{{FAQ|question|Frequent lag while playing multiplayer|Due to the game's multiplayer using a peer-to-peer networking model, and the lack of traditional dedicated servers, the "server" is hosted by one of the players in a game. Because of this, gameplay will likely be laggy at times, depending on the performance and network connection of the player chosen as the host.
* If you're using the [https://github.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-Terraform-Patch Terraform Patch], the player who starts the custom game lobby will always remain the host. This mitigates the majority of the lag if the lobby host has good connection and performance as host migration as been completely removed in the patch. }}

{{FAQ|question|Terrain vanishes in Badlands or harpoons get stuck when fired from turrets|In Red Faction: Guerrilla (both the Steam Edition and the Re-Mars-tered version), when the framerate exceeds 120FPS for too long, a rendering glitch that causes most of the terrain to vanish can occur in the Badlands. Harpoons fired from Marauder turrets will also frequently get stuck in the turret at framerates exceeding 120FPS.
Capping the framerate at 120FPS is the only known solution if you encounter this issue, and may also prevent other subtle bugs/glitches from occurring. You can cap your framerate many different ways, including:
* Using Rivatuner Statistics Server to enforce a 120FPS limit
* Setting the game's refresh rate to 120Hz, then enabling VSync (if you have a monitor that supports 120Hz or higher)
* Using Radeon Chill and setting both "Min FPS" and "Max FPS" to 120 (if you have an AMD GPU)
* Using Framerate Target Control to enforce a 120FPS limit (if you have an AMD GPU; may introduce input lag)
* Using Nvidia Control Panel to set "Max Frame Rate" to 120 (if you have an Nvidia GPU) }}
