What is Alpine Faction?

Alpine Faction is a free and open source patch/modification for the 2001 FPS game Red Faction. It's not a source port, but its goals and features are similar to what you might expect from one.

For more information, please visit the Alpine Faction website.

How do I get Alpine Faction?

  1. Download and run the installer program from FactionFiles.com.
  2. Click the Next button until Specify the location of RF.exe appears.
  3. Enter the path to your RF.exe file. The path will most likely be correct without you needing to change it. If it's blank or incorrect, click "Browse", and locate your RF.exe file inside your Red Faction folder. For Steam copies, this is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Red Faction\RF.exe and for retail copies, it's usually C:\games\RedFaction\RF.exe
  4. If a prompt appears stating "Detected Red Faction version is not directly supported by Alpine Faction", click OK. The necessary patches will automatically be installed for you.
  5. Click Next for the remaining prompts (the default options are suitable for virtually all users).
  6. Launch the game from now on by opening AlpineFactionLauncher.exe and clicking Launch Game.
