Red Faction II

Volition, Inc. | THQ | Released 2002

Twenty-second century Earth. Five years after the rebellion on Mars.

For the last 15 years, Sopot, the corrupt dictator, has oppressed the people of the Commonwealth. His relentless pursuit of unification with the neighboring United Republic has left the country soaked in unnecessary bloodshed and poverty. Propaganda is plastered throughout communities and a Public Information Building, built as a tribute to the self-centered chancellor, spews news broadcasts with claims of victory as more and more soldiers fall victim. Fed up after years on the front lines, a group of super-soldiers injected with nanotechnology vow to replace the dictator and restore peace.

Defend your country as Alias, a demolitions expert, with the help of your five squad members, each specializing in their own method of destruction. Fight through diverse levels using vehicles, an arsenal of specialized weapons and massive explosives in your rampage to overthrow the government.

Issues:

Severe stability issues (can be reduced/mitigated by setting VFX to `"none"` in rf2_config.ini, disabling particle trails, and other particle sprite related settings)
Player model can distort and hold weapon incorrectly in some in-engine cutscenes
Most FMVs are widescreen and display in 640x480 with distorted letterboxing areas; this will need to be fixed with a game mod
Main menu uses original rasterization
Weapon viewmodels:
- If NOT tagged as player model textures: will lose their offset and float in front of the player, making the edges of the model visible
- If tagged: weapon models are transparent and appear underneath the skybox layer, and some polygon z-fighting can be observed; NICW Assault Rifle's ammo counter no longer displays on model

A River Runs to It: The Right Way In: Gameplay area will rasterize if looking at the sub bay
A River Runs to It: Submarine viewmodel is rasterized
Heavy Armor suit has clipping issues and health numbers do not render correctly
None
"Killbox" Bot Match map has some invisible floors as a result of a floor inside the map using the same texture as the sky
Some maps include gaps and artifacts in terrain
Glass renders incorrectly and flickers frequently
Decals cause walls to appear as transparent
Billboard sprites with black backgrounds flicker with a black outer square background, and will need to be replaced with assets that have proper alpha channels
Skyboxes do not always turn with camera and some stages (e.g. Sopot's Citadel or Tank on the Town) have visible areas that are too shrouded by fog to see clearly

Notes:

EXE was marked as Large Address Aware to increase stability
Windowed mode required in order to progress (see dxwrapper config)
Arbitrary resolutions are NOT supported (arbitrary resolutions automatically change to 640x480)
