How To Play: HAWKEN

HAWKEN has been revived in Current Year, and you can play it online with a community client! Hawakening is a custom built client for the most recent build of HAWKEN before official servers were shut, and doesn't require any other external mods to funtion. It also comes with the game itself, so there's no need to try and track down an copy. You do need to make an account with the Hawakening client, but otherwise installation is very easy. Let me walk you through it anyway, in case you need it! 1. Go to the Hawakening website (https://hawakening.com/), and click the "Enlist now!" button 2. Choose a username, assign an email address to the account, and choose a password. There's no verification email once you've made an account 3. Go to the downloads tab and click "Download launcher" 4. Once the installer exe has downloaded, open your downloads folder and run it. All you need to do is choose where to save the Hawakening folder (note that this will also be where the launcher installs the game itself) 5. Run the launcher and log in with your account, and allow it to install the game After that, you're good to go! Note that you do have to pick a region to matchmake in, it won't pick a region for you. Either create a session here on Gamedate, or alternatively check the Hawakening discord to see which regions have active players, or if they're running an event. Typing /active in #bot-channel will have the bot tell you the playercount for any matchmaking region that has active players. The discord is at this link, and if you do go there, tell them you came from Gamedate! https://discord.com/invite/gNayj4UxGR Please let me know if this guide needs updating, or if there's anything you'd like me to add. I hope you have fun playing HAWKEN again!! :)
