## 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 | ||
* Download [SyncFaction](https://github.com/rfg-modding/SyncFaction/releases) and place it in the game folder | ||
* Run and let it update your game. You will need at least **40GiB** of free storage space and some time to download patches | ||
* Meanwhile, join [FactionFiles Discord](https://discord.gg/factionfiles), see server events for upcoming RFG Game Night and select RFG Multiplayer role in `#role-selection` channel to receive pings | ||
* 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](usage.md) | ||

## Detailed guide | ||

### Community Patch | ||
|
||
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](https://github.com/rfg-modding/SyncFaction/releases). 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](https://github.com/CamoRF/Red-Faction-Guerrilla-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](https://github.com/rfg-modding/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 | ||
|
||
|
||
### FactionFiles Discord | ||
|
||
Join [Red Faction Community Discord (FactionFiles)](https://discord.gg/factionfiles) | ||
|
||
* In `#role-selection` channel select role `RF:G Players (PC)`. This way you'll be notified when somebody gathers people for multiplayer! | ||
* See server events (above channel list). Subscribe to `RF: Guerrilla Game Night` - you'll get a notification when it starts | ||
|

|
||
Feel free to ask for advice in `#rfg-matchmaking` and `#redfactionguerrilla` channels. Also you can hang out with us in one of the voice channels during game night! | ||
|
||
We used to have 2 weekly events: one in American timezone, another for Europe. If current time isn't good for you, let's schedule a new event! | ||
