Hello,
I have been testing using this game and it seems that it is not supported. I have tried it in both DirectX 10 and 11.
The game will not launch when Nthusim is running in the background. No error message comes up of any kind.
Any ideas as to why ?

Let me know if the in-game overlay was at issue. I should be able to test for other issues later this weekend if it's not the culperate.

Hi,
I have been able to reproduce the issue with HAWX 2 and Nthusim 3.0 in Direct3D 9 mode, non-steam version with the latest update.
As a temporary workaround the Direct3D 10 and 11 rendering seem fine but you have to manually enable it by right clicking the game shortcut and selecting "Play DX10-DX11" - or just run HAWX2_DX11.exe from the game folder.
Do you happen to be using Steam to launch any games? If so, turn off in Steam preferences your In-Game chat overlay. NTHUSIM is incompatible with Steam in-game chat overlay. They use conflicting DirectX rendering methods which create a compatibility issue between NTHUSIM and Steam. The problem is fixed once the in-game chat preference in Steam is disabled.
I'll look into it this weekend. I own both HAWX and HAWX2 personally on my Steam account. I have used both titles on my personal setup using NTHUSIM 3.0 in the past. I'll check and see if Ubisoft patched anything new into the games lately to create an incompatibility. As far as I know, there is no issue with either title on my personal setups.
