What's the difference between Steam Edition and Re-Mars-tered?

Reworked graphics, adding specular mapping and other features Improved shadow rendering Improved lighting engine Rework of shader & postprocessing features Native 4k support Ability to reset destruction for all structures Previously multiplayer-exclusive features now available in single player - different sledgehammers, backpacks, and Reconstructor as examples.

Why is there frequent lag while playing multiplayer?

Answer: Due to the game's multiplayer using a peer-to-peer networking model, and the lack of traditional dedicated servers, the "server" is hosted by one of the players in a game. Because of this, gameplay will likely be laggy at times, depending on the performance and network connection of the player chosen as the host. If you're using the Terraform Patch, the player who starts the custom game lobby will always remain the host. This mitigates the majority of the lag if the lobby host has good connection and performance as host migration as been completely removed in the patch.

Can I host a dedicated server for Steam Edition or Re-Mars-tered?

Answer: No, both game editions use a peer-to-peer networking model - which effectively means that dedicated servers don't exist. The "server" is hosted by one of the individual players in the game.

Does anyone still play multiplayer?

Answer: While both Steam Edition and Re-Mars-tered multiplayer isn't especially active, it does have players. Unfortunately, due to the playlist system and peer-to-peer networking model, it's often difficult to find other players to play with. The most reliable method of finding other RF:G or RF:GR players to play with is to join the Red Faction Community Discord and use the #rfg-matchmaking channel to attempt to organize games. The Discord supports matchmaking across all platforms on which RF:G and RF:GR were released.
