|
| == Multiplayer Server Status ==
| | RFG now asks you to launch it with SyncFaction or Launcher.exe instead of directly starting rfg.exe. This is done to prevent users joining without Reconstructor patch. This would cause crashes for everyone in a lobby. |
|
| |
|
| * 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/debug/mp_fix/gog/sw_api.dll
| | ===== Would you like to know more? ===== |
| * Steam version: Fix already included in latest update from Steam.

| == Installing Terraform Patch ==
| | * [https://www.redfactionwiki.com/wiki/RF:G_Intro Introduction for new players] |
| | | * [[RF:G Troubleshooting]] |
| # Download https://github.com/Rast1234/SyncFaction/releases/download/v9/SyncFaction.exe
| | * [[RF:G Recommended Competitive Game Settings]] |
| # Open SyncFaction.
| | * Join [https://discord.gg/factionfiles FactionFiles Discord] and subscribe to RF:G Game Night events. Get notified when it's time to explode and destroy stuff! |
| # 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.
| | __notoc__ |
| # 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's 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!
| |
| * 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.
