EDIT1: The title is a little bit misleading. The "black screen" means that the Hawken launcher crashes after starting.

 

Two days before I have played Hawken without any problems. Today I wanted to start it, but after starting the launcher the loading screen runs black and the mouse went to a loading symbol (circle). Nothing happens after this and I can only close the window with the task manager. Just after starting the task manager I get the following error message:

Failed to create the D3D9 Device! This can happen if the desktop is locked. Exiting...

Can anyone help me?

 

 

EDIT2: I did the mentioned points in the thread https://community.pl...1-common-fixes/ and the last point (Windows update of the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 für Windows 7 x64-basierte Systeme (KB2901983)) helps!

 

 

Therefore: FIXED & CLOSED!

Try setting your resolution manually as explained over here and run the game in windowed mode (use the "-windowed" launch parameter). If that works you can try running the game in borderless window mode or in fullscreen.
