Need Help With Red Faction Patch Asap

Could you elaborate on the problem you're having? What files are included with the patch?
Edit: Oh, and Red Faction is an awesome game.
You would have already done the patch would you? Do you run it in OS X? You could just download the patch to see, as its confusing. It's only 1.8mb.

Whoops - I got to get out more often. Sorry about the late response. 
The true link to the update is here.
Sambo110, don't panic. To use the update do the following:
1. Open the update folder which contains the new files.
2. Drag and drop the two Red Faction applications into the Main RF Game Folder.
3. Drag and drop the tables.vpp into the data folder which is in the Main RF Game Folder.
There is a readme included with the update, which intrinsically says the same thing.

Sorry, I know this is an older thread, but..
I updated Red Faction using the OSX update, and I get this very strange error after launching the game.
"Error: Unable to read project sound information. Is bluebeard.bty missing? File: sound.cpp - Line: 589
A critical error has occurred and the program cannot continue. Press OK to exit the program."
Well, there are no .bty files around, nor can I find a sound.cpp file, or else I would look through it for errors myself. Anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?

Oh noes! Another tardy response from yours truly ...
There is hope.
bluebeard.bty is a text file of sorts that sets auxillary sound parameters. The error code on line 589 in the sound.cpp refers to one of the modules that comprises the actual Red Faction application.
I have heard upon occasion that the bluebeard.bty becomes corrupt but normally it doesn't disseappear.
Either way, here is a replacement which should do the trick:
Obsolete link removed
Drop it into the main Red Faction folder and yer all set.

If I remember correctly, Red Faction ran fine under Classic on an iMac G5 20" 1.8ghz. What Mac are you trying to run it on?
This sounds rather strange. The icon for Red Faction is blank? Or when it is started it creates a blank page? No matter what the icon looks like it should still work regardless.
Your game folder should look something like this (click to enlargen):
![]()
Sambo110, if you use MSN IM - PM me your identity and I can help you directly if you would like.

My method was to use SheepShaver to run the installer, then just copy the game folder back to the OS X side via the built-in share. SheepShaver is a Mac PPC emulator that can run system versions up to and including Mac OS 9.0.4.
