This looks sweet as hell. It screams for Eyefintiy Support.

Gave it a shot using one of 10,000 redeem code - "AlphaDog"

Detects and applies multi-monitor resolution fine, but World FOV and cockpit FOV are vert-.

Opening HawkenEngine.ini and changing the line "AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV" to "AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV" fixed the external world view, but the cockpit view remains untouched and unusable. So close, yet so far.

Sure, it's still at "alpha 2" stage, so I certainly can't hold it against them, but... I'm skeptical.

I can confirm this using nvidia surround. You can select your res in game, but like a lot of unreal engine games, it's vert- Exactly like transformers etc. It will be awesome in surround (like every freaking game) but yeah I did put in a suggestion for it. I don't know how Hayden and Helifax etc do their magic with this engine. I've looked through the *.ini file and I only know some basic stuff....I'm not sure if it's even possible to adjust the FOV within the *.ini file. I did find a section that allows for secondary monitors, but yeah.

Thanks for the heads up on the alpha code, Abram. I tried it out and it's disappointing that Hawken is yet another vert- Unreal engine game. I sure hope that Unreal Engine 4 natively supports hor+ behavior if it's anywhere near as highly adopted as Unreal Engine 3 has been.

Hmm how can I get a copy of the game? I would like to give it a try and maybe I can fix the Surround/Eyefinity problems for it:) I did sign up but cant seem to find a way to download the alpha/beta etc:)

Anyone knows?

Have you tried "AlphaDog"? I signed up a few weeks ago but never god a code. I searched for "Hawken Codes" and came across n article at IGN with saying that AlphaDog should be good for 10k redemptions. I also read on the forums that simply asking for a code on those forums has worked for some. Mention that you use a multi-monitor setup (even if you don't), as that may help your chances . I didn't even see when it was posted, but it worked for me.

Justg sign up at teh forums, and after logging in at the main Hawsken page, you should see "Redeem Code" at top-right.


Some .ini files have a a couple other FOV instances, but messing with those haven't improved the cockpit. There's also a couple threads on their forums about it. I guess I'll try again with the eBeta.

I had to try AlphaDog several times before it worked for me. It was originally returning some nasty looking errors.

Hey there:)

Tried it again and it worked:) I managed to download the game and install it. I will have a look at it in the following day:) I hope I will be able to fix some aspects from it if not all the issues:)

Best Regards,
Helifax
