We're here to provide you quick and easy solutions if you are facing trouble with game optimizations not working, being unable to activate any optimizations and optimizations reverting or applying themselves after restart.
Game optimizations do not work
If your game optimizations do not seem to work and you are receiving the "That's a bummer!" error, use the following solution:
Download the Sed.dat file from here: Google Drive link
Paste the Sed.dat file into the following address inside Windows Explorer:
%localappdata%\Programs\Hone\resources\assets\hone-resources.
That should be all, make sure to check your Anti-Virus as it might be the reason the file was missing and avoid it happening in the future by adding Hone as an exception.
Can not activate any optimization
If you are unable to activate/enable any optimization, it can be resolved with the following fixes:
Sync Date and Time
Open Settings > Time and Language > Date and Time.
Synchronize your time by clicking on Sync now
If that does not resolve the issue, open Windows Powershell and
try the following commands:
Set-Service -Name w32time -StartupType Automatic
net start w32time > $null 2>&1
w32tm /resync
Add missing environment variables
Press Windows Key + R to open up Run.
Type sysdm.cpl
Click on Advanced tab.
Click on Environment Variables
Upon entering, scroll down in System Variables till you see Path. Select it and click Edit.
Upon entering, click on New and input the following Environment Variables:
%SystemRoot%\system32%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem%SystemRoot%%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\OpenSSH\
This is what it should look like, after that, click Ok
Optimization reverts or applies itself after a restart (FIXED)
This has been fixed in the latest Hone update!
Can't find my game in Game Settings
This depends on if the installer was ran with administrator privileges or not, it can change the account on which Hone gets installed. This account could be the one where you don't have your games! Try installing Hone by running the installer as administrator, and without. Alternatively, you can download this installer: Hone installer.
