Latest version is '''build 2023-09-18'''. See your version in window title above. Update from [https://github.com/rfg-modding/SyncFaction/releases GitHub] if needed.


# Terraform Patch v1.07 is out! It is rebuilt from scratch: less bugs, smaller size, '''new maps'''! See details below.
===== 2023-09-29 =====
# Multiplayer for GOG version is currently broken. Steam version has been updated recently with a fix.
# SyncFaction is updated to work with latest changes, please use latest version. Details below.


== Multiplayer 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.


We currently don't have a multiplayer fix for the GOG version of the game. Please be patient as we're dealing with slow responses from THQ Nordic. There is also an effort to work around that but we're far from any useful solutions.

== Troubleshooting ==
 
# If you suspect your game is corrupted, please delete the <code>.syncfaction</code> folder in <code>data</code> and verify your game
# Make sure you're on the latest SF version and update: https://github.com/Rast1234/SyncFaction/releases/download/v8-test-11/SyncFaction.exe
# New app version has faster download speeds so updating game from scratch shouldn't be a problem. Unless you have limited traffic. If you want to avoid extra traffic, ping rast in SyncFaction thread
# 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!
# This app release is not tested thoroughly so please be patient 😛
 
=== Saving Space ===
 
# Once you've updated to the 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
 
== Terraform Patch ==
 
# Changelog: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch/main/changelog.txt
# Known Issues: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch/main/known_issues.txt
# Github: https://github.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch
# This patch is an alpha version so you may encounter bugs, please ping Camo in the rfg-modding channel to report any issues
 
== Run game ==
 
All maps are included in the Terraform Patch and you don't need to install anything else. Join the FF Discord and subscribe to RFG Game Night event!
