Hello everyone! I'm Goober, one of the founders and administrators of Faction Files - the largest, and since 2009, effectively the only Red Faction community. I was speaking with Karajorma, and they recommended I post here as some HLP members may be Red Faction fans
Our Discord
redfaction.chat allows the community to collaborate and chat about anything related to the Red Faction series, and our website
http://factionfiles.com hosts custom maps, mods, tools, and patches. Additionally, we've recently launched
http://redfaction.help - a (still in progress) one-stop source for common issues and quick reference for the entire Red Faction series.
Furthermore, Dash Faction 1.3.0 was recently released - Dash Faction is a third-party Red Faction patch made by one of our awesome community members (rafalh), and it adds modern features, enhances performance, and fixes compatibility issues, bugs, and security vulnerabilities. You can download it here:
Dash FactionSome of the main features of Dash Faction are listed below, full list is available in the changelog and readme files:
- Proper fixes for many bugs (like the exploding submarine bug - you won't need to lower your FPS!)
- Increased FPS limit (up to 240 FPS)
- Multiplayer level autodownloader
- Support for high resolution textures, anti-aliasing, ansiotropic filtering, etc.
- High resolution thermal scanner (Rail Driver)
- Proper support for widescreen resolutions, windowed mode, and "noborder" windowed mode
- Improved multiplayer scoreboard (with kills/deaths column)
- Multiplayer cheat prevention
- Support for German and French Red Faction versions
- Huge amount of performance enhancements, and fixes for bugs/security vulnerabilities
In any event, I just wanted to reach out as a member of one community for an old Volition game to another
Cheers!
Goober
