'''Red Faction N-Gage''' is a 2003 port of the first [[Red Faction]] game to [[Wikipedia:N-Gage_(device)|Nokia's N-Gage]] platform. The port was developed by John Romero and Tom Hall's Monkeystone Games studio. John Romero has stated that he didn't play [[Red Faction]] prior to developing the N-Gage port. '''Red Faction N-Gage''' has both a single player campaign, and a peer-to-peer multiplayer component for up to 2 players connected via Bluetooth.

==Gameplay==
It is more linear first-person-shooter and more simplified/condensed version of the PS2 and PC versions. With brand new maps holding up the same premise of its own, while sticking to the original storyline. Gameplay consists inside Doom-generic type maps with secrets inside geomodable walls sprayed with decals or grafitti only. The player cannot blast walls everywhere they want. The enemies as soon as they see you, they will rush into you and starts shooting before you could possibly shoot them. There's no difficulty selection either.

Due to not so convenient N-Gage Mobile controls, it is pretty difficult to maintain a steady aim against opponents, which not only sometimes they don't die right after you shoot them, but it requires some luck to engage hostiles cause the enemy hitscan is horrible. Platforming won't be friendly-user either, as it becomes frustrating to control yourself in mid air while reaching edges or avoiding death pits.

Weapons such as the Flamethrower and Precision Rifle are excluded. Vehicles like the Aesir Fighter, Driller and the Ultor APC are not present in the N-Gage version. The Sniper Rifle uses the same green scope as the Rail Driver, while the railgun itself cannot shoot through walls, but it can kill an enemy in one shot as it behaves the same way as the sniper.
You are forced to drive the Jeep in the second level of Capek's Lair even though it is optional to drive it, in the first part of the section. Right after Inner Sanctum level where Capek is located, it skips directly to Mercenary Barracks, meaning that Grand Canyon and the Space Station that were featured in the previous titles are missing by unknown reasons.

The stealth sections almost works the same way as in the previous titles only this time around, the players will have all of the weapons returned to them should they ever fail at stealth instantly. The bosses are equipped to shoot with pistols even though they die right away like ordinary enemies despite their health increased. The player shouldn't worry of second phases when they demolish the bosses's shields.
Lastly it doesn't have the bomb-defuse sequence set up by Mercenaries like in PS2 and PC. As soon as the player reaches to rescue Eos, it marks the end of the game.

==Campaign==
The RF N-Gage single player campaign roughly replicates the [[Red Faction]] campaign. The player again assumes the role of [[Parker]], several sequences are very similar, and many of the level design choices reflect levels from the original game. Throughout the game, the player battles many familiar enemies, including [[Ultor Guard|Ultor Guards]], [[Elite Guard|Elite Guards]], [[Spike|Spike Drones]], and [[Mutant|Mutants]] - plus 2 "boss" enemies in [[Capek]] and [[Masako]].

All N-Gage campaign levels have been ported and remade into PC Version of the game as a total-conversion mod, now known as "RF N-Gage Remake". Available on FactionFiles here:
{{FFLink|5927|Red Faction N-Gage Remake}} along with a Promo N-Gage Addon for the mod itself, based on promotional N-Gage pictures that were supposed to be in the game itself but it never happened, forming a mini-campaign of its own: {{FFLink|6173|Red Faction N-Gage Promo Addon}}

===Easter Eggs===
*[[Dopefish]] - Making his Red Faction series debut, Dopefish (of Commander Keen fame) is featured in Red Faction (N-Gage). See [[Dopefish]] for more information.

==Multiplayer==
RF N-Gage multiplayer supports 2 players, joined via Bluetooth connection. Combat is very simple and is limited to only duel. RF N-Gage multiplayer is without a doubt the least accessible part of the game - it requires 2 compatible N-Gage hardware devices be within Bluetooth range, running Red Faction, and attempting to organize a game. Given the scarcity of N-Gage hardware devices even at the time of the game's release, it's safe to assume that Red Faction N-Gage's multiplayer component was never widely utilized. Furthermore, current emulation techniques are not compatible with the multiplayer component of the game.

RF N-Gage Multiplayer contains many of the weapons from the single player component and 5 entirely purpose-built custom levels that bare no resemblance to levels from the original [[Red Faction]] game.

'''Red Faction N-Gage Multiplayer Levels'''
* '''01: Hellpit''' - Small industrial-themed arena consisting of 3 small hallways surrounding a larger room which contains a [[Fusion Rocket Launcher]].
* '''02: Betrayal''' - Complex maze of corridors with rusted metal walls and black ceilings accented by an assortment of storage crates.
* '''03: Damagehall''' - Very simple merc base-themed level containing 2 large rooms and hallways connecting them.
* '''04: Destructor''' - Arena level containing 2 large rooms connected by straight hallways arranged in a grid.
* '''05: Jackhammer''' - The most vertical level in the game, this level contains 2 moderately-sized rooms connected by hallways and a upper vent the player can drop from to surprise their opponent.

All five RF N-Gage multiplayer levels have been ported to the PC version of the game and are available for download from FactionFiles: {{FFLink|4653|N-Gage RF MP Collection}}

Run Maps

2023-07-28T12:38:42Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* MysticaL-AceR */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a deathmatch map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a deathmatch map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

2022-11-25T18:38:59Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* MysticaL-AceR */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a deathmatch map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:
<youtube>e4Vs3LPXX7A</youtube>

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions. As always, if you have any questions or run into any issues with Red Faction, please visit the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord]}}
===Where can I go to talk to other Red Faction fans, find people to play with, or ask for help with an issue?===
{{Answer|The Red Faction community lives on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord]. The vast majority of the game's community is there, and we'd love to have you as well! We're an inviting and approachable community of old school and new Red Faction players, and we should be able to help you with any issue you may be experiencing with the game.

The '''#rf1-matchmaking''' channel on the Discord server is intended to be used for organizing multiplayer matches.}}
===Where can I find community-made Red Faction mods or levels?===
{{Answer|[https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] is the most extensive source of community-made mods and levels for Red Faction. Some specific categories of community-made Red Faction files from Faction Files are listed below.

Throughout Red Faction's 18+ year history, many other community sites have come and gone such as Red Faction Planet, Levels4You, RED tech, and RF HQ. The only file hosting site from RF's early history to still be available online is [http://www.redfactionview.net RedFactionView.net]}}

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

'''Installing Conversion Mods'''
* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Conversion Mods (RF1)]]

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===
{{Answer|Red Faction maps are made in [[RED]], and mods are made using a mixture of [[.tbl|Table files]], meshes exported from 3Ds Max, and textures (.tga and .vbm).}}

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
{{Answer|}}While Singleplayer campaign is pretty much identical in both ports and their menu interfaces are different, the major differences lays down in Multiplayer domain. Apart from small design changes upon few multiplayer maps, chances of survival within online PC multiplayer are minimal while facing veteran fighters as the weapon damage properties are different in multiplayer than singleplayer. The important changes are listed below:
* PS2 Splitscreen (offline) and AI Bot matches are not available on PC.
* PC version comes with competitive online multiplayer to be played against '''real players''' instead of bots.
* PS2 Autoaim and Zoom-In are taken out on PC port because it could be exploited for real-time cheating.
* Bonus level '''Marooned''' from PS2 version is replaced by '''GlassHouse''' on PC port.
* Some of the player multi-characters exclusively on PS2 version are also unavailable on PC version.
* Capture The Flag mode is introduced in PC port while PS2 version doesn't have it.

===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.}}

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's '''Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0''' version has now an '''autosave''' feature for PC which it is the '''''critical''''' update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:
* [https://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=file&id=6252 Dash Faction 1.8.0]

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:
<youtube>e4Vs3LPXX7A</youtube>

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Clientside Mods (RF1)]]
}}

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===
{{Answer|Red Faction maps are made in [[RED]], and mods are made using a mixture of [[.tbl|Table files]], meshes exported from 3Ds Max, and textures (.tga and .vbm).}}

===Does anyone speed run Red Faction?===
{{Answer|Yes!}}

* [https://discord.gg/EpbU5xs Red Faction Speedrunning Channel on the Community Discord]

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
{{Answer|}}While Singleplayer campaign is pretty much identical in both ports and their menu interfaces are different, the major differences lays down in Multiplayer domain. Apart from small design changes upon few multiplayer maps, the important changes are listed below:
* PS2 Splitscreen (no online) and AI Bot matches are not available on PC.
* PC version comes with online multiplayer to be played against '''real players''' instead of bots.
* PS2 Autoaim and Zoom-In are taken out on PC port because it could be exploited for real-time cheating.
* Bonus level '''Marooned''' from PS2 version is replaced by '''GlassHouse''' on PC port.
* Some of the player multi-characters exclusively on PS2 version are also unavailable on PC version.

===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.}}

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's '''Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0''' version has now an '''autosave''' feature for PC which it is the '''''critical''''' update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:
<youtube>e4Vs3LPXX7A</youtube>

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Clientside Mods (RF1)]]
}}

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

{{Answer|Yes!}}

* [https://www.speedrun.com/redfaction Red Faction on speedrun.com]
* [https://discord.gg/EpbU5xs Red Faction Speedrunning Channel on the Community Discord]

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
{{Answer|}}While Singleplayer campaign is pretty much identical in both ports, the major differences lays down in Multiplayer domain. Apart from small design changes upon few multiplayer maps, the important changes are listed below:
* PS2 Splitscreen (no online) and AI Bot matches are not available on PC.
* PC version comes with online multiplayer to be played against '''real players''' instead of bots.
* PS2 Autoaim and Zoom-In are taken out on PC port because it could be exploited for real-time cheating.
* Bonus level '''Marooned''' from PS2 version is replaced by '''GlassHouse''' on PC port.
* Some of the player multi-characters exclusively on PS2 version are also unavailable on PC version.

===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.}}

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's '''Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0''' version has now an '''autosave''' feature for PC which it is the '''''critical''''' update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:
<youtube>e4Vs3LPXX7A</youtube>

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
{{Answer|}}
While Singleplayer campaign is pretty much identical in both ports, the major differences lays down in Multiplayer domain. Apart from small design changes upon few multiplayer maps, the important changes are listed below:
* PS2 Splitscreen (no online) and AI Bot matches are not available on PC.
* PC version comes with online multiplayer to be played against '''real players''' instead of bots.
* PS2 Autoaim and Zoom-In are taken out on PC port because it could be exploited for real-time cheating.
* Bonus level '''Marooned''' from PS2 version is replaced by '''GlassHouse''' on PC port.
* Some of the player multi-characters exclusively on PS2 version are also unavailable on PC version.

===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.}}

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's '''Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0''' version has now an '''autosave''' feature for PC which it is the '''''critical''''' update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===

===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

}}

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
{{Answer|}}

While Singleplayer campaign is pretty much identical in both ports, the major differences lays down in Multiplayer domain. Apart from small design changes upon few multiplayer maps, the important changes are listed below:
* PS2 Splitscreen (no online) and AI Bot matches are not available on PC.
* PC version comes with online multiplayer to be played against '''real players''' instead of bots.
* PS2 Autoaim and Zoom-In are taken out on PC port because it could be exploited for real-time cheating.
* Bonus level '''Marooned''' from PS2 version is replaced by '''GlassHouse''' on PC port.
* Some of the player multi-characters exclusively on PS2 version are also unavailable on PC version.

===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.}}

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's '''Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0''' version has now an '''autosave''' feature for PC which it is the '''''critical''''' update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

'''Installing Conversion Mods'''
* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Conversion Mods (RF1)]]

'''Installing Clientside Mods (Weapon Skins, Player Skins, or HUD / UI / Sound / Texture Mods)'''
* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Clientside Mods (RF1)]]
}}

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's '''Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0''' version has now an '''autosave''' feature for PC which it is the '''''critical''''' update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}

===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple.

At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Clientside Mods (RF1)]]
}}

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.}}

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0 version has now an autosave feature for PC which it is the critical update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:
* [https://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=file&id=6252 Dash Faction 1.8.0]|

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}

===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations.

===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===

===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue.

===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024).

Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.}}

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0 version has now an autosave feature for PC which it is the critical update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0.

===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===

===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions. As always, if you have any questions or run into any issues with Red Faction, please visit the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord]}}
===Where can I go to talk to other Red Faction fans, find people to play with, or ask for help with an issue?===

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

'''Installing Conversion Mods'''

'''Installing Clientside Mods (Weapon Skins, Player Skins, or HUD / UI / Sound / Texture Mods)'''
* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Clientside Mods (RF1)]]
}}

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===
{{Answer|Red Faction maps are made in [[RED]], and mods are made using a mixture of [[.tbl|Table files]], meshes exported from 3Ds Max, and textures (.tga and .vbm).}}

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No. Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0 version has now an autosave feature for PC which it is the critical update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:[https://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=file&id=6252 Dash Faction 1.8.0].}}

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

'''Installing Conversion Mods'''

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.

|Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0 version has now an autosave feature for PC which it is the critical update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:[https://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=file&id=6252 Dash Faction 1.8.0]}}

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:
<youtube>e4Vs3LPXX7A</youtube>

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===

===Does anyone speed run Red Faction?===
{{Answer|Yes!}}

===What are the major differences between the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of RF?===
===Can I play the PlayStation 2 multiplayer maps on the PC version?===
===Does Red Faction automatically save my progress in single player?===
{{Answer|No.

Red Faction on both PS2 and PC never had the option to autosave. You were required to save manually only. Thankfully, the Red Faction Community's Dash Faction patch as of 1.8.0 version has now an autosave feature for PC which it is the critical update requested by many players for singleplayer experience:[https://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=file&id=6252 Dash Faction 1.8.0] }}

===How do I kill the giant robot (combot/trash disposal bot)?===
{{Answer|Movement and scripted events for artificial intelligence (AI) entities in Red Faction are sometimes buggy. While no inherent issue exists with the combot, and it will properly follow you to the incinerator eventually, it may be inconsistent and take a few tries. It's important to avoid luring it into the back rooms (with the robots), as it can be difficult to lure back out. Deal damage to it until Hendrix tells you a disposal pit exists on the lower level, then attempt to lure the combot on to the top of the incinerator door before pressing both control panel buttons to turn on the fan and the incinerator. This may take a few tries, but it will work. After the combot has been incinerated, a cutscene will begin.

Please note that no method exists to destroy the combot with weapon fire from the weapons you can have at this point in the campaign - however, the combot will automatically be destroyed 9 minutes after Hendrix informs you of the location of the disposal pit.}}
===How do I enable anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering?===
===How do I enable DirectInput for my mouse input?===
===How do I match my RF mouse sensitivity to my sensitivity in other games?===
===How do I run RF in a window or at a custom/widescreen resolution?===
{{Answer|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction support custom/widescreen resolutions, however Pure Faction doesn't properly scale the FOV for widescreen resolutions or properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it has fully implemented custom/widescreen resolution support. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}

==Common Issues when Launching Red Faction==
===Nothing happens when I try to launch the game, or it launches but immediately crashes===
{{Issue|If you're running an official Red Faction version, this issue is likely a compatibility issue with modern hardware or a modern operating system. If you're running Pure Faction, you may experience this issue as Pure Faction is not compatible with certain versions of Windows 10.|Installing and switching to [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] should resolve this issue for you.}}

===Error "Please insert Red Faction CD 2"===
{{Issue|You're running Red Faction version 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2, and those versions require CD 2 be in your CD-ROM drive for the game to launch.|Official version 1.21, as well as all commonly-used [[RF Clients#Community-Made|community versions of Red Faction]] resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game without CD 2 in your CD-ROM drive.}}
===Error "Unable to initialize DirectX 8.0"===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when launching Red Faction (particularly in full screen mode) on some new hardware.|All commonly-used community versions resolve this issue - we recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for maximum compatibility with new hardware and operating systems. You may need to launch the community version you choose in "windowed" or "stretched" mode as opposed to full screen mode to resolve this issue.}}
===Error "At least 8 MB of available video memory is required"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 is launched on a system with 2GiB or more available video memory.
At a technical level, the issue is caused by a signed DWORD being read as less than the minimum of 5MiB, and is resolved with the replacement of a signed less than comparision with an unsigned less than comparison.|Official version 1.21, as well as both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue and allow you to launch the game on systems with 2GiB or more available video memory.}}
===Error "Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing?"===
{{Issue|This error occurs when the stock file bluebeard.bty is missing from your Red Faction directory.|The fix for this issue is very simple. You will need to download an original Red Faction bluebeard.bty file (available on {{FFLink|517811|FactionFiles.com}}) and drop it into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}
===Error "Unsupported game executable has been detected."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means you've tried to hook an incompatible version of the game. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] was built as an add-on for Red Faction v1.20 (NA), and it requires that version to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer, which should patch your game as required so you have the right version. In very rare cases however, you may need to manually download the necessary version of rf.exe, place it in your Red Faction directory, and configure the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] "Game executable" (via the Options button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher) to the rf.exe you just downloaded. You can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

===Error "failed to inject DLL [...] win32 error 126 The specified module could not be found."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the required DashFaction.dll file is not in the same directory as DashFactionLauncher.exe. This may be because you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe to your desktop or another location, when you intended to instead create a shortcut.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to reinstall [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] via the installer. Alternatively, if you know that you've moved DashFactionLauncher.exe and/or DashFaction.dll out of the directory that contains the other [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] files, you can fix this issue by moving them both back.}}

===Error "../../launcher_common/process.h:126 : win32 error 5 Access is denied."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it usually means the game executable is requiring elevation to run.|The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher with elevated rights by right clicking on it and clicking "Run as Administrator".}}

===Error "Game executable has not been found. Please set a proper path in Options."===
{{Issue|If you get this error when attempting to launch [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], it means the "Game executable" field in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Options (accessible via the launcher) is not properly configured. This may be because you've moved your Red Faction executable to a new location.|To resolve this issue, click the "Options" button in DashFactionLauncher.exe and click the "Browse" button next to the "Game executable" field. Specify a Red Faction v1.20 NA executable, then click OK. If you don't have this file, you can download an original, unmodified rf.exe from v1.20 (NA) from {{FFLink|517545|FactionFiles.com}}. This rf.exe file should be dropped into your Red Faction directory.

{{StockRFDir}}}}

==Common In-Game Issues==
===Submarine explodes after Geothermal Plant===
{{Issue|This error occurs when Red Faction is running with a high framerate (FPS), as will almost always occur when its running on a modern computer.|There are 2 ways to handle this issue - the first a solution to the issue and the second a temporary workaround:}}
*Install the modern '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch which completely resolves the issue without requiring you to take any additional action '''(This is the best way to handle this issue and is highly recommended to fix this and other crippling issues with the game)'''
*Alternatively, as a workaround you could limit your framerate/FPS to less than 60 via external methods as the submarine drops from the crane

*Below is a video walkthrough on how to resolve this bug with the '''[[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''' patch if you'd rather watch than read a text guide:
<youtube>e4Vs3LPXX7A</youtube>

===I can't shoot, move, or jump; or my game is stuttering, glitching, warping, or running too fast===
{{Issue|Red Faction has numerous issues when running on systems with newer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to those in this list. There's not one issue to point to as the cause of these issues.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===Game has severe graphical issues===
{{Issue|Red Faction, particularly official versions v1.00 through to v1.20, suffers from a number of very severe graphical issues on modern hardware.|We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it resolves these issues and is compatible with all known hardware/operating system configurations. Some other community-made Red Faction clients resolve some amount of these issues, but [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is by far the most comprehensive solution.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops===
{{Issue|'''If you're running official version v1.21''', this issue occurs when some specific levels are loaded. At a technical level, it's caused by v1.21 not properly handling invalid floating point values within the entity orientation matrix.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===I'm getting severe framerate/FPS drops and I'm already using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]===
{{Issue|'''If you're already running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]''', this issue occurs when OBS or OBS Studio attempts to hook the game for recording/streaming if you have anti-aliasing enabled in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher.|To resolve this issue, exit the game and turn off anti-aliasing in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] Launcher options panel, then relaunch the game.}}
===Game crashes when I pick up items===
{{Issue|This issue occurs on official version v1.21 when you attempt to pick up weapon, health, armor, or ammo pickups while running the game at high resolutions.|No commonly-used community-made RF clients suffer from this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it does not suffer from this issue, includes proper support for high/custom/widescreen resolutions, and fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Game crashes when I attach pistol silencer, or when I get the "monkey suit"===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when you have a custom Pistol mod installed that doesn't have a proper silencer included.|Unfortunately, there is usually no easy way to repair Pistol mods to include a proper silencer. Therefore, you should remove your custom Pistol mod to fix this issue. If you don't remember which file included the mod, an easy way to remove any installed clientside mods is to empty (or rename) your '''\user_maps\multi\''' and '''\user_maps\single\''' directories.}}
===Sound from vehicles/robots/weapons is very loud or cuts off===
{{Issue|Red Faction doesn't correctly handle scaling sounds when you move the "Sound Effects" slider in the options menu, resulting in some sounds being very loud and/or cutting in and out based on your proximity to their source. The problem isn't known to occur with music or message volume.|If you're running Windows Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 10, or 2016, it is recommended to set the in-game Red Faction "Sound Effects" volume (in the Options->Audio panel) to 100%, then use the Windows volume mixer to scale the game's audio to the desired level.}}
===HUD elements are all jumbled together in top left corner of screen===
{{Issue|Red Faction official versions only support four resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024). If you try to use an official version of the game with any other resolution (including any widescreen resolutions), all HUD elements will be jumbled in the top left corner of the screen.|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue for multiplayer, however Pure Faction will not properly display vehicle HUDs or radio messages (from Eos, Hendrix, etc.) in single player. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], as it fully resolves this issue in all situations, meaning you will be able to play both single player and multiplayer without HUD issues. Furthermore, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] includes a "Big HUD" option, to enlarge the HUD when running at higher resolutions.}}
===Rail Driver scope is bugged and displaying yellow lines===
{{Issue|This issue usually happens when Red Faction is running in 16-bit mode.|To resolve this issue, set Red Faction to run in 32-bit mode.

* If you're using an official version, you can make this change by pressing the "SETUP" button in the Red Faction launcher, and setting "Framebuffer" to "32 Bit" on the "Video" tab, then pressing "OK."

* If you're using Pure Faction, you can make this change by going to the "Game Settings" tab of the Pure Faction launcher and setting "Colour Depth" to "32 Bit," then pressing "Save Settings."

* If you're using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], you can make this change by pressing the "Options" button in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] launcher, and setting "Color Depth" to "32 bits," then pressing "OK."}}
===Character reflection in mirrors is broken===
{{Issue|This issue (dubbed "Frankenparker" by the community) exists in all official versions of Red Faction after version 1.1, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by the skin for the miner Parker character model being applied to the mesh for undercover Parker.|This bug has been fixed in the [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version as of v1.3.0. When using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], Parker will go undercover without any such visual issues. As a bonus, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also increases the resolution of mirrors and screens, so you'll get a better look at the fixed undercover Parker.}}
===Audio in cutscenes isn't synced with facial animations===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]], and is caused by timing issues affecting the game to varying degrees based on the game's framerate while the cutscene is playing.|The [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] community made Red Faction version resolves this issue, and cutscene animations and audio will be properly synchronized when you're running [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] also includes an option to allow the player to skip cutscenes if they don't wish to watch them.}}
===I can't jump out of the water===
{{Issue|This known issue occurs on all official Red Faction versions when running at high framerates (FPS).|Both [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] and Pure Faction resolve this issue. We recommend [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] as it also fixes the vast majority of other issues you may encounter.}}
===Odd graphical or audio issues after the game has been open for a while===
{{Issue|A memory leak exists in all official Red Faction versions, as well as all community-made versions except [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] (v1.5.0+), which causes strange graphical or audio glitches if Red Faction has been open through a very large amount of level loads - this can occur when you save and load extremely often while playing through the single player campaign. This issue will eventually lead to your game fully freezing and/or crashing, and the loss of any unsaved progress.|Installing and using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] is the best solution for this issue, as [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] entirely resolves the issue (along with many other issues). Alternatively, as a workaround, you can restart your game the first time you notice this issue occuring.}}
===After loading a saved game, I'm in a different place in the level and I lost all my weapons===
{{Issue|This issue occurs when you save (or quicksave) your game when your character is out of bounds while using Pure Faction, resulting in an essentially corrupt savegame file.
At a technical level, this issue is caused by a "spawn error" because the game is unable to determine the proper entity to which your player should be assigned. When a "spawn error" occurs, you spawn as a new "miner1" entity with 100/100 health/armour and a 12mm Pistol with maximum ammo.|Unfortunately, as this issue is caused by a savegame file that has essentially been corrupted, no easy fix exists. We encourage you to save your game often, using different savegame filenames, so that if this rare issue were to occur, you can simply revert to an earlier savegame file.

Additionally, [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] resolves most savegame corruption issues, meaning your savegame files are less likely to become corrupt and result in this issue.}}

===Can I play Red Faction on Linux?===

===I've heard about Pure Faction and/or [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]]. What are they, and should I download them?===
{{Answer|Pure Faction and [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] are both third-party community-made patches for Red Faction that fix bugs, add features/enhancements, and provide a better play experience than the base game. In some cases, especially on modern systems and Windows versions, these third-party community-made patches may be the only way to play Red Faction, as the official versions suffer from numerous issues that commonly cause the game to run poorly or not at all.

Pure Faction has not been in active development for some time and should be considered obsolete. [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] however is in active development and will provide a significantly better play experience than Pure Faction or any official versions.

===How do I install and play custom mods?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of mods on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're installing mods from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained a mod from another source.

'''Installing Conversion Mods'''
* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Conversion Mods (RF1)]]

'''Installing Clientside Mods (Weapon Skins, Player Skins, or HUD / UI / Sound / Texture Mods)'''
* Please see our step-by-step guide: [[Installing Clientside Mods (RF1)]]
}}

===How do I install and play custom levels/maps?===
{{Answer|'''NOTE:''' We've tried to standardize the distribution format of both single player and multiplayer maps on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com] and this guide assumes you're getting them from there. These steps may not work for you if you obtained maps from another source.

'''Installing Multiplayer Maps'''
* To install custom multiplayer maps, simply extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded for the map to your "...\user_maps\multi" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\multi''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\multi''' for non-Steam users) After the .vpp files are extracted, restart your game, then the newly installed map should be visible in the "Create Server" panel.
* Alternatively, if you're using a community version of Red Faction, you can simply join an existing multiplayer server running a map you don't have. As long as that map is available on [https://factionfiles.com FactionFiles.com], you will be prompted to press a button to download and install it when you try to join.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Some maps, particularly newer maps, may not work properly unless you're running a new community-made client. We recommend using [[Dash_Faction_Installation_Guide|Dash Faction]] for the best experience.

'''Installing Single Player Campaigns/Maps'''
* Most single player campaigns/maps you download will include a text file with installation instructions. If the one you downloaded has such a text file (normally named "How to play MODNAME.txt"), follow those instructions. If such a text file doesn't exist, extract all .vpp files contained within the file you downloaded to your "...\user_maps\single" directory. (Normally this will be '''C:\Steam\steamapps\common\red faction\user_maps\single''' for Steam users, and '''C:\games\RedFaction\user_maps\single''' for non-Steam users)
* Once extracted, you'll need to launch the game, open console by pressing ~ (or `), then type "level LEVELNAME" and hit enter, where "LEVELNAME" is the filename of the first level. If you're unsure what filename this is, and it's not indicated in a text file distributed with the campaign/map, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.
* Of course, if you run into any issues installing or playing multiplayer or single player maps, please join us on the [https://discord.gg/fRrUzuV Red Faction Community Discord] for assistance.

===How do I make my own custom mods or levels?===

'''Red Faction N-Gage''' has both a single player campaign, and a peer-to-peer multiplayer component for up to 2 players connected via Bluetooth.

==Gameplay==
It is more linear first-person-shooter and more simplified/condensed version of the PS2 and PC versions. With brand new maps holding up the same theme of its own, while sticking to the original storyline. Gameplay consists inside Doom-generic type maps with secrets inside geomodable walls sprayed with decals or grafitti only. The player cannot blast walls everywhere they want. The enemies as soon as they see you, they will rush into you and starts shooting before you could possibly shoot them. There's no difficulty selecter either.

Due to not so convenient N-Gage Mobile controls, it is pretty difficult to maintain a steady aim against opponents, which not only sometimes they don't die right after you shoot them, but it requires some luck to engage hostiles cause the enemy hitscan is horrible. Platforming won't be friendly-user either, as it becomes frustrating to control yourself in mid air while reaching edges or avoiding death pits.

Weapons such as the Flamethrower and Precision Rifle are excluded. Vehicles like the Aesir Fighter, Driller and the Ultor APC are not present in the N-Gage version. The Sniper Rifle uses the same green scope as the Rail Driver, while the railgun itself cannot shoot through walls, but it can kill an enemy in one shot as it behaves the same way as the sniper.
You are forced to drive the Jeep in the second level of Capek's Lair even though it is optional to drive it, in the first part of the section.

The stealth sections almost works the same way as in the previous titles only this time, the players have all of their weapons returned to them should they ever fail at stealth. The bosses are equipped to shoot with pistols even though they die right away like ordinary enemies. The player shouldn't worry of second phases when they demolish the bosses's shields.
Lastly it doesn't have the bomb-defuse sequence set up by Mercenaries like in previous titles. As soon as the player reaches to rescue Eos, it marks the end of the game.

==Campaign==
The RF N-Gage single player campaign roughly replicates the [[Red Faction]] campaign. The player again assumes the role of [[Parker]], several sequences are very similar, and many of the level design choices reflect levels from the original game. Throughout the game, the player battles many familiar enemies, including [[Ultor Guard|Ultor Guards]], [[Elite Guard|Elite Guards]], [[Spike|Spike Drones]], and [[Mutant|Mutants]] - plus 2 "boss" enemies in [[Capek]] and [[Masako]].

All N-Gage campaign levels have been ported and remade into PC Version of the game as a total-conversion mod, now known as "RF N-Gage Remake". Available on FactionFiles here:
{{FFLink|5927|Red Faction N-Gage Remake}} along with a Promo N-Gage Addon for the mod itself, based on promotional N-Gage pictures that were supposed to be in the game itself but it never happened, forming a mini-campaign of its own: {{FFLink|6173|Red Faction N-Gage Promo Addon}}

===Easter Eggs===
*[[Dopefish]] - Making his Red Faction series debut, Dopefish (of Commander Keen fame) is featured in Red Faction (N-Gage). See [[Dopefish]] for more information.

==Multiplayer==
RF N-Gage multiplayer supports 2 players, joined via Bluetooth connection. Combat is very simple and is limited to only duel. RF N-Gage multiplayer is without a doubt the least accessible part of the game - it requires 2 compatible N-Gage hardware devices be within Bluetooth range, running Red Faction, and attempting to organize a game. Given the scarcity of N-Gage hardware devices even at the time of the game's release, it's safe to assume that Red Faction N-Gage's multiplayer component was never widely utilized. Furthermore, current emulation techniques are not compatible with the multiplayer component of the game.

RF N-Gage Multiplayer contains many of the weapons from the single player component and 5 entirely purpose-built custom levels that bare no resemblance to levels from the original [[Red Faction]] game.

'''Red Faction N-Gage Multiplayer Levels'''
* '''01: Hellpit''' - Small industrial-themed arena consisting of 3 small hallways surrounding a larger room which contains a [[Fusion Rocket Launcher]].
* '''02: Betrayal''' - Complex maze of corridors with rusted metal walls and black ceilings accented by an assortment of storage crates.
* '''03: Damagehall''' - Very simple merc base-themed level containing 2 large rooms and hallways connecting them.
* '''04: Destructor''' - Arena level containing 2 large rooms connected by straight hallways arranged in a grid.
* '''05: Jackhammer''' - The most vertical level in the game, this level contains 2 moderately-sized rooms connected by hallways and a upper vent the player can drop from to surprise their opponent.

All five RF N-Gage multiplayer levels have been ported to the PC version of the game and are available for download from FactionFiles: {{FFLink|4653|N-Gage RF MP Collection}}

Red Faction Multiplayer Guide

2022-11-09T13:11:30Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* Gametypes */

''NOTE: While much of the information in this article will carry over to PlayStation 2 multiplayer, the focus is PC multiplayer. This is because PlayStation 2 multiplayer is limited to botmatch and 2-player splitscreen (no online), only offers Deathmatch, and contains very few maps compared to the PC version.''

[[Red Faction]] multiplayer at its core is a competitive arena-based FPS. That said, it differs in a few fundamental ways from most other arena games - notably the armor system, movement mechanics, and of course the presence of [[GeoMod]] technology. This article will cover the main aspects of RF's multiplayer component, including the vast degree of innovation the community has shown since the game's original release in 2001.

==Essentials==
This section will list key points that any players of Red Faction multiplayer should know, but are not necessarily immediately obvious to everyone.

===Health and Armor===
* Headshots deal 2x damage. Torso shots deal 1x damage. Arm/leg shots deal 0.5x damage.
* Armor fully shields health, meaning damage you receive is always taken from your armor (if you have any) before being taken from your health.
* When damage calculations occur, armor counts for twice as much as health. It may help to consider your combined health and armor as "effective health" - meaning if you're at 100 health and 100 armor (normally written as 100/100), you have 300 effective health. Some examples are listed below.
** '''Example 1:''' You have 100/100 and take 150 damage. Since armor counts for twice as much as health, you will lose 75 armor, and end up at 100/25.
** '''Example 2:''' You have 100/10 and take 100 damage. Your armor will soak up 20 out of the 100 damage since armor counts for twice as much as health. This leaves 80 additional damage, which is taken from your health. You will end up at 20/0.
** '''Example 3:''' You have 100/100 and take 275 damage. Your armor will soak up 200 out of the 275 damage since armor counts for twice as much as health. This leaves 75 additional damage, which is taken from your health. You will end up at 25/0.

===Item Respawn Times===
* [[Damage Amplifier]]: 90 seconds
* [[Super Health]], [[Super Armor]], [[Fusion Rocket Launcher]]: 60 seconds
* [[Invulnerability]]: 45 seconds
* Everything else: 20 seconds
** '''NOTE:''' Level designers do have the option to set different respawn times for items in their map - though most level designers just leave the default values.

===Bullet Penetration & Spread===
* The [[Sniper Rifle]] and [[Precision Rifle]] become 100% accurate (spread does not apply) when the scope is engaged, regardless of the zoom level.
* The impact location of bullets on your screen '''does not''' indicate where the bullet went for damage calculation purposes. If you hear a blood impact sound and see a blood particle emitter spawn, that '''does not''' necessarily mean the bullet dealt damage to your opponent. This is because spread is calculated independently on the server and for each client, but only the server's spread matters for damage calculation purposes.
* You can shoot through any grating with bullet weapons in multiplayer with 100% penetration. Even if you see and hear the bullet hit a "solid" looking part of a grating texture, that bullet still went through the grating and dealt damage.
* Bullet ricochets do not deal any damage in multiplayer. Even if you see and hear the bullet ricochet, ricocheted shots do not deal damage to players.

==Gametypes==
*'''Deathmatch (DM)''' - Standard free-for-all arena deathmatch. Each frag adds 1 to the individual player score, and each suicide subtracts 1.
**'''Deathrun (RUN)''' - Though not literally implemented in the game as a gametype distinct from DeathMatch, deathrun/run maps have become an extremely popular "gametype" under DM tag within the online community. "Run maps" are race or obstacle course maps where the goal is normally to have fun with friends and race to the finish line without killing competitors. For more information visit: [https://redfactionwiki.com/wiki/Run_Maps Run Maps Section]
*'''Team Deathmatch (TDM or TeamDM)''' - Standard arena deathmatch, but with two teams rather than free-for-all. Each frag adds 1 to the individual player score and team score. Each suicide subtracts 1 from the individual player score, but not the team score. Winning team is determined by team score, when either the frag or time limit is reached.
::''NOTE:'' Team-specific respawn points are respected in Team Deathmatch if the server is running [[Dash Faction]] or [[Pure Faction]]. If the server is running an official version, team flags on respawn points are ignored and each player's spawn point is determined randomly as in normal Deathmatch.
*'''Capture the Flag (CTF)''' - Standard arena capture the flag. Each frag, flag return, or flag capture adds 1 to the individual player score. Each suicide subtracts 1. Each flag capture adds 1 to the team score. Winning team is determined by team score, when either the capture or time limit is reached.
**'''Rail-Only CTF''' - Normal CTF, but the only available weapon is the [[Rail Driver]]. Though not literally implemented in the game as a gametype distinct from normal CTF, Rail-Only CTF has become a very popular "gametype" within the online community.

** '''Example 2:''' You have 100/10 and take 100 damage. Your armor will soak up 20 out of the 100 damage since armor counts for twice as much as health. This leaves 80 additional damage, which is taken from your health. You will end up at 20/0.
** '''Example 3:''' You have 100/100 and take 275 damage. Your armor will soak up 200 out of the 275 damage since armor counts for twice as much as health. This leaves 75 additional damage, which is taken from your health. You will end up at 25/0.

===Item Respawn Times===
* [[Damage Amplifier]]: 90 seconds
* [[Super Health]], [[Super Armor]], [[Fusion Rocket Launcher]]: 60 seconds
* [[Invulnerability]]: 45 seconds
* Everything else: 20 seconds
** '''NOTE:''' Level designers do have the option to set different respawn times for items in their map - though most level designers just leave the default values.

===Bullet Penetration & Spread===
* The [[Sniper Rifle]] and [[Precision Rifle]] become 100% accurate (spread does not apply) when the scope is engaged, regardless of the zoom level.
* The impact location of bullets on your screen '''does not''' indicate where the bullet went for damage calculation purposes. If you hear a blood impact sound and see a blood particle emitter spawn, that '''does not''' necessarily mean the bullet dealt damage to your opponent. This is because spread is calculated independently on the server and for each client, but only the server's spread matters for damage calculation purposes.
* You can shoot through any grating with bullet weapons in multiplayer with 100% penetration. Even if you see and hear the bullet hit a "solid" looking part of a grating texture, that bullet still went through the grating and dealt damage.
* Bullet ricochets do not deal any damage in multiplayer. Even if you see and hear the bullet ricochet, ricocheted shots do not deal damage to players.

==Gametypes==
*'''Deathmatch (DM)''' - Standard free-for-all arena deathmatch. Each frag adds 1 to the individual player score, and each suicide subtracts 1.
**'''Deathrun (RUN)''' - Though not literally implemented in the game as a gametype distinct from DM, deathrun/run maps have become an extremely popular "gametype" within the online community. "Run maps" are race or obstacle course maps where the goal is normally to have fun with friends and race to the end of the course. For more information visit: [https://redfactionwiki.com/wiki/Run_Maps Run Maps Section]
*'''Team Deathmatch (TDM or TeamDM)''' - Standard arena deathmatch, but with two teams rather than free-for-all. Each frag adds 1 to the individual player score and team score. Each suicide subtracts 1 from the individual player score, but not the team score. Winning team is determined by team score, when either the frag or time limit is reached.
::''NOTE:'' Team-specific respawn points are respected in Team Deathmatch if the server is running [[Dash Faction]] or [[Pure Faction]]. If the server is running an official version, team flags on respawn points are ignored and each player's spawn point is determined randomly as in normal Deathmatch.
*'''Capture the Flag (CTF)''' - Standard arena capture the flag. Each frag, flag return, or flag capture adds 1 to the individual player score. Each suicide subtracts 1. Each flag capture adds 1 to the team score. Winning team is determined by team score, when either the capture or time limit is reached.
**'''Rail-Only CTF''' - Normal CTF, but the only available weapon is the [[Rail Driver]]. Though not literally implemented in the game as a gametype distinct from normal CTF, Rail-Only CTF has become a very popular "gametype" within the online community.

Red Faction Multiplayer Guide

2022-11-09T13:07:30Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* Gametypes */

''NOTE: While much of the information in this article will carry over to PlayStation 2 multiplayer, the focus is PC multiplayer. This is because PlayStation 2 multiplayer is limited to botmatch and 2-player splitscreen (no online), only offers Deathmatch, and contains very few maps compared to the PC version.''

[[Red Faction]] multiplayer at its core is a competitive arena-based FPS. That said, it differs in a few fundamental ways from most other arena games - notably the armor system, movement mechanics, and of course the presence of [[GeoMod]] technology. This article will cover the main aspects of RF's multiplayer component, including the vast degree of innovation the community has shown since the game's original release in 2001.

==Essentials==
This section will list key points that any players of Red Faction multiplayer should know, but are not necessarily immediately obvious to everyone.

===Health and Armor===
* Headshots deal 2x damage. Torso shots deal 1x damage. Arm/leg shots deal 0.5x damage.
* Armor fully shields health, meaning damage you receive is always taken from your armor (if you have any) before being taken from your health.
* When damage calculations occur, armor counts for twice as much as health. It may help to consider your combined health and armor as "effective health" - meaning if you're at 100 health and 100 armor (normally written as 100/100), you have 300 effective health. Some examples are listed below.
** '''Example 1:''' You have 100/100 and take 150 damage. Since armor counts for twice as much as health, you will lose 75 armor, and end up at 100/25.
** '''Example 2:''' You have 100/10 and take 100 damage. Your armor will soak up 20 out of the 100 damage since armor counts for twice as much as health. This leaves 80 additional damage, which is taken from your health. You will end up at 20/0.
** '''Example 3:''' You have 100/100 and take 275 damage. Your armor will soak up 200 out of the 275 damage since armor counts for twice as much as health. This leaves 75 additional damage, which is taken from your health. You will end up at 25/0.

===Item Respawn Times===
* [[Damage Amplifier]]: 90 seconds
* [[Super Health]], [[Super Armor]], [[Fusion Rocket Launcher]]: 60 seconds
* [[Invulnerability]]: 45 seconds
* Everything else: 20 seconds
** '''NOTE:''' Level designers do have the option to set different respawn times for items in their map - though most level designers just leave the default values.

Each flag capture adds 1 to the team score. Winning team is determined by team score, when either the capture or time limit is reached.
**'''Rail-Only CTF''' - Normal CTF, but the only available weapon is the [[Rail Driver]]. Though not literally implemented in the game as a gametype distinct from normal CTF, Rail-Only CTF has become a very popular "gametype" within the online community.

Run Maps

2022-11-09T13:01:31Z

MysticaL-AceR:

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a deathmatch map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

2022-11-09T12:58:47Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* List of Run Mappers and Maps */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a DM map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

2022-11-09T12:54:32Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* MysticaL-AceR */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a DM map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

MysticaL-AceR: /* List of run mappers and maps */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a DM map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

2022-11-09T12:22:29Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* ice */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a DM map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

2022-11-09T12:18:53Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* Spikey2005 */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a DM map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Run Maps

MysticaL-AceR: /* Ninja */

''This article is regarding [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]''

"Run" maps are a style of level for the original [[Red Faction (Game)|Red Faction]]. Run maps were born with the release of Cyrus's "Deathrun". Many other Red Faction mappers have expanded on Cyrus's original concept over the years.

==Details==
A run map is in essence a race in an obstacle course. To win the map, you must be the first to reach the finish. Some run maps may require teamwork to reach further challenges. Most incorporate some form of checkpoints.

Creating a run map is similar to creating a DM map, but a run mapper must also include more complex event and trigger systems than normally seen in standard DM maps. Since by default Red Faction doesn't sync the position of movers upon joining the server, late joiners would often find checkpoint doors permanently closed. In later years, various event systems were devised to work around this problem, but with the advent of [[Pure Faction]] 3.0, mover states are synced even for older maps that did not include workarounds. PF3 also brought in support for teleporters which have enjoyed lots of use in modern run maps.

Red Faction (Mobile)

2022-01-31T06:48:01Z

MysticaL-AceR: /* Gameplay */

{{Infobox Game
|name = Red Faction (Mobile)
|image = [[Image:RFMob1.png|200px]]
|imagedesc = RF Mobile Title Screen
|release = Oct 20, 2005
|platform = Mobile phone
|developer = Blue Beck
|publisher = THQ Wireless
}}
'''Red Faction Mobile''' is a 2005 top-down game which serves as a prequel to the first [[Red Faction]] game. It was developed by Blue Beck and released worldwide in October 2005 by THQ Wireless.

==Gameplay==
Being a top-down hit and run game, the gameplay is pretty much going from point A to point B shooter style playthrough. With a minimap that shows the player their direction of the objectives through out 8 top-down maze levels.

There's no difficulty selection, all enemies look the same as well your comrades looking exactly as the player, and the gunplay behaves like one of those retro invaders style shooters.

==Campaign==
RF Mobile sees the player assume the role of [[Red Faction (Group)|Red Faction]] member [[Kava Xarel]] who, along with fellow rebel [[Angus Brute]], were sent on a mission to steal weapons and ammunition from [[Ultor]] to prepare for the upcoming revolt. During this mission, Kava and Angus were caught by [[Ultor]] security, Angus was wounded, and Kava was forced to leave him behind and make way to a supply ship bound for Earth in order to survive. The campaign follows Kava on their quest to escape Mars.

The following message is provided to the player when starting the campaign:
:: ''After a fire fight, your trusty comrade, Angus Brute, has fallen. You are stuck, you cannot go back to the barracks, you must escape on the next supply ship out of this god forsaken place.''

Throughout the campaign, [[Kava Xarel|Kava]] is assisted by several other [[Red Faction (Group)|Red Faction]] members:
* '''[[Sekt]]''' - Rebel who gives [[Kava Xarel|Kava]] a radio during the first level which he then uses to communicates with them throughout the campaign to warn about upcoming challenges. Sekt then meets up with Kava on the fourth level of the compound and receives a circuit board from the player which he uses to deactivate the security system throughout the rest of the compound.
* '''[[Cremant|Crémant]]''' - Rebel who gives [[Kava Xarel|Kava]] a circuit board to drop off to [[Sekt]], then helps deactivates the [[Ultor]] security system for the first level, allowing Kava access to the second level of the compound. Crémant then meets up with Kava on the eighth level of the compound and directs them to the docking bay.
* '''[[Beluga]]''' - [[Ultor]] employee who allies with the [[Red Faction (Group)|Red Faction]] and helps [[Kava Xarel|Kava]] escape after security has been alerted.

The campaign ends with [[Kava Xarel|Kava]] successfully escaping Mars, and being instructed to spread the word and find more comrades to rise up and defeat [[Ultor]] in the upcoming revolt.

Red Faction (N-Gage)

MysticaL-AceR: /* Gameplay */

{{Infobox Game
|name = Red Faction (N-Gage)
|image = [[Image:RFNGBoxArt1.jpg|250px]]
|imagedesc = RF N-Gage Box Art
|release = Dec 10, 2003 (NA) Dec 12, 2003 (EU)
|platform = Nokia N-Gage
|developer = Monkeystone Games
|publisher = THQ Wireless
}}
'''Red Faction N-Gage''' is a 2003 port of the first [[Red Faction]] game to Nokia's N-Gage platform. The port was developed by John Romero and Tom Hall's Monkeystone Games studio. John Romero has stated that he didn't play [[Red Faction]] prior to developing the N-Gage port. '''Red Faction N-Gage''' has both a single player campaign, and a peer-to-peer multiplayer component for up to 2 players connected via Bluetooth.

==Gameplay==
It is more linear first-person-shooter and more simplified/condensed version of the PS2 and PC versions. With brand new maps holding up the same theme of its own, while sticking to the original storyline. Gameplay consists inside Doom-generic type maps with secrets inside geomodable walls sprayed with decals or grafitti only. The player cannot blast walls everywhere they want. The enemies as soon as they see you, they will rush into you and starts shooting before you could possibly shoot them. There's no difficulty selecter either.

Due to not so convenient N-Gage Mobile controls, it is pretty difficult to maintain a steady aim against opponents, which not only sometimes they don't die right after you shoot them, but it requires some luck to engage hostiles cause the enemy hitscan is horrible. Platforming won't be friendly-user either, as it becomes frustrating to control yourself in mid air while reaching edges or avoiding death pits.

Weapons such as the Flamethrower and Precision Rifle are excluded. Vehicles like the Aesir Fighter, Driller and the Ultor APC are not present in the N-Gage version. The Sniper Rifle uses the same green scope as the Rail Driver, while the railgun itself cannot shoot through walls, but it can kill an enemy in one shot as it behaves the same way as the sniper.
You are forced to drive the Jeep in the second level of Capek's Lair even though it is optional to drive it, in the first part of the section.

The stealth sections almost works the same way as in the previous titles only this time, the players have all of their weapons returned to them should they ever fail at stealth. The bosses are equipped to shoot with pistols even though they die right away like ordinary enemies. The player shouldn't worry of second phases when they demolish the bosses's shields.
Lastly it doesn't have the bomb-defuse sequence set up by Mercenaries like in previous titles. As soon as the player reaches to rescue Eos, it marks the end of the game.

==Campaign==
The RF N-Gage single player campaign roughly replicates the [[Red Faction]] campaign. The player again assumes the role of [[Parker]], several sequences are very similar, and many of the level design choices reflect levels from the original game. Throughout the game, the player battles many familiar enemies, including [[Ultor Guard|Ultor Guards]], [[Elite Guard|Elite Guards]], [[Spike|Spike Drones]], and [[Mutant|Mutants]] - plus 2 "boss" enemies in [[Capek]] and [[Masako]].

All N-Gage campaign levels have been ported and remade into PC Version of the game as a total-conversion mod, now known as "RF N-Gage Remake". Available on FactionFiles here:

===Easter Eggs===
*[[Dopefish]] - Making his Red Faction series debut, Dopefish (of Commander Keen fame) is featured in Red Faction (N-Gage). See [[Dopefish]] for more information.

==Multiplayer==
RF N-Gage multiplayer supports 2 players, joined via Bluetooth connection. Combat is very simple and is limited to only duel. RF N-Gage multiplayer is without a doubt the least accessible part of the game - it requires 2 compatible N-Gage hardware devices be within Bluetooth range, running Red Faction, and attempting to organize a game. Given the scarcity of N-Gage hardware devices even at the time of the game's release, it's safe to assume that Red Faction N-Gage's multiplayer component was never widely utilized. Furthermore, current emulation techniques are not compatible with the multiplayer component of the game.

RF N-Gage Multiplayer contains many of the weapons from the single player component and 5 entirely purpose-built custom levels that bare no resemblance to levels from the original [[Red Faction]] game.

'''Red Faction N-Gage Multiplayer Levels'''
* '''01: Hellpit''' - Small industrial-themed arena consisting of 3 small hallways surrounding a larger room which contains a [[Fusion Rocket Launcher]].
* '''02: Betrayal''' - Complex maze of corridors with rusted metal walls and black ceilings accented by an assortment of storage crates.
* '''03: Damagehall''' - Very simple merc base-themed level containing 2 large rooms and hallways connecting them.
* '''04: Destructor''' - Arena level containing 2 large rooms connected by straight hallways arranged in a grid.
* '''05: Jackhammer''' - The most vertical level in the game, this level contains 2 moderately-sized rooms connected by hallways and a upper vent the player can drop from to surprise their opponent.

All five RF N-Gage multiplayer levels have been ported to the PC version of the game and are available for download from FactionFiles: {{FFLink|4653|N-Gage RF MP Collection}}
