OFFICIAL: PC Feedback/Bug Report

[SneAkzz]

Please post your bugs and glitches inside this topic. Feedback will also be accepted. This topic is supposed to give the developpers a look at everything that should be fixed in a future patch.

NOTE: This is not a topic to solve your windows problems, this is supposed to be for the In-Game bugs.

Most important problems so far:
- Joystick dead zone issues.
- Random missile and flare launches (probably caused by voice command problems)
- Mission 7: Screen turning black
- Several DirectX 10 problems
- Saitek X-52 Crash bug
- Voice actor can't be heard through some sound devices.
- Ground acts like water, (when crashing into it a water splash appears instead of an explosion.
- Minor zooming bug in hangar.
- Windows 7 Beta problems.
- Games bought through Steam can't get patched with the released 1.01 patch.
- People are unable to find multiplayer games, sometimes it crashes when trying to get in one.
- regular game crashes with the error: Saved dump file to C:./.../hawx.exe.dmp
- unrealistic speeds and very high minimum speed.

In mission xx you'll get a training course for OFF mode then maybe you can go OFF in Free flight..

Update: Tried for myself and No Problemo to go 'OFF' in free flight.
Just play the campain untill Off training and your off...
(nice pun)

[SneAkzz]

@Gypsy816: Thanks! =D It's a pleasure to do something good for the community =D

@Zembla8400: That's already known, being caused by problems with voice command, I'll add it

@Lazzard: Are you sure you push the CTRL button at the left side of you keyboard? Only that CTRL button will make you switch modes

[StylezZ00]

I cant hear voices at all.
the computer or from players online.

Whats going on?

[SKiLZ862801]

Anyone's mouse kinda jumpy? mine doesn't flow smooth on the menus I had the same problem with the demo

[StylezZ00]

am i suppose to hear the computer and player voices on my headset?

you might have disabled the voice command, look at the controls menu and look which button is needed to turn it on again (I have a joystick so don't know that without taking a look)

[BD-GhostEye]

No option to unlock VIP planes anywhere apparently?

[StylezZ00]

Not voice command
Im talking about the computer. My wingmen for example, I don't hear them talking to me when i see their image on the top left.

I just found out that I have to set up my headset as my default playback device to hear them. This sux because I want to use my speakers...

Im kinda being forced to use my headset since its the only way i can hear voices.

[heatmiser]

I'm hesitant to buy HAWX mainly because of the joystick deadzone issue. Did the developers even notice the qualms people had in this forum about the deadzone issue in the demo? If so, why wouldn't they have fixed this for the full release? Or was it too complex of a problem to resolve, and now must be relegated to a hypothetical patch?

A poor deadzone really hampers the playability with a joystick, which I think is the best control method for a flight sim (even for some arcadey ones).

[auroricshiva]

What joystick do you use? Ive been hearing some Saitek ones are having problems.

My ATTACK 3 Logitech one has no problems at all.

[SLH1972]

I own a siatek X52, dead zones make game unplayable. Very dissatisfied with this product so far, and the only reason is the deadzones. I will have to wait until all deadzones are fixed before I can play.

[THS-Tritonb]

Vista 64 bit ultimate
Intel Core 2 Duo e8500 processor
SLI - Nvidia GTX 280OC's

EVGA 750I ftw motherboard.

Installed on D:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X

In game I have tried with AA = off , AA = 2x,4,8x,etc.

I have User Account Control off now in Vista and it still doesn't work.

1st problem: It didn't create shortcuts in Vista or menu items.
2nd problem: When I goto D:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X and run HAWX_dx10.exe and I go to create profile and hit Apply the game crashes.
3rd Problem: If I try to put HAWX.exe in XP SP2 Compatibility mode and run it I can get clear into the versus, ranked, custom match, click search to find servers and then it crashes to desktop.

So basically I can't play Multiplayer at all from I can tell.

Any ideas?

[SKiLZ862801]

I dunno did you get the lastest updates/drivers for your video card? i have the ati 1300 and i dont have any problem with vista but i have to run the dx9 version i get an error with the dx10 saying i need to reinstall

I also have a siatek but its the $20 one st290 i think it is but i have no trouble/ deadzones with it but the problem i do have is it's very touchy lol like if you just put your hand on it your plane will do a loop so i've just been using the xbox360 controller

[THS-Tritonb]

I have the latest vid drivers...that didn't help. I'm trying the latest sound card drivers now.

UBISOFT support , called them, they said they don't support anything newer than a GeForce 9000 series, I have the 280 and they said it wasn't tested with the game!!!! LOL, can you imagine, not tested with 260's, 280's, 295's, etc? wtf?

I have a Saitek Cyborg Evo. It's a pretty decent joystick. I haven't run into many noticeable deadzone issues in the past.

[rabin111]

DX10 black screen when starting the game
Sometime when I start the game I get black screen but I can hear Ubisoft intro.

DX10 ALT+TAB problem
Sometime when I'm playing in DX10 and hit ALT+TAB to the desktop, I can't see any HAWX window at the taskbar to restore it.

DX10 swap to desktop
Sometime when I start the flight, before I can press ESC to start the game. The game may swap screen to desktop, so I need to restore the game window by myself.

[StylezZ00]

sometimes my plane is forced on a direction
-im not touching anything and my plane will be pulling to the right...

its not my joystick, i unplugged it and the issue continued.

I can still move the plane, but it will keep pulling on the direction it wants if i dont pull the opposite way.

[UnknownTarget]

No DX10 enabling for Steam copy of game.

Game crashes after account creation if not running in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode on Vista 64 bit Ultimate.

Game crashes to desktop when attempting to find a game.

[mastra2005]

still the same x-52 crash problem that was present in the demo...damn I though they would have fixed that...this sux!

anyone find a solution to this?

[D_Baine]

Steam version doesn't install into Games Explorer on Vista x64 so no way to enable dx10 mode.

Game crashes with a DING windows error when selecting a profile on vista x64. The event viewer shows this:
The program HAWX.exe version 0.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 13f8 Start Time: 01c9a82bbc11bf87 Termination Time: 64

[errantlythought]

(Steam version)

During installation, the Microsoft .net program fails during the third operation. After failing, the program will run.

Single player runs fine (dx9)

Multiplayer causes a windows error and a window in the background citing that it has created a dump file, the program becomes unresponsive or crashses immediately after this.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled dot net, set the .exe into XP SP2 compatibility, administrator, etc.

I'm having the same issues. I am using the downloaded version of game. I preordered through Ubisoft.

I'm running Vista SP1 64Bit
Nvidia 9800 w/1024 MB Memory
4 GB System Memory.

[kraeven]

game crashes and error reports "saved dump file to c:/.../hawx.exe.dmp".

any solutions or probable causes for this?

[exovadis]

Hey,
So I own a saitek X52 and it is not a deadzone issue that I have its a game loading issue.

When the control;er is connected the game freeze to the ESRB. I hear a *bip* sometimes but cannot see any message my only solution was to alt-del the process.

I have try connecting the controller after booting the game but the game does not see it.
I have a steam version of the game running windows XP pro, AMD Phenom 9950, GF8800GTS, 3.5G of ram DDR2. I know there is a patch 1.1 but I'm unable to install ether so I'm unsure if this has been fixed in it but I do not believe so from what I have read.

[Keiichiz0r]

REPRODUCIBLE BUG

First, finish playing a multiplayer game. Then, go to continue your single player campaign. Once the mission has loaded, the game will ask you to hit ESC to continue, but no matter how many times you hit ESC the game will not respond and so you're stuck on that screen.

Was able to get this to happen three times in a row.

[skyosu]

i'm having problem with the sound. i can't hear the voice actor in the game during missions. i can see the picture of people talking but i can't hear what they are saying. i'm using the motherboard sound card. which is Realtek HD audio. please fix this...

+1 Goes sweet

[SneAkzz]

Ok, updated the front page a little bit. Please remember that this topic is just for Game issues and not issues with your PC. If you don't know either your problem is game based or based on your PC, please first look for others who have the same problem as you have. If you find a lot with the same problem, it's probably a game bug and worth posting. If you don't find any other persons with the same bug, it might be a problem with your PC.

Keep in mind that problems while starting up the game are mostly PC problems. (with exceptions)

[Arcon4]

Does everyone understand the "dead spot" issue? If you're saying that "I Have no joystick problems (Logitech Extr3D PRO)" without trully understanding the problem, then you're just adding to the frustration that most (if not all) joystick users are having.

The problem is that it takes a lot of side to side and forward and backward movement to get the planes to respond in game.

If you're not experiencing this, then let us know what you've done differently with your setup.

[Pretorian2]

Can't believe i didn't see this thread. Anyway, just repeating the problem me and a few others have had with regards to coop. After an invite has been sent trying to join the coop game will result in nothing happening. Clicking join you hear the sound but nothing actually happens. No 'connecting' screen or anything to tell me what its doing.

Oh and btw I can confirm that not all joystick users are having problems with the dead zone, I had it in the demo, but for my joystick, The Thrustmaster Flight Stick X it seemed to be better in the full version.

Seemed to be? Is it or is it not better?

[Joxer17uk2000]

Well I got my copy today.

First run: Got into the 1st Mission, destroyed first three tanks and then game slowed down, textures went crazy and glitched, sound went all stuttery and I had to close the game down using ctrl-alt-del.

Second run: Got to main menu, all control of the menu froze, background glitched. Had to close game down using ctrl-alt-del.

I played the demo through about six times on this same PC and had no problems at all. Ran perfectly.

I have downloaded patch.

Not looking great so far.

EDIT: Updated to the latest 182.08 Nvidia Drivers and disabled Voice Commands and so far seem to be working again. Upto mission 3 now with no problems.

[errantlythought]

Update: (Steam Version, .Net Error / Multiplayer broken)

Still no luck. Have now uninstalled and reinstalled .net 3.5 sp1 from windows update. Game still crashes to a .dmp file on any attempt to use a multiplayer function.

EDIT: I'll post my personal bug also,

My bug is that when I land onto the ground it gives me a water splash, like i've landed in the water instead of on the ground. When I land on a 3D building i get a fire explosion like it should and sometimes just nothing...

So, didn't you try to just fly in a straight line and for example tap the stick? if the plane reacts as soon as the joystick tilts then it's good. if you can tilt it a few degrees before anything happens, then it's bad.

I tried reinstalling it today, because i thought that i couldn't play it before the 19th. The demo ran PERFECTLY, and i have tried to reinstall today, but it's still the same, when i launch the game from gamespy, i see the launch trailer, and then it freezes... according to the game, after i installed it, my computer meets all the requirements just fine.

Sound keeps randomly disappearing not all the sound though I can still hear missile launches and cannon fire but no warning sounds or wingman or mission briefings.

This happends randomly for no reason I can find.

download the manual patch, look at the sticky topics to find it.

[Xenexodus]

Thanks SneAkzz for making this thread.

I've found one minor bug I don't believe has been listed yet.

In the Plane selection screen, I cannot zoom the camera in and out as the directions show on the right bottom corner. I can rotate the cam with the left mouse button, but the middle mouse wheel only changes the planes. I've tried holding down the left mouse button while doing it, and holding in the middle mouse button whilst scrolling... no effect. Anyone else notice this?

EDIT: I've also tried holding in the middle mouse and moving the mouse forwards, backwards...etc... (noticed this bug in the demo as well)

Hi.
It sounds like your monitor may be going out of range from default setting in the game? (not sure) What is your desktop resolution? Maybe try reducing your desktop resolution until you get in the game and fix it from there?

The game seem to time out while trying to login and it is not possible to cancel or exit the game normally.
Personally I'm running windows 7 beta, so that might be a problem but seems not very likely when the game has launched correctly.

Any ideas to this would be greatly appreciated!

This is exactly what I meant in my earlier post. If your joystick has to move nearly half way between the centre (neutral) and to the full left, right, front, or back to get the plane to bank or pitch, then that's a problem. The plane should react to the slightest joystick movement. Every other flight combat sim I've played allows for very precise joystick controls.

[Arcon4]

I'm also running windows 7 beta and I have the exact same problem. Are vista and xp people experiencing the same problems?

I too am also running the Windows 7 beta and running into the same problem. Might I ask, though, why was my original thread deleted?

[iliedobre]

I read this thread and , personally I don't have (not ONE !) of these technically problems exhibits here.But that is not why I am here...
I am here for the feedback part...
HAWX looks impressive I give it that but this is just and arcade game for kids.It's kind of STUPID to be able to make such impressive graphic engine and use it for stupid games like HAWX...
I am a flight sim fun and I remember all aircraft sims played in the past (F-22 ADF made by Digital Image design , one of the best military sim ever)...It's such a shame we don't see these days old games with these engine.Well maybe you'll say..."people won't buy it and money is what get a business running" But how about "Tomb Raider Anniversary"? Anyone? I would love to see old aircraft sims revived with such a marvel kind of graphic engine.Nobody made a decent Flakland /Malvine conflict aircraft sims...
I remember an old aircraft sim made by some israelian ex pilots, called "Jane's IAF: Israeli Air Force".It was clever built , with original missions from those moments(1967 war, 1973 war etc)...I would like to see those good old sims with this kind of engine...Question is...WHEN?

[exovadis]

Hey again,
So I posted about the X-52 dump error and I confirm with numerous attempts, reinstall and such it does not work for me and many other person.

Now my main concern is that people that have bought the game trough STEAM have no way of installing the patch. Nether the download or cd version patch will install.
Because of that Ubi might get a lot of miss-information about what is not working and I am not to blame the user for saying what is wrong but without a good knowledge of who is using what version I think the debug will take much more time.
Therefor I suggest everyone posting a bug to tell if they have the retail version a download version or the steam version, I know it might sound crazy but they are not always running in the same way for some odd reason I do not understand.

[MadSpec]

Cant connect/see any online games ....

[errantlythought]

(Steam version, Dotnet Framework issue)

Still nothing. Updated all drivers, no joy. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft .Net Framework, game now recognizes that it has been installed. Game runs, but any attempt to get into a multiplayer game immediately causes a COD and a dump file.

So many people in this and other forums expressed their dissatisfaction with the precision of movement with a joystick in the demo that one would assume that such a major turnoff would have been noticed and addressed by the developers. I myself won't buy the game until there's a fix for this.

Is it even possible that a patch will come out that remedies this? Wouldn't that be considered a significant, unadvertised change in the inherent gameplay of the final product? I suppose adding an option to tune the joystick deadzone would get around that.

Any thoughts?

[Kokayne]

I love how the OP fails to mention the crashes when people try to join multiplayer...I'd think that would qualify as a pretty important bug...atleast more important than showing water animations shen crashing into dirt...

[UkReaperVi]

Getting crash dump error when i try multiplayer.
No players in coop.
Huge deadzone with seitek cyborg.
Black screen sometimes when starting although i hear the game but theres no hawx tab in the task bar.

Im no noob so fix it.
Fresh install only chipset drivers and all the latest updates, Installed 182.08 gfx driver then installed hawx, updated to the latest version, i also have plenty of space available on my hdd.

You guys are serious jokers surly the game was tested before release and there is no way you didnt get any of these issues, so what was it you just thought screw it we will sort it later like pretty much every game i bought last year. Im loosing faith in all of the pc game makers. It seems us on the pc get the raw end of the deal. To much time goes into the console versions. I say screw the consoles and make us some descent games, ive spent so much on my pc to get constantly let down.

Whenever I'm playing HAWX, my game will stutter when a video plays in the HUD, such as when the AWACS pilot, my wingman, or the commander talks. What in the hell is going on?!

Really they must know how to fix that!!!?? I mean TODAY.. I didnt bought a game at full price if it doenst work as promised.
I am on PC.

[crazymcdazy]

same problems here and with my friend.

Got full retail version and doesnt work. This game is broken. There is no hardware issue because i can play SOMETMIES.

First tried to play dx10 version, this worked good (but i did get a slight freazy when logging in to the online part but that restored itself in bout 5 seconds.

Played dx10 version fine in single and LAN.
Then we tried to log in to an online server. We could not use the friends list when in lobby.
We could not join same game in any loby.

So we decided the play dx9 version.
This is when dump file crash started.
It happened at least 5 times or more. So we relized there was a patch, and proceeded to install.

Tried again.

Errors still bombarded hard and strong.
We could get in to a few online games maybe 4.
We got alot of errors during the day.
We installed the latest 9.3 driver for ATI.
Errors contined and got more frequent.

Last night could not log in to online at all.
tried single. This worked however there was an prob the flight controls. The plan would not roll right and would continually roll left.
I thought this may be a joystick issue. So restart game with out joystick. Game would not load. Was getting a "bing!" sound at the load profile screen after profile selected. Then game crashes to desktop. (this error has happened sooooo many times.)

Restarted PC(no 3rd party hardware connected). Single player loads(would not dare to try online match at this stage.) but i still have the flight control error would not bank right.

So went to slepp hoping this would be fixed over night.

Next day.

Hawx still having issues.
Tried dx10 again.
Got in to the single player eventually.
Joy stick now works fine. Played happily for a while. Tried to log in online and FAIL!!!!!!

Tried to play dx9 version and FAIL!!!!!!

WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME WHY WOULD U RELESE A GAME THAT DOES NOT WORK. WHAT IS THE SOLOTUION TO FIX THIS?????????????????

[SOVET110]

System:

On the highest adjustments. Game shows good FPS.
But my videocard very quickly overheats, that bring to restart a computer.
Even reducing adjustments, do not help.
I would prefer to play about delay, rather than with an overheat.

- Harrier does not fly on supersonic speeds as well as F-117
- At an output from game, there is a error.
- And in one of the first 10 missions, in a game roller right at the beginning, one of planes twitches.

----------------
Requests:
And the mode from 3-rd person.
It would be desirable small slackness at rotation of the plane. (the chamber is too rigidly attached to the plane)

I wish to see YAK-141

I have the same soundcard, but my sounds works just fine. (XP)
But everytime I try to find a server or coop game there's nothing there. It just searches and sais "no servers" and when in online it searches but never finds anything it goes to "create server mode" or however it's called.

Can someone (from Ubi) pls post a comment or something if they are working on it or better yet have a solution?

Between UBI and Steam its a royal mess. What you expect to happen? You expect them to write back on forums explaining themselves? Or you expect them to fix the problem? They dont care. I bought off steam... Patch dont work... Online dont work.. DX10 dont work... So i bought half a game.. not even going to try and get the refund because the amount of man hours it would take and having to threaten them with law blah blah, sod that. At the end of the day we got screwed. I only bought the game because of the online play. My own fault i should have waited instead of buying on the day of release and i would have found all this stuff out instead of being the one reporting it. Its doubtful they will fix the problem as UBI has washed its hands of it as far as steam goes. So for all those that bought HAWX off steam... Unlucky you wasted your money as did I!

[Ubi.Vigil]

Thanks for all the feedback and issues mentioned in this thread guys. We sincerely appologise for any frustration caused by these issues. I've just compiled a report containing everything raised in this thread and the Tech Support forum. I'll be passing it onto the developers shortly so they can continue their investigation into some of the problems you've run into with H.A.W.X on PC and work on addressing as many of them as possible.

[AussenbagenSix]

Re: Steam version

1. Lacks Dx10 functionality.
2. Missing Hawx_Dx10 executible application.
3. Game does not get automatically added to Vista Games explorer.
4. If manually added (http://vge.editor.googlepages.com/) that does not add Dx10 functionality since the Hawx Direct x executible is missing. All the directx 10 dll files are present in the game folder and it makes no difference if you update to the latest version of directx runtime.
5. I created my own fix: http://forums.steampowered.com...thread.php?t=825886, (http://forums.steampowered.com...wthread.php?t=825886,) but I hope a better official one is provided by ubi and steam.
6. No coop campaign muliplayer functionality present. I can login and see and connect to versus games. I can't see or join in any coop campaign games. I can create and host a coop campaign game,but no one can join me.
7. The game cannot be updated with the auto updater. Nor is the steam version providing us with the current update automatically.

I can still hear the game in the background but there is nothing I can do to bring the display back. Also if I hit the escape key the game just closes entirely.

[Rockettman0874]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Please, as fast as humanly possible, fix the "SCREEN GOING BLACK ISSUE!" There are MANY people, who are running Vista 32, with all drivers updated, etc, etc (ie., good computers)....who are experiencing the screen going black upon starting the game. My screen goes black when I start BOTH, DX9 and DX10 versions of the game in Vista 32. In both cases, I start the game, I see nothing, but I can hear the intro splash, the intro movie, etc. The 1.01 patch did nothing to fix because I installed and ran it BOTH with and without the 1.01 patch. Please, as soon as possible, could you make a patch to make the game run in Vista 32? Many people like me paid $50 for the digital download version and were looking forward to playing it, to no avail. I planned my 3 hour download from Direct2Drive, but alas, could NOT play my new game. There are many people, me included, that are truly waiting for a patch so we can play the game. This would seem to deserve the highest level of attention and rectification from Ubisoft. Thanks in advance for your help; many of us need it bad....and with much haste!!

[dev_nl]

Just got the game working today and found a few things that are not tested at all.

first the amazing deadzone(thrust master cougar)

second WHY is it not possible to use my joystick and ch pro pedals together(the airplane goes into a dive to the left and crash int to the ground is imenent)

third when flyig with the su 25 (braking, flying up and kicking on the rudders) i get the plane to slow to 950 kilometers an hour.
the sukhoi website note themaximum speed at SEALEVEL(absolute top) as 950 km/h (http://www.sukhoi.org/eng/planes/military/su25k/lth/) did you even try to do SOME research it isn't exactly hard to find!!!

oh and as requested i am running the retail version.

Also there only exsist one su-47 berkut and the specific model being used is just a testing version of which Sukhoi itself (can't find a source atm.) told it was not going to be the final but would look like an modified the su-35.

[Hamvil]

It seems Force Feedback is not supported in H.A.W.X and this is a ghastly omission.

Ubisoft, please add this feature in a future patch; I'm using a Logitech Force 3D Pro and it's a huge shame not being able to feel the action!

[Fireshock88]

I used all the aircraft in the demo and the entire game worked flawlessly. When is the crash happening?

[batutu]

Not sure if this is happening to a lot of people or not, but when running HAWX on DX10 I get ridiculous amounts of stuttering going on even though my average fps stays above 70.

In-game video test runs perfectly smooth.

Stuttering occurs when new units appear on screen, when explosions happen on screen, and particularly when I fire my machine gun.

I get no issues at all in DX9. But the game looks soooo much better in DX10 it would be a pity to play it that way...

Toning down the levels of detail make absolutely no difference at all. I can turn up every possible graphic option all the way up in DX9 and get butter-smooth gameplay. I have tried playing the game on minimum gfx settings in DX10 and I STILL get stutters...

My PC specs are as follows:

Intel Quade-core Q9450 2.6Ghz. OC@ 3.6Ghz
EVGA nforce 790i Ultra motherboard
EVGA Nvidia GTX 280 GFX card (with latest drivers)

I've read somewhere that this issue is happening on nvidia cards only....

[wwyy840731]

I've played hawx for a while,then I want to tell some feelings and suggestions for the improvement of this game.
1.The gauge at the cockpit view(e.p:the speed monitor clock)need to be real-time updated.For example:after the missles lauched,the missle hanger picture need to get changed!!
2.the ammination in hawx is indefinite?it‘s quite unreal.
3.At the 1st view,the HUD is white,which is quite difficult to identify when fly upward to the sky.Hope CHANGE THE COLOR TO LIGHT GREEN!!
4.THE bomb and explosive audio effect is poor.
5.The flying-sense of different planes make no difference!!the parameter and performence for each tipe should be adjusted.
6.THE crash and shooting down of enemy's aircraft make no different viedio effect.
The enemy's pilot never use parachute??

HOPE THE UPDATE OF HAWX NOT ONLY FIX BUGS,BUT MAKE SOMETING NEW AND IMPROVED!!THX

Freezes. Not full PC freeses thjough and they pass after a few seconds but theyr a serius issue. Whenever someones launching a missile (might be something else this bug destroys gameplay so I stopped playing after a while) I get a 3-4 second freeze. Then its back up to my usual 60-80fps and I'm dead. FIX THIS multiplayer is impossible to play like this. This isnt lag because it happends on 40-45ms servers/hosts too.

Managed to join a friends server he created earlier today, it worked great. Halfway through one of our matches some other guys joined but they had superior planes to us and destroyed us so I left. I then clicked on quick game, got the dump.exe error and the crash. Reloaded tried custom match, no results. What i dont understand is how the guys who joined our match did it? I mean how come their online play is working yet neither mine nor my friends do?

This game show's the kind of non professional developing from ubisoft of the game.

I have a Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick.

I can confirm the dead zone. It takes up about 1/3 to 1/2 of the stick travel.

On the the deathmatch issue, maybe the people that joined and were able to play were not on PC's. No one has said if PC people can play against Xbox.

Glad to see some of you have got past putting in the disk and getting no further. I didn't say in my previous message that I have the retail version of the disk (can't call it a game just an expensive disk as it actually does nothing!), will give it a few days to see if a fix is sorted then will return it. This is a lesson on 'How to p*** **f your customers in one easy go'. As for having a go at people virtually shouting, can you really blame them?

Don't forget to mention the other games that have bad releases by ubisoft. Still lots of bugs and the forums for the games are packed with complaints

[Fireshock88]

Sorry but I did not read all ten pages of this thread. Has anyone had any luck with the new patch that came out? Has it gotten rid of any of the issues. My PC version will be here in the mail tomorrow and I'm hoping it works as flawless as the demo.

[magot1991]

Game is fantastic IMO. I'm getting the water splash instead of explosions, joystick dead zone issue and the random flare/rocket launches (only when voice commands are on).

Wait for a patch or there is a way to fix them?

[IanHx]

Multiple controllers
---------------------
If multiple game controllers are plugged in eg
Saitek X52Pro joystick + Saitek rudder pedals [ these are 2 separate controllers in the Windows control panel] then the player's aircraft is uncontrollable ( constantly spins when no movement input to joystick or keyboard or mouse ).

Unplugging the second controller and restarting HAWX corrects the problem, however this is a pain in the %^$£ for the customer to do each time !

Any chance of fixing this in the next patch ?

Thanks
Ian

[cr0wnes7]

Just picked up the game yesterday. Installed 1.01 patch.

My issues with the game so far:

- On one occasion, the game freezed at the end of a level. It was during the "saving game" process when it happened. I was able to ctrl alt delete my way out of it, and fortunately my game was saved properly. But still this is something that needs fixing.

- A similar problem to the one above. I died, selected continue last checkpoint. The game turned back, and i could hear the main menu music in the background. Couldnt do anything about it, had to force a reboot.

- Most annoying of all. I CANNOT PLAY MULTIPLAYER AT ALL. I have yet see a single server appear on my list since i bought this game and its for both coop and versus. Wasnt this fixed in the 1.01 patch? Come on ubisoft, show the PC some love.

[Canuck19]

Fireshock88,

things are pretty ****ty in the land of HAWX. get a helment.

[symb1ont]

I cannot play Versus at all but not due to not seeing servers. Due to the fact that when I hit Quick Match and it starts to load, it crashes out to desktop EVERY FREAKING TIME.

Fix it.

[Naberios]

Sorry to hear about all the tech issues. I haven't really tried multiplayer yet, so I don't know if I'm having trouble with that or not. The only other tech issue I'm having is the sound stuttering (in and out of missions).

My real problem is with a mission. I'm playing mission 15: Thunderbolt (destroying 3 generators). When I've destroyed all the generators the general says it's time for me to go, but the mission NEVER ends. I've tried leaving the search aircraft alone and also destroying all of them. Either way, I just keep flying around for no reason.

[SteveRoger6208]

That happens to me sometimes to. I think it has to do with the fact that you have to cross some sort of trigger line in the game, they are those "checkpoints." If you missed it the level goes on and on even if you have completed the mission requirements. It sucks that you have to fly around and around literally in expanding concentric circles to get out of a level sometimes. This is just bad level design.

[SneAkzz]

please do only report bugs or give feedback here instead of yelling to the developers, it's very hard for me to find things that need to be added to my list between all those angry people,

btw. I ain't having any of those problems, game runs perfectly smooth here so most of your issues are probably windows problems.

[skywarp00]

most of the planes can cary 3 weapons or more but when playing online i can only access 2? how do u access the other weapons in game?

[Hamvil]

I've just started playing the PC version and it seems it doesn't save my progress. After passing two or three checkpoints and quitting the game, it restarts the mission when I try to continue from where I left off. It displays the 'saving' notification when I quit but I haven't been able to continue from my last checkpoint.

Is that a bug or am I missing something?

[YoonMaster]

This games multi player really ****es me off, this will prob be my last time on the forum, they raved about their online game play and really it is ****...

Just going from the demo: When you use the outside the plane view and swing the camera 360 degrees around to look at the front of the jets, you can see the wavy transparent exhaust effect from the engines overlayed across the body of the jet. A similar thing happened in a Tomb Raider game for me where the wavy water effect could be seen right through Lara causing her to be wavy as well. I tried the Xbox 360 demo and this problem doesn't exist there. Otherwise this game runs perfectly graphics wise. I have an NVidia 9800.

[Coolionoob]

It is a good game an the envoirement feels right. But but, The cockpits look really crappy.. Couldnt the graphic designers look at those tons and tons of flght simulators out there???

This game does just not look completed..
Overall buggy.. not worked through.. And the multiplayer/login part doesnt work..

The game never runs in DX10 for me. I've tried starting by right-clicking the Game Explorer entry and choosing "Play in DirectX 10". I've also tried starting with the DX10 executable in the installation folder, but it always runs for a split second and reverts back to the DX9 executable.

The DX10 options are always grayed out in the options menu no matter what I do.

EDIT: i can no longer do anything it gets to the esc screen and locks up. found hawx directory in steam common files.. tried both patches, as i downloaded the game i tryed the digital patch and it says i have a cd copy of the game!! wtf?? lol tryed the other patch which ofcourse doesnt work becuase its not in ubisoft folder so it doesnt register that i have the game... i'm patient but good god it was running perfectly this afternoon :S oh a minor map glitch for the first bombing mission some of the mountain tops had a red error msg i believe it was somthign to do with texture, but honestly in a bit of rage i've forgotten what it was

Return this game if you can. It's a dud. Released in a hurry for PC and it hardly works. Learn your lesson and dont buy UBI again.

[COKBAG]

You don't use variables in your patch, so anyone who installs the game without using defaults cannot patch it. This is f'n amateurish. Absolute bs.

[Violator1016]

This really amazes me. Sorry in advance this will be a big post but for those who are fed up with the games industries lack of quality control I want to speak up.

Having studied as a graphic designer and game designer I know all about dead lines and if you dont have quality by the dead line you finnish the work first and take the punishment later,

you dont release it unfinished and then use the general public as unpaid game testers.

Having a number of new UBI products with multiplayer features I just cannot understand why they are finding server lists such a challange I mean Rainbow six was even more un user friendly but with HAWX there is a server list but you can either not access it because it brings you to the host server menue or there are no servers found and lastly a nice save dump error.


The previous posts are all right about the dead zones it feels like the planes surfaces are snapping to rather than following your joysticks moves, its not smooth is it?

The model of the Mig 25 is not a Mig 25 its a model of a Mig 31 that has been wrongly named a Mig 25.

I got to agree with COKBAG on this its just amateurish production dont even get me started on the makeshift direction indicator found in the razorback cockpit. What is that some kind of torus shape magically cutting out of the display glass? thats ugly as hell.

UBI my best advice is to stop releasing games expecting us to do the QA for you. We paid for the game and if you are going to use us for unpaid game testers then maybe you should at least remove any price from these beta stage games you keep releasing.

new bug I found:

Playing Coop
Using XBOX 360 controller

when the game is paused and unpaused (by other player) no input is registered. can't control the plane or use any buttons. no keyboard/mouse input registers either. this leads to the plane either getting shot down, crashes or drifts outside the mission area.

even after dying and respawning the control doesn't come back. have to CTRL+ALT+DEL to get out (or wait until you get kicked, in the menu the control comes back online). Reconnecting the controller doesn't work

Yes, I completely agree with these last few posts, and I too have already posted regarded my woes. I am a "black screen but hear audio" guy. I start the game and I have to use CTRL+ALT+DEL to get out of the black screen. Sometimes....MOST times...that doesn't even work, and I have to restart my PC.

And all of you out there who are being told by Ubisoft that its YOUR PC....that's crap. I JUST bought an (overpriced) Alienware Area 51 790i Ultra SLI gaming BEAST!! It's liquid cooled with dual NVidia 9800 cards in SLI, and I have 4 freakin processors. This problem is NOT system related for me; and, many of the other posts I've read pertain to users with equally buffed-up systems. It's safe to say that this is NOT us...it's Ubi. I went back about three video driver versions and that still didn't help. Something major is wrong with this release of HAWX and it certainly deserves all attention.

All my drivers are up to date and my system is as powerful/up-to-date as the game designers' themselves. This game issue needs to be fixed asap.

Any balking by Ubi is arrogant denial and a wish to lose customers. What would be a shame, is if they adopt that attitude and if they play the % game. "Well, only 35% of you are experiencing this issue, never mind that you're using updated, kick-as* systems, we're gonna go ahead and tell you it's your problem." I guess that would just be the old big guy vs. little guy cliche; big guy wins. I hope Ubisoft does the right thing and that actual humans have been reading these posts and taking initiative to get this issue resolved.

I would LOVE to see a public apology type thing from Ubi; sorta, just tell us that you really messed up. Give the convergence culture that is built around your games the collective credit they deserve and realize that there are alot of experienced gamers, testers and egg heads who are in this HAWX community; it would be gross negligence if Ubi wrote us off. Go ahead and tell us that you confused the final game .EXE's, and you labeled the Vista 64 version the 32bit version and vice-versa. Just tell us something so we can all see it/hear it. You owe all of us at least that much. Figure out what you need to figure out and let us all know something, please. "We're workin on it" might not be enough for this (arguably) botched release. HELP US PLEASE.

These are a couple more bugs I've noticed:

- I can't change the "Assistance on/off" input button under the "Gamepad," "Controls Settings" And, unfortunately, you have to use this feature during a portion of the campaign.

- I've also noticed that after leaving the game idle on a menu screen for a few minutes my computer tends to crash and restart itself. I have an otherwise very stable XP system, and am sure this is the cause.

Sounds to me like your firewall is blocking the game. Make sure your firewall is allowing HAWX to access the net as that could be why you're hanging.

Also, for anyone having trouble connecting (or seeing) online games, just get your friends added to your friends list. Once you do this, you can invite them to co-op/vs games and vice versa.

How about fixing the problem with the online cheating and reset the leader board. WHY would you make a game with online play and NOT implement some kind of cheat deterrent? There is also a problem with the multi AA's sometimes the ammo box shows them as being fired but none actually do. When flying in the clouds mostly but happens at other times in on and off mode the plane turns into blue lines and the missiles turn into red lines like its just the frame of the object with no skin on them.

Sorry, not a bug with the Assistance on/off input control function for gamepads. For some reason it was designed to be that way so you could double tap the throttle or brakes to toggle the Assistance mode. However, I would have preferred having the option to use a separate button. Also, there is definitely a problem with voice commands randomly firing missiles or flairs. I just set voice commands to off as a default and it seems to work fine now so long as I don't use that feature. I do have other complaints with the game design that could easily be remedied, but this isn't the forum for it, so I'll take them elsewhere.

Posted this on the steam forum and thought this little observation might be worth to share here too:

Compare this to something most can relate to. Steering wheel of a car. How annoying would it not be to turn the wheel 45 degrees either direction and the car still goes straight forward, then when you get to 46 degrees the car jerks violently in the direction you steer.

they are not fixing the deadzones, look at the bugs they are fixing for the consoles(stupid multiplayer bugs) and both ps3 and x360 have the same deadzone.

[RUSTYNAIL75]

Hi.

Just having some trouble with these problems:

- People are unable to find multiplayer games, sometimes it crashes when trying to get in one.
- regular game crashes with the error: Saved dump file to C:./.../hawx.exe.dmp

thanks

[ooozmin]

When I load up the game everything is fine, but once I get to the intro/splash screen everything is corrupted and garbled.

[Burpman]

mmmm.... what can I say...

can't play multiplayer and sometimes maybe if I'm lucky with a sunny day...maybe I can connect to a coop game...if I'm very lucky.

Wanna say Gj Ubisoft for making this puzzle game, we all play it to solve those mysteries and we have fun....so much fun...

[Mooredeeb]

I play ranked games online and receive experience at end but do not receive it in personal records and when I finish next online match the experience is given from where it is on my personal record again. I should be 3 ranks higher then I am at least. This problem is really annoying me. Could you please fix it?

[aple123]

The voice actors cannot be heard (but the music and the background sound is okay).

Thanks a lot!

[IN54NE]

Again, I've posted this elsewhere, but if it helps you then it is worth re-posting. Go into the windows sound volume settings and check the wave sound volume (you may have to look in the advanced tab and enable the "wav" checkbox). Mine somehow got turned almost all the way off, and when I turned it back to full volume, all of the sound in HAWX worked great and still does. Hope that helps!

hmm i have np appart from trying to go ranked servers just waiting all the time to find servers then crash this is the only prob i have with game co-op is ok np there

OK, I need help figuring out the ERS system in relation to using it on aircraft. I've got my gold medal for using it on ground targets, but yet out of the 100 or so times I've used the system on aircraft (fighters, bombers, & helos) it's only registered 9 of them as ERS kills. I need to find out what I'm not doing right. These are my last set of mission achievements and I'd like to get them over with.

Thanks for any help on this one.

[CEOtam99]

Really more problems????
Frist,Joystick dead zone issues,not match more and other brandname joystick ,e.g:Microsoft joystick for flight sim use.
Next problem,I match this game all request and
OS, display card, and his Lab test all pass and higher,but in playing easy show blue screen.
this game more correct and wrong place....?!

i think its to do with HOW and WHEN you get the kill?
i have the exact same problem.
if you get the kill before the ERS flight path is finished i think it gives it to you, but if the flight path has finished then you DONT get it.
at least thats the impression i have gotten.
good luck. i only need one more for the air kills one, but i have done 3 now, and still not ogtten the acheivement.

I don't know why everyone is upset, it was only $50.00 to be part of this beta.

Can you add the feature to; Remember Your Password.

Its just really annoying having to type your password every time you want to go online.

Oh yea fix online play too :P

[STICKJOCK]

Im having trouble while in the aircraft selection menu. When I get to it. I cant select the aircraft because its scrolling unconrollably. If hit enter and do hit on a unlocked plane the aircrft is on a steady roll and Icant control it. I use CH Products Fighterstick,Throttle and rudders.

[zolty123]

So I have been messing around with the Saitek deadzone issue. This game is unplayable on a Saitek joystick despite claims of support.

Has there been any sort of fix?

[Spadje]

I just wanna stress DEADZONE!!!!!!! PLEASE

Just another possible solution for the sound issues in Hawx. This also solved an issue I had with my computer crashing on exit. After the patch, as many have mentioned, I lost sound in in-mission briefings/updates and wingman commentary, among certain other things.

I had to install OpenAL as part of an ongoing saga to get GRiD working. I tried Hawx after that, and the above issues went away (so far, fingers crossed).

So, to reiterate, try installing OpenAL,you can get the download from the Creative website, doesn't matter whether you have a Soundblaster card or not(I don't). It solved my problems, hope it helps you guys too.

[Rubberdog]

well I have had the game over a week now, Ubi support has been great in trying to help me out to get the game online...but with much sadness I have to report I still get disconnected from coop and multi games...even with my firewall off and opening extra ports. I dont have any probs with single player...which is totally awesome, just a shame I cant play online...the reason for purchasing the game. A patch ASAP would be a great help!!!

Unhappy fragger here..alone in the dark!!

Deadzone...

This thread isnt moving fast enough to garner real attention it seems, well that's how it appears, as there has been no REAL response from anyone at Ubisoft.

[missingman808]

I bought the game after release day and I have yet to even be able to try the game. The infamous HAWX.exe.dmp file.

[SchwarzeFuchs]

Heya, two things:

I was just playing an online game and one laggy guy took about 30 seconds to connect, then the game crashed.

And in mission 17 "Javelin" i decided to ignore team alpha and assist teams bravo and charlie, i destroyed everything in their way, all blockades , all targets, even all the SAMs and most other stuff in the target area, this has happened several times, and then i turn round and find, alpha strung up beating off enemies at checkpoint 2, and bravo and charlie, sitting there, doing nothing, not moving, this happened one with just under 5 minutes left, and i have never played this online, i am playing on elite, so it's hard enough getting here. I have no compatibility issues, this has happened about 5 times now out of about 7 attempts at this level. This needs fixing else i am sure their are lots of people out there who can't pass it on elite without co-op.

Thanks

Hello,

in "Assitance OFF Mode" it was interesting to see the speed and altitude.

Thanks

[ourben]

Unrealistic speeds?

We finally get a fun air warfare game that actually has pace, looks good and runs on Windows - and people are complaining it's too fast?

What a bunch of cry babies.

1) It's not real life.
2) It's meant to be fun.
3) It's set in the future.
4) It's set in the Tom Clancy universe.

ERS is unrealistic too, you want to patch that out? What about 3rd person Assistance Off? Shall we get rid of that? How about only being able to carry 4 AA missiles? Yeah, let's do that...

Sorry SneAkzz, high speeds are not a bug or a glitch - it's the friggin' game.

[Mig-29]

I agree.

CEOtam99....wtf are you talking about? I couldn't understand anything you wrote in your post. Try using a translator or something before you decide to post something that is completely incomprehensible.

[big_long]

Unable to land or take off!!! WTF???
What ever goes up must come down! I can see the runway but cannot put my landing gear down so how can I land?
Why did they go to so much detail but forgot the best part? Taking off and Landing in your aircraft.

[Slammer123fp]

In Mission 15, I complete the mission and am told mission completed but the game will not exit to the next mission screen. On my 3rd mission completion, I eliminated every target on the map (AA, Sam, SU47, Jamming) in addition to the primary targets. The game will not exit to the next mission screen. I finished within the time limit and am running a hi-end gaming PC that has had absolutely no problems with all current games until this one. For now, I am shelving the game until -and if- some of these problems are fixed. Also target locks and missile fire are intermittent from time to time. I had to shelve my SAITEK Cyborg Evo Force and use my older Microsoft Sidewinder stick.

Update 03/30/2009

Finally got Mission 15 to work. I changed my attack plan as follows:

1. Went to upper right quadrant and took out SAMS, AA, and then all but 1 gen.
2. Went to upper left quadrant and repeated sequence 1. above and then took out last gen there.
3. Waited in upper left quad and attacked incoming SU air patrol.
4. Full speed to upper right quad and splashed attacking SU patrol 2. Took out last gen there.
5. Full speed to lower quad and took out last gen there. Lots of time left on timer since I basically took out all threats before counter started when completely clearing a quad. Flew around for a while wile the radio messages quipped and then the game showed mission complete and allowed me to move to the next mission.

Overall gameplay (Though not realistic) was very enjoyable and not too easy. I served as a sim flight and tactics instructor for Top Gun at NAS Miramar when on active duty. F4Js used at that time. Lots of experience with real world Flight/Weapons attack procedures. I would prefer a fully simulated weapons/tactics sim but US Nsvy Fighters (DOS) is the last of the lot that I have seen so far. For FUN purposes, this is -so far- the best Combat Sim going. Hope other companies will up the ante on realism (Really miss Carrier Landings) ... http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

They rather play on their xbox's then patch their pathetic excuse for a game... 16 pages and still no patch.

Yes I agree. I feel that seeing our speed and altitude while in Assistance OFF is a very important thing. It would be nice if we could get that added in soon http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Thanks.

[xwing21]

I have a problem with the speed max is 1160 km/h and it does not go fourther with the HOTAS and as well with the cougar pro from speedlink.
May friend has an old amd 3200 with nvidia 6800 and has no probs.
I have Intel cd 6750 and evga GTX 260.
Both winxp .....

[big_long]

Why did they go to so much detail but forgot the best part? Taking off and Landing in your aircraft.
I have found out why!
Because the whole game is not to scale! You can only fit three planes lengthways down the runway if you are lucky which means it would be impossible to land as the runways are all way to short. Crash into a fifty story office block and you will see your aircraft is bigger than the office block.

[maddogmac1974]

The game plays great, until you want to find a multiplayer game, there are no proper server lists to browse, and everytime you just hit quick match the saved dump file to c:/...hawx.exe.dmp error message comes up, co-op is just as bad with no games found appearing in the server list window, i see the multiplayer issues for xbox360 and ps3 platforms, yet no fix for pc gamers

[big_long]

They still have not fixed the DX10 problems which affects H.A.W.X that they also have with FarCry2.

Luckily I have found a way to get DX10 & DX10.1 working so I now have Shadows, Sun Shafts, Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) and the additional DirectX10.1 features.
Sorry for all those with Nvidia card, Xbox360 and PS3 owners who don’t have DirectX10.1

Performance test 104 FPS on an HD3870 with DirectX10.1

Why is it that only UBISOFT has problems with DX10 since Assassins Creed?

I play COH, FSX Acceleration, GTAIV, Crysis and Tomb Raider: Underworld etc all in DX10.
Makes me realise how better FSX Acceleration is with real time moving shadows in the cockpit etc.

[Snale]

Thanks for your contribution, but I am getting tired of people who say they or some1 fixed a certain problem. If you did or found something, you must know how! So please post the solution, it will help a lot of people (so a link wuold be nice)...
