Hello again, ma friendz!

Today we maek a revolusion!11
Ok, now seriously. I maded a config 2.0
- 70-90 stabile FPS, don't see any prob in game.
- game now no more smooth, and you literally no more "float" (now i'm strongly doubt that devs changes something in movement, probably it was only "lags" and "feelings")
- hawken loading faster (much faster)
- if you quit from game (by button or command) it take 3 second.
- don't test alt-tab, but think it should be OK.

What changes in config, and how i did it?
- If short, i disabled "streaming textures", now it can loading lil longer, but put everything im memory from start, and use it in game without loading (probably :D).
- so, try it and tell me how it working for u, if u wanna halp.
- HawkenLightmass.ini now also changed. added block for Low quality textures (i'm not sure it is need or not, but i write it :P)
- baba-ji no more sad.

1) New Download link:

2) HWK Config path in Win7-64-pro (just put 2 files here, and don't forget making a backup!)
C:\Users\@User_name@\Documents\My Games\Hawken\HawkenGame\Config

Old alpha-version

I playing with "bSmoothFrameRate=False", but if you want/need, you can change it to "true" manually in HawkenEngine. just find all 3 commands with ctrl+F in different blocks.

Bonus features: I disable "hawken movie", you no need skip it. there is no sense disabling EU, 505 logo, because without it you will look at the boring black screen and waiting while game loading. (more info in spoiler, if cinematic appear after first launch)

Spoiler

if you run game first time config don't have some commands, they added in config after launch, so.
for disable Hawken_Cinematic you should
1) Run the game once. (and then quit)
2) Open HawkenEngine.ini
3)Find this:
StartupMovies=Splash_505
StartupMovies=UE3_logo
StartupMovies=Splash_loading
;StartupMovies=Splash_hawken    <- this!
SkippableMovies=Splash_nVidia
SkippableMovies=Splash_meteor
SkippableMovies=Spash_adhesive
SkippableMovies=Splash_hawken
4) And just Delete or Comment (use ";" before command) "StartupMovies=Splash_hawken" line.
5) you also can add command "SkippableMovies=UE3_logo" and "SkippableMovies=Splash_505" manually in this block, to skip other cinematics.

Config Command which cause game crashes (in HawkenSystemSettings.ini):
AllowSubsurfaceScattering=True
if "=False", ruine map fog (that ugly sprite above skybox) and cause crash after end of match. you can change any other commands as u wish.
 

 

Feel free to leave a feedback, problems with config (if you have), and wishes, suggestions.

Maek Hapken Playable Again!...

Nepa, saving pilots running the game on potatoes once again. Who needs cavorite when we have plastic?

 

Played a match, the config does indeed work, but the movie isn't disabled for me. I had the same problem with the old plastic config, maybe there's something on my end? Also, can I change it to fullscreen, or will that mess up something?

probably, this line (StartupMovies=Splash_hawken) will be appear every time when game will be updating, even if you delete it, or comment.

I was actually able to get your og config running in test, all I had to do was delete one line. It doubled my fps!

 

From 1fps to 2fps... DX11 emulation lol

it's better than nothing. now u r king! :3


for me, game working not bad, but the problem is still in 2 GB.
old hawken use 1GB ram. now it consume all 2GB in progress, and i suppose start writing some thing on HDD, so, when game start i have very high lag about 30 sec, then game start "acceleration", and fps drop is not bad in general (mostly it drop to 40-60, but not to 10-20)

btw, i'm very interesting, can i launch hawken if i delete dx11 and install dx9? need to try in future.

Well, I wouldn't recommend it, but yes you can launch howken in dx9 using dxcpl. I'll have a write up on that here soon.

This new config seems to be a lot more 'foggy' than the original. Feels like either I have cataracts or someone is hotboxing the map. Is there a setting I can change to 'clear up' the air on the map? lol

i think it is fog which reloaded added to game, it is not config. new config have a very small difference with old configs, mostly it is not commands which affect on graphics quality.
but previously i've change lighting config too, now - not. i'll try combine lightings conf from old version later, and we see what happens.

[nepacaka]

oh, TangledMantis, probably i find what you talking about (but not sure, need a screenshot, cuz i'm not sure that understand u correctly).
check the command:
FogVolumes=False (or True)
in HawkenSystemSettings.ini

this command make game more colorized, but on my own expirience, if True - it lead to higher FPS in general and better visibility, but FPS drop can be insane. if False - FPS is lower, FPS drop is lower, but all objects look less colored (idk how explain it, just try both variants if you need).

Has anyone managed to get DX11 emulation running on an older card that only supports up to DX10.1?

[nepacaka]

config is updated, and probably close to his final version. if it working good, later i create soft-config and doom-config.
now hapken playable for me.

I tried to get emulation working. with my quad core i5 the fps was terrible. I just stopped trying to get it to work.

I'm running an old Core2Duo (3.0Ghz). It supports DX11, but barely.

with plastic or soft config?

[nabla_]

Plastic config is working well now, i use it, but soft config is better for me. When will you release plastic config?

Thx a lot
