You can quickly find your game folder by right clicking RF:G in your Steam library, selecting properties, clicking Local files and finally Browse. Verify integrity of game files is also found here.

== Troubleshooting ==
 
* Make sure you're on the latest SF version and update: https://github.com/Rast1234/SyncFaction/releases/download/v9/SyncFaction.exe
* If you suspect your game is corrupted, please delete the <code>.syncfaction</code> folder in <code>data</code> and verify your game.
* Sometimes after installing the required .NET version you will need to restart your computer for SF to work.
* '''DON'T''' install any mods or maps on top of the patch or you'll corrupt your game!
* If you have both the Steam & GOG versions installed, lots of drives or SF is having issues finding your game install try putting <code>SyncFaction.exe</code> with <code>rfg.exe</code> in the respective game versions folder.
* Nuclear option if other troubleshooting steps above fail: delete the entire <code>data</code> folder and verify game in Steam. If using GOG completely uninstall the game and install from scratch and then use the latest SF version to re-install the Terraform Patch.
* If your anti virus detects SyncFaction.exe as malware you can be assured it's a false positive, it's open source on github and developed by a trusted member of the community. You can safely make an exception in your anti virus software.
* If SyncFaction has trouble downloading the patch and shows an error starting with <code>System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException</code> it's probably being blocked by your firewall.
* This app release is not tested thoroughly so please be patient 😛
 
=== Saving Space ===
 
* After you've updated to the current latest version of the patch it's safe to delete the <code>\data\.syncfaction\mod_xxx</code> folders.
* This is because previous patch versions are cached there and not needed since last update is not incremental.
 
=== Confirming Patch Installed Correctly ===
 
* On the first loading screen before the main menu you should see <code>Terraform Patch v1.071 ALPHA</code> at the bottom right. Example: https://github.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch/blob/main/misc.vpp_pc/TEXTURES/SOURCE/ui_loading_init.png?raw=true
* When creating a custom match the default options should have fleetfoot selected as the starting backpack.
* You should see DLC Wrecking Crew maps when going through map selection such as Abandoned, Nordic Bonus, Ruins, Imperial etc.
* You should see DLC Weapons when going through weapons such as the Subverter, Spiker, Misslepod etc.
