	~~Latest version is '''build 2023~~-09-~~18'''. See your version in window title above. Update from [https://github.com/rfg-modding/SyncFaction/releases GitHub] if needed.~~		===== 2026-06-07 =====

	~~===== 2023-09-29 =====~~		Multiplayer communities switched to vanilla (unmodded) version of the game. To unmod yours, press <code>Dev mode > Restore to vanilla</code> in SyncFaction. If you have any issues, ask in FF Discord or just reinstall the game.

	~~RFG~~ now ~~asks you to launch it with SyncFaction or Launcher~~.~~exe instead of directly starting rfg~~.~~exe. This is done~~ to ~~prevent users joining without Reconstructor patch. This would cause crashes~~ for ~~everyone in a lobby.~~		Also we have two communities now:

			* [https://discord.gg/factionfiles FactionFiles Discord]
			* [https://steamcommunity.com/chat/invite/AIMCH8E7 Steam RFG Multiplayer Group chat]

			Join and feel free to ask for some matches anytime!

	We have regular parties ~~1-2 times~~ a week~~. This is basically the only~~ time ~~when multiplayer is active~~. Things to know if you want to join:		We have regular parties once a week and sometimes at random time, too. Things to know if you want to join:


Line 10:		Line 10:

	* You need RFG Re-mars-tered. GOG or Steam, clean install without mods		* You need RFG Re-mars-tered. GOG or Steam, clean install without mods
	* ~~Use [https://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=file&id=7724 SyncFaction] to update your game with community patches. It takes some time, also you will need '''40GiB''' of free space~~		* Join Discord or Steam group. Game is very clunky and requires constant coordination to play.
	* Meanwhile, join [https://discord.gg/factionfiles FactionFiles Discord]. ~~Check out '''server events''' for upcoming RFG~~ Game ~~Night, also visit <code>#role-selection</code> channel~~ to ~~receive pings when party starts~~

	~~That's it~~, you~~'re all set! 💥~~		You absolutely need some channel of communication with players because game is prone to crashing, disconnecting, throwing players in different lobbies, does not have proper server list, and does not allow joining a started match or a match that you dropped out of.

	== ~~Are you in a hurry?~~ ==		=== FactionFiles Discord ===

	~~If you just landed here~~ and ~~want to hop into ongoing game night, there is a shortcut to get you going ASAP. Please note that this way you will not receive auto~~-~~updates and '''you'll have to redo your setup properly''' later~~.		See upcoming event time at [https://www.factionfiles.com/ FactionFiles]. Join [https://discord.gg/factionfiles Discord] and visit <code>#role-selection</code> channel.

	<~~div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-aaa"~~>		You can also ping relevant roles in <code>#rfg-matchmaking</code> (PC, PS, XBOX) anytime if you want to find players
	~~<span class="mw~~-~~customtoggle-aaa">~~<code>~~[Click~~ to ~~expand]</code></span>~~
	~~<div class="mw-collapsible-content">~~

	* Download [https://rfg.rast.rocks/rfg_gog_patched_light.zip already patched files]		=== Steam Group ===
	* Unpack them to your RFG folder, overwriting existing files
	* You will not receive any support if something doesn't work! It is not a recommended way. Only a shortcut to cut install time for players who didn't have time to prepare and who know what they are doing fiddling with game files manually

	</~~div><~~/~~div>~~		There is [https://steamcommunity.com/chat/invite/AIMCH8E7 Steam RFG Multiplayer Group chat] where people play at random times. Join and feel free to ask for some matches anytime!
	~~== Finding games ==~~

	* In Multiplayer menu, do not use "Matchmaking" option - it's broken. '''Use "Find game" every time''' you want to join a match
	* To host, use "Custom match with party"
	* If you can't see an existing lobby, go to main menu and then back to Multiplayer again. It resets something in the game and really helps
	* Game bugs out and crashes quite often. Join discord voice chat during game night to coordinate with other players, even if you are just listening. You'll know if there's a lobby, an ongoing game, etc

	== ~~Mods?~~ ==		== Modding ==

	~~If you just want to install some mods~~ and ~~don't care about~~ multiplayer, ~~you still need SyncFaction~~ and ~~community patches: follow~~ the ~~above steps~~ to install everything. Recent mods are developed and tested with community patches as requirement and may not work otherwise. If you are familiar with '''ModManager''', SyncFaction is a fully compatible replacement with more features and less bugs.		There is a community patch and a mod manager that were used for multiplayer. While they add more content (weapons, maps, player models), bring balance and fixes, the game is very unfriendly to modding.

	~~Mods can be downloaded and managed directly in the app, or placed manually in <code>C:\Program Files~~ (~~x86~~)~~\Steam\steamapps\common\Red Faction Guerrilla Re-MARS-tered\data\.syncfaction</code>, similar as ModManager had "Mods" folder. More info~~ in ~~[https://rfg-modding.github.io/SyncFaction/#/usage SyncFaction docs]~~.		'''Multiplayer communities ultimately decided to move back to vanilla (unmodded) game because playerbase is very small and any obstacle in bringing new players is not helping.
			'''

	~~SyncFaction takes many precautions to ensure game files are not corrupted~~ or ~~otherwise messed~~ up~~, which makes applying mods take much longer if the game is installed on an HDD. It is recommended you install the game on an SSD if possible~~.		Following section is useful for single-player modding or setting up private matches with your friends.

	~~== More detailed guide ==~~

	~~Same steps but with more info and explanations~~

	~~You’ll need~~ to ~~install~~ community~~-made patches to play~~. Download size is several gigabytes so please take some time to prepare.		Modern mods are designed to work with community patch as base. Download size is several gigabytes so please take some time to prepare.
