Hopefully that title got your attention. My interest in RF has dropped to rock bottom but I figure I'll make this thread so there aren't 9000 threads asking the same question


General problems - RF is an old game, and commonly one has to enable Windows 98 compatiblity mode to fix problems including, but not limited to the inability to spawn, inability to shoot, inability to move, or single player not working properly. To enable, go to your RF folder, right-click PF.exe, go to the Compatibility tab, and enable compatiblity mode for Windows 98.

People can't see my server - This is due to the port not being forwarded properly through your router. There are too many routers for me to give general instructions, but you'll want to forward port 7756 on the UDP protocol. A good resource is PortForward.com, but don't buy their program.

"CreateDevice failed" or other DirectX errors - Go into the PFLauncher and make sure your resolution is set to one your display supports. Remember to click Save! If you still have trouble, try selecting a different window mode.

In single player, the submarine explodes - You can fix it by following these instructions

I lag in multiplayer! - This is very general and there are lots of different reasons why you lag. One possible reason is that the server is crap. Read my server guide!

My mouse control feels weird - You can try enabling DirectInput. Open the console (press ` or ~), and type ti until you see "Direct input enabled"

Incompatible Data/Data doesn't match - If the server is on a default map and you get this error, please re-install vanilla PF from PureFaction.org and then apply the 3.0c patch. If you get this error on a custom map, then the server is simply running a different version of the map than you.

0MGZz when iz da next PF release?!?!? - I don't know. Please stop asking. There will be announcement when it is done.







If you still have a problem and you have read the above, you may create a new thread.

when i try to open with purefaction, it says "Direct3Dcreate8 failed. Make sure you installed directx completely"

1-)I guess Directx has no problems because i have been playing GTA4 and Mafia 2 with directx 9.0c, ageia physics driver and C++ Visual package
2-)i nearly tried every possibility as your site writed(ex: res - 1360x768, windowed,streched,32 - 16 bit color). But still no chance. Same problem. One more thing, my computer has 1366x768 resolution. Purefaction doesnt have that.
3-)When i write 'Direct3dCreate8' to google search, google finds nothing more than directx

And sorry with my bad english, i still have to learn much

You can type whatever you want in the resolution box and PF should run it.

With regards to the DX problem -- does normal RF.exe work?

Hello.

How i can turn on some menus from screens or options like spectate in PF?
My game just open normaly and only feature is level downloading.

Oh, here i have another question. If i want to have my map downloadable in PF where i must to upload it?

THX.

Just here to factionfiles. :]

Press F1

As Nick said, all you have to do is upload your level to FactionFiles ("Upload File" link in top right-hand corner of website) and it'll be put on the PF autodownloader AND FactionFiles.

PS. If you upload it in .zip format (NOT .rar), it'll automatically be available on the autodownloader as soon as you click "Submit". If it's any other format, we have to manually approve it. (usually takes a few days)
