Due 2 some weired reasons I had 2 uninstall RF... (after trying some mods it crash3d like 4ever...)

Now I installed it again, everythings fine, BUT

I can not upgrade to V1.2 anymore!

The patch does not want to be installed.
It says, that it could not find the original RF data - but it is there!!

Any suggestions?

Are you using the auto updater or have you also tryed the patch on l4y?
If nothing wants to work then I'd recommend to ask somebody to send you the updated files.

there could be a file that is corrupt try by downloading a fresh copy of ui.vpp from Redfactionview.

Could be the tables.vpp or RED.exe or RF.exe that is broken as well.

If that wont work i dont know what the problem could be.

Did you completely uninstall it? Like delete the C://games/RedFaction folder itself? (saving maps & such to another location beforehand ) Then re-install? I'm not sure if that'll help, just puttin' it out there.


I had this problem yesterday when I had to reinstall. The files were not deleted when I uninstalled and I had to physically delete the files (except the usermaps). Worked fine after that.

Basically do this again:
1. Un-install Red Faction
2. Reboot the PC
3. Delete the main Redfaction folder
4. Re-install Red Faction
5. Update the game
6. Play game or keep mapping, which ever you prefer to do first.

Edit:
If you decide to reinstall the game, delete the 2 keys in the registry that relate to Red Faction.
They are:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Volition

&

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Volition

If you "delete" the main Red Faction folder manually then "delete" these 2 keys also.

Puhh I was trying the registry-thing.
Deleted the keys, but still it says:

"There was an error processing the patch:
Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match"

Horrible! I keep trying, maybe you still have some other ideas...?

EDIT:
ahhh! I just installed the Reinstallation on another partition of my cpu - now it works again...
but it means that something really strange remains on the first partition...

You know you can basically copy and paste the files (game folder) in the default directory right?
It still works that way.
This way you can keep it in the default directory.
