Reviewed as: Dash Faction 1.8.0 This is probably the most downloaded file. I'm not surprised. Dash Faction allows you to play on newer computers and fixes a lot of bugs and has some cool features. There's also the ease of choosing mods. My favorite feature in version 1.8.0 is autosave.

Dash Faction takes an older beloved game and makes changing settings, launching the game, and launching mods much easier. Every time I launch an older game I wish it had a fan base like the Red Faction/Faction File community to create a launcher and settings hub as easy and comprehensive as Dash Faction is for Red Faction.

The autosave feature in particular is a godsend for newcomers, who have a chance of screwing up and softlocking themselves at the various timer sections in the game by saving at the wrong time and not making a backup. Keep up the great work Rafalh.

The Autosave feature in this was something crucial and needed now in today's games when new generations of players are used to it. Rather than regretting not saving and end up starting again from zero. Congrats Ralfy!

Great work! 1.8.0 has an enormous amount of bug fixes and added features, but the autosave function is definitely the most impressive part of this release. It's super useful and is going to save players a ton of grief. Thank you so much rafalh for your on-going work and dedication to RF - your work is appreciated immensely.

NOTE from admin: If you want to see the THQ/Volition logos when the game launches, you can turn off "Fast Start" in the Dash Faction options (accessible by clicking the "Options" button in the Dash launcher)
