    STEP 1: From the path FOR Vista or Windows 7 => C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games

    FOR Windows XP = > C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents
    Make sure that the folder “ Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X.2 ” is deleted.

    STEP 2: Go to the location of the installed game and create a shortcut of HAWX2.exe

    STEP 3: Right click on the shortcut and enter the Properties window. Type “-clear”

    at the end of the target. Do not forget to enclose the executable path between “..”

    if it contains spaces.

    ( Example : “E:\Program files\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2"-clear)

    STEP 4: Run the shortcut you created.

    As an effect of this action, the saved content will be deleted, the game will create

    a new save - any game progress will be lost.


    Updates and Fixes for the PC release version 1.01:

    1. Added DLC support.
    2. The Uplay browser can be accessed after being minimized.
    3. The Uplay application starts in full screen mode when the game is running in full screen mode.
    4. The game restarts after the player quits Uplay.
    5. The players no longer remain hanged on the "Waiting for other players" screen when they reload an objective.
    6. All the rewards can be unlocked using the mouse.
    7. The client does not remain hanged on infinite search.
    8. The reward selection does not disappear when a reward is unlocked.
    9. Various fixes.

    If you pm me an email address, i will send you a screenshot of the steps to take. For now, the best I can do is to tell you to navigate to the installation directory for Hawx 2, and right click on the hawx executable. Select "send to desktop", which will create a new shortcut. Now right click on the new shortcut and place your cursor in the "target" box at the end of the string of characters there. It should be very close to (E:\Program files\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 .exe").
    Press the space bar ONCE after the quotation marks and type -clear.
    It will then look like this
    "E:\Program files\Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2" -clear

    Note: before you do this, you have to rename your saved game directory. The next time you start the game it will update, then create a new saved game folder. Play the game from this folder until ubisoft figures out a permanent fix for the profile issues.

    Hope this helps.

    Josh,

    I responded to your email. I hope it helps. You must follow all of the directions in order.

    1. Rename your saved game directory
    2. Create the new shortcut (see the email) and modify the string.
    3. Restart the game using the new shortcut. Only use the new shortcut now on.
    Others,

    This fix was originaly intended to help people that finished the story and then lost access to the game. The game started presenting Appcrash upon execution. I don't recommend using the fix unless you are having trouble.
