and it's a bigger problem than some users getting pissed off and frustrated, it's a pervasive program to end this game. FUN FAIL.
I don't do consoles, so maybe that's the direction for the game;we can take it, after all, look how long we've waded through the mired mess Hawken was left in, with distant shouts of backroom work - read 'console work' - to get to here, where we're just trying to have fun, and instead getting pummeled and bullied, and called silly and can't take it, and ** off, etc.
Well I hope something changes for the better, as it's been nothing but bad and badder now for years. I really want to play this game, but solo map exploration is getting really thin. The few TDM one is able to find, all have a bully on the bus. DMs are gone from Europe. Is it really over for the PC?
For all you people who can, drink.

You haven't noticed it for the over 6 months it's been in my sig?

backup your configs by entering (either in start or in cmd.exe):
xcopy /I "%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config" "%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\backupconfig"
and then erase the configs so a fresh set is created next launch:
del /F /Q "%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config"
btw the /Q means quiet mode (remove annoying "press y are you sure" stuff and /F forces erasing read only files and often we do make our configs read only to prevent the game from overwriting configs if you are curious as to what those two switches meantand %HOMEPATH% is a variable leading to C:/Users/yourlogin
and this method is widely used to repair glitches just like this and note that it wont do any good to reinstall hawken if these files are not also reinstalled (uninstall+reinstall will NOT touch these configs you must do it manualy. (mabey a hawken dev could put in a word to get the hawkens installer to have an option at least to refresh these files?))
