| | 19 August 2023 |
| * SyncFaction v9 was recently released on the 14th of March, 2023. Please update before game night!
| |
| | |
| == Multiplayer Server Status ==
| |
| | |
| * Steam version: Fix already included in latest update from Steam.
| |
| * GOG version: You will need to manually replace <code>sw_api.dll</code> in the <code>Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered</code> folder with the one from here: https://github.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch/raw/main/z_debug/mp_fix/gog/sw_api.dll
| |
| | |
| == Installing Terraform Patch ==
| |
| | |
| # Download https://github.com/Rast1234/SyncFaction/releases/download/v9/SyncFaction.exe
| |
| # Open SyncFaction.
| |
| # The first time you run it SyncFaction will take some time verifying your game files are vanilla, if you encounter any errors please delete the <code>.syncfaction</code> folder in <code>data</code> and verify your game in Steam. 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.
| |
| # After SyncFaction is done verifying you will see a button at the bottom middle <code>Update to latest Community Patch</code>, click it & SyncFaction will automatically download and install the patch; you will see the progress tracked in the log.
| |
| # When it has successfully installed the patch you will see this wiki page instead of the log along with <code>Run Game</code>, <code>Apply</code> & <code>Refresh</code> buttons, you don't need to do anything else and can close SyncFaction now.
| |
| | |
| == Updating Terraform Patch ==
| |
| | |
| * If you've played game nights before, get latest SF version and let it do the update: https://github.com/Rast1234/SyncFaction/releases/download/v9/SyncFaction.exe
| |
| * No need to waste time verifying game with Steam!
| |
| | |
| == 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!
| |
| * '''DON'T''' use RSL1 for the Steam version of the game, it won't allow you into multiplayer due to cheating concerns.
| |
| * 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.
| |
| * If your anti virus detects <code>SyncFaction.exe</code> 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.
| |
| * If your game crashes on startup it's possible you incorrectly replaced <code>sw_api.dll</code> for the Steam version when that is only needed for the GOG version, try restoring it to the Steam version: https://github.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch/raw/main/z_debug/mp_fix/steam/sw_api.dll
| |
| * If you're unable to move your character, pause the game and then unpause.
| |
| * If you're unable to connect to a lobby, go back to the main menu then back into multiplayer. If it still doesn't work you will need to restart your game, the host of the lobby can also try starting a new lobby if it still doesn't work.
| |
| * If your GPU only has 1gb of VRAM try turning down all graphics settings down to minimum.
| |
| * '''NUCLEAR''' option if other troubleshooting steps above fail or your game is frequently crashing: 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.
| |
| * This app release is not tested thoroughly so please be patient & report any bugs to rast1234.
| |
| | |
| === 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 v1.075 ALPHA</code> at the bottom right. Example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch/main/misc.vpp_pc/E_TEXTURE_CHANGES/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 & custom maps when going through map selection such as Storage, Abandoned, Nordic Bonus, Ruins, Imperial etc.
| |
| * You should see DLC Weapons when going through weapons such as the Subverter, Spiker, Misslepod etc.
| |
| * You should see new characters in the multiplayer customization screen such as Jenkins, Sam, Voice of Mars etc.
| |
| | |
| === Networking Issues ===
| |
| | |
| * As the game relies on THQN servers and it seems NAT punching isn't always reliable some connection issues like not being able to join certain player & players not being able to join you may require manual configuration of your network to resolve.
| |
| * Ensure <code>rfg.exe</code> isn't blocked by the Windows Firewall for both <code>Inbound</code> and <code>Outbound</code> connections. You can make new rules to <code>Allow the connection</code> for both <code>Inbound</code> and <code>Outbound</code> by searching for <code>Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security</code>. See the guide below for more advanced instructions.
| |
| * Ensure all the games ports are forwarded in your routers firewall: you will need to setup a Static IP on your computer and forward the following ports in your router: <code>TCP: 80</code>, <code>UDP: 88</code>, <code>TCP/UDP: 443</code>, <code>TCP/UDP: 3074</code>, <code>UDP: 3478</code>, <code>UDP: 4379-4380</code>, <code>TCP/UDP: 23022</code>, <code>TCP/UDP: 38888</code>, <code>TCP/UDP 27000-27100</code> & <code>TCP/UDP: 61111</code>. Consult your routers manual on how to do this and see the guide below for detailed instructions on setting up a Static IP.
| |
| * You can also setup DMZ for your Static IP but this is less secure. Consult your routers manual on how to do this.
| |
| * It's possible your ISP is blocking ports, you can try using their app if they provide one or calling them and asking them to unblock all ports.
| |
| * It's possible issues may be caused by a bad router/modem.

| | |
| === Configs & Save Data Corruption ===
| |
| | |
| * It's unknown if this is required but it might be worth a try if you've followed all previous troubleshooting steps and you're still having issues with your game.
| |
| * Delete <code>config.ini</code> in <code>%APPDATA%\kaiko\rfg\</code>. This will reset all your settings to default and you will have to reconfigure them the next time you start your game.
| |
| * Steam save: <code><Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\667720\remote\</code> or <code><Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\667720\remote\autocloud\save</code>. Backup <code>keen_savegame_0_0.sav</code> and delete it. Warning: this will reset both your singleplayer and multiplayer progress.
| |
| * GOG save: <code>%LOCALAPPDATA%\GOG.com\Galaxy\Applications\51153410217180642\Storage\Shared\Files\autocloud\save\</code>. Backup <code>keen_savegame_0_0.sav</code> and delete it. Warning: this will reset both your singleplayer and multiplayer progress.
| |
| * Note: It's possible to transfer the Steam save to GOG or vice versa so you can try that also.
