| |
| ==Step 2: Extract Dash Faction Files==
| |
| Extract all files included in the .zip file download to a new folder in a location of your choice. Personally, I create a new folder named Dash within my Red Faction folder and extract the files to that folder, but it could be any empty folder on your system.

| | |
| ''The files should not be extracted directly to your Red Faction directory''

| ==Step 3: Rename old RF.exe==
| |
| Either delete or rename the existing RF.exe file in your Red Faction folder. The screenshot to the right shows it being renamed.
