== 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.
* 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 selecting a map such as Abandoned, Nordic Bonus, Ruins etc.
* When people join your game they shouldn't see any errors.
* When you load a map you shouldn't have any strange anomalies or crashes.
 
== 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!
