Is multiplayer alive?
Yes, it is!
We have regular parties once a week. Things to know if you want to join:
Short HOWTO
- You need RFG Re-mars-tered. GOG or Steam, clean install without mods
- Use SyncFaction to update your game with community patches. It takes some time, also you will need 40GiB of free space
- Meanwhile, join FactionFiles Discord. Check out server events for upcoming RFG Game Night, also visit
#role-selection channel
That's it, you're all set! 💥
More detailed guide
Same steps but with more info and explanations

You’ll need to install community-made patches to play. Download size is several gigabytes so please take some time to prepare.
You will need at least 40GiB of free storage space
Use SyncFaction app. It is made to keep players updated and simplify process as much as possible. Download and place .exe in game folder. Run it and let it do the thing.
Why do we need patches and a launcher app?
- Terraform Patch adds new maps, weapons, rebalance, fixes game crashes and bugs (you can find kilometer-long changelog in description). It also serves as a base for future modding by restructuring some resources
- Reconstructor is a script loader and a game engine patcher. It fixes some crashes, bugs like hardcoded memory limits, and enables scripting in mods
- RFG is not modding-friendly game. Players will crash if their game files are not the same, that’s why we need something to keep everyone updated
- There is no simple way to auto-download new maps as in other games. Currently they are part of the patch and we release updates to add more
- Multiplayer is currently broken in GOG version of the game, we fixed that
- Want to use mods AND play multiplayer? Roll back to unpatched version of the game? SyncFaction lets you switch between versions in 1 click, see Usage
