Fistful of Frags (FoF) just hit its 12th anniversary on Steam. But, did you know FoF goes back way further than that?

A group of Fistful of Frags enthusiasts have gotten together to have fun little revival for the older pre-Steam "mod" version - just for the fun of it!

This version predates the Steam-native release, dating all the way back to (circa) 2007 (in its earliest incarnations). It was last updated (circa) 2013 - as version 3.9a.

The client for this version was only ever released for Windows. However, with Steam's new "Proton" compatability layer, it is now possible to play it under Linux - likely including SteamOS!

NOTE: While this version is no longer "supported", it is still playable for those interested in its older play-style and alternative modes.

Several global meet-ups are planned for the weekend of Saturday-5/23 to Sunday-5/24, to showcase FoF 3.9a's various game-modes.

To support this event, several server-operators, are hosting Fistulf of Frags 3.9a servers - for at least the next several weeks.

Servers in multiple regions participating in these events will be running specific modes during these scheduled events - to allow players to better experience them (hopefully) with other live players during the meet-ups.

Steam Community Group Event reminders have been setup for each planned event. If you go to each event's link, it should display the date/time in your local time-zone. For your convenience, local times based on Las Vegas, Nevada (US/Pacific time-zone) are also noted below:

All this information is being advertised now, to allow interested players time to install the FoF 3.9a client, and troubleshoot if needed - well in advance of the scheduled meet-ups. The installation process is a bit more complicated than installing the current Steam-native Fistful of Frags client.

For players that want to check-out this older version of Fistful of Frags, you will need to install some extra stuff in Steam and then install the older "mod" version. To assist with this, a couple of Steam Guides have been created - one for Windows and one for Linux / Proton. These are available here:

It's simple and we can't succeed without your support!
Why should i vote?!
We're quite curious how well this will work and we hope you're just as curious!

Hey there, hope this patch fixes most issues you may have with the mod. It also brings a more stable server release, specially for Linux based servers. I would add that due some improvements I added from SDK 2013 the hit registry is a bit better but that's kind of subjective. If you detect any issue let me know please.
