Red Faction version 1.3 was a third-party, community made update. It was not an official version released by Volition like 1.1 and 1.2. Version 1.3 was coded by SubZ, TrotSkie, and harmLE$$.
Purpose
Version 1.3 was created to stop cheating. It removed the green team glitch, used extra VPP checks to stop table mods from working, and used modified class names to prevent MYTH attaching to the process.
Functionality
Version 1.3 allowed users to join 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 servers. 1.3 servers appeared with fading colours in the serverlist.
To 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0 users, 1.3 servers are shown in the server list as "incompatible version" and they are not able to join.
Effectiveness
While stopping the petty table mods most cheaters used, version 1.3 was unable to stop triggerbots or Click-A-Lot.
Influence
For some reason, a decent percentage of the community thought that there was a hidden backdoor in 1.3. There was no such backdoor.
