Issues fixed

Crash on launch (Steam)

Some Steam users have reported issues with the game (especially the DirectX 10 executable)[4] black screening on launch, forcing them to end the process using task manager.[5]
Disable Steam Community in-game[5]
  1. Right-click on the H.A.W.X icon in the Steam library.
  2. Select "Properties" and uncheck "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game".
  3. Close the window and launch the game.
Force Windowed mode[citation needed]

A secondary cause is the game launching at an incorrect/unusable resolution.

  1. In %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X\Profiles\_settings_0.1.525.ini, section [Video], set windowd = true

Consistent freezing

Game freezes every minute or so for upwards of 20 seconds.
Disconnect from the internet[6]
Disconnecting your computer from the internet whilst in single-player appears to resolve this issue.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/21900/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (21900) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
