Read Full Detailed Report - Red Faction: Guerrilla

Red Faction: Guerrilla is an open-world third-person action video game developed by Volition, Inc. and published by THQ. The game is the third installment in the Red Faction series.

The player takes the role of Alec Mason as he assists the Red Faction to disrupt and overthrow the oppressive Earth Defense Force (EDF) on Mars. This is presented to the player in a third person perspective, a departure from the series' previous two games which were first person shooters. Developer Volition changed the camera perspective to help the player see and appreciate the surroundings as they are destroyed.

Support is native for 16:10 and 16:9 resolutions. Simply select and apply your desired resolution from the options menu.

For 15:9 (1280x768) and other "unusual" resolutions, you'll have to delete My DocumentsMy GamesRed Faction GuerrillaOptions. The game will then run at your desktop resolution, with default options.
If you're happy with the default advanced graphic details, you're all set, the game will always start at this res.
If you change any graphical option however, the Options folder will resurrect and your resolution will be lost. You'll have to delete My DocumentsMy GamesRed Faction GuerrillaOptions and re-adjust graphic details in-game everytime you play.

Alternatively, you can hex edit

I think the sum of the singleplayer anomalies should be graded as a blemish. Does this sound about right?

[StingingVelvet]

You can't edit the game options like AA in the ini and thus never have to delete it and also have your options, right? I would assume you thought of this.

Sure does to me. Writing this report was a drag, I'll happily leave the rest to you !

You're right actually : users can hex-edit the resolution in Optionsrfg_display_options.rfgs_pc and keep custom settings (I confess I only just gave it a try).
No time right now, but I guess a method update is in order :oops:

Situationally annoying solution and singleplayer anomalies are blemishes.

Does this make sense ?

If it does I'll add it as-is to the DR.
If not, I can add this...

rfg_display_options.rfgs_pc

:P

It makes sense to me, but I'm a programmer, but are you sure that second image is right, because 0005 and 0003 is just 5x3, i think yours pointers in the wrong place, I think its 02 & 03 and 06 & 07. That would be 500x300 in hex which is 1280x786 in decimal.

Edit: Scratch that I checked it against mine, I wonder why the pairs are saved the wrong way around. Ether way its worth pointing that out, they will also need a hex editor of some sort so a url to a freeware one would be useful.

Does this make sense ?

Not in the slightest, but I would love to get this working in 5040 proper but that looks beyond me :oops:

[The_cranky_hermit]

I'd suggest keeping the "delete options" method as our primary one. The hex edit solution can be mentioned too for users who are comfortable with that. But I'd say the majority of gamers will find the first method more convenient.

Sorry, I didn't mention it because I thought it was common... The way you input a custom res for Fuel is kinda similar.

Anyway, I suppose the short text version will be enough for anyone using a hex editor even sporadically.
Mach, don't worry - the "delete options" method works like a charm, and I'll post the full code of my own custom file (5040x1050, max options) ;)

Nice one, thanks :)

Method section (and Confirmed solution) updated, hope it's not too confusing (suggestions welcome). You can now download files for max details/4x AA in 1280x768, 3840x800, 3840x1024 and 5040x1050.
I can't test the 5040x1050 file myself, so confirmation that it works as intended would be nice.

[Skid]

I'll do that when I get home assuming someone doesn't beat me to it :)

It didn't work, it displayed itself as 3840x800, but atm 5040x1050 isn't being picked up by NVidia automatically I have to enter it as a Custom resolution, despite it being added to my TH2Go resolution list. So that might be why its not working on mine atm.

Hey is Gino's, the Italian restaurant at the top of the hill near the castle car park, still there? Best Italian in the UK, mmmmm Pollo Colloseo :)

Sorry I don't know, I don't get out much ^^ I may now live in Lincoln but I've never really known where everything is :P Besides, I kinda funny about the foods I like. Try google mapping it :P
