In order to run Red Faction Single & Multiplayer you need a third party patch called Pure Faction.  Everything needed to properly run Red Faction (including Pure Faction) is in this torrent.  This guide will take you step by step.   Each step must be completed in proper order.  ALL of this is in the torrent.  

Step 1:  Click on setup_red_faction_2.0.0.7.exe and install Red Faction.  The next step will be to install the latest most up to date patch.

Step 2:  Click on Pure_Faction_3.0_Setup.exe and install it.
-Be sure to checkmark all of the components (Pure Faction Core, Pure Faction Map Pack, & Pure Faction Level Editor).

-IMPORTANT, during the installation process select C:GOG GamesRed Faction as the directory.  Step 3, will involve another small Pure Faction update.

Step 3:  Click on Pure Faction 3.0c.exe and install it.  Again, make sure it is in the proper directory.  C:GOG GamesRed Faction 

Step 4:  For now on you will load the game through PFLauncher.exe

Step 5:  After loading the game, press the F1 button.  Next, click on options.  Checkmark all of the following:  Mouse Direct Input, Fix Widescreen FOV, High Quality Models, Use New Scoreboard, and Show Enemy Bullets.  

In addition, set your mouse sensitivity to 0.100 or lower if you want decent aim.  If you intend to play competitively, 0.08 and lower is highly recommended.  Keep your frame limit set to 120 because Red Faction can be buggy at anything higher.  

Step 6:  Press the escape button, go to options, and then start setting up your controls (if needed).  Ignore the mouse sensitivity slide in this step because it is more precise to adjust it in the F1 Menu.  

Step 7:  At this point you are probably wondering if Red Faction supports higher resolutions and indeed it does.  Exit the game.  Load PFLauncher.exe and click on Game Settings.  This is where you can modify your resolution.  If your resolution is not listed in the drop down menu, just type it in.  In addition, you may have to click on the "Multiplayer" tab in PFLauncher and mess around with "Normal Window" & "Stretched Mode" to properly configure your resolution.

Description:
Unique set of features such as location-based damage system, real-time skeletal deformation, advanced physics simulation, and destructible environment.
An ability to use land, sea, and air vehicles during your missions.
Compelling storyline (written by the creators of the famous FreeSpace series) that will keep you hooked for many hours.

Overview:
In Red Faction, you play Parker, a weary miner who works for the corrupt Ultor Corporation. You reside on Mars, sometime in the future, and when a plague spreads through the mining community, some of the Ultor employees uncover a massive conspiracy. Thus ensues a battle by a group of lowly workers, headed up by the educated Parker, to expose the deadly experiments Ultor has unleashed onto its work force.

Red Faction was a very big leap forward in the FPS genre. It introduced many new technical features such as location-based damage system, real-time skeletal deformation, advanced physics simulation, destructible environment and more. The unprecedented (at the time) interaction with the environment creates a very strong feeling of immersion that is very impressive even by today's standards.  INCLUDES:  MULTIPLAYER.
