This article is regarding Red Faction

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$$.

A version 1.3 server fading colour in the serverlist.

Purpose

Version 1.3 was created to stop cheating. It removed the green team glitch, used extra VPP checks to stop table cheats from working, and used modified class names to prevent MYTH attaching to the process.

Functionality

The original 1.3 only allowed users to join servers running 1.3. 1.3 servers appeared with fading colours in the serverlist. The LazyBan edition of 1.3 allowed users to join 1.0, 1.2, and 1.3 servers.

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 and trainers most cheaters used, version 1.3 was still unable to stop other cheats.

Influence

For some reason, a percentage of the community thought that there was a hidden backdoor in 1.3. There was no such backdoor.
