If you downloaded the Multiplayer Demo of Red Faction when it released today, and then you proceeded to try and play the demo because, well, that's what you do with demos, you've probably noticed that it doesn't work. It just continues to search for servers. Indefinitely. 

Well, the developers are aware of it and are currently working on it. You might not be able to play the demo right now, but at least you know that you will be able to soon. We'll update this post with more information when they update that post with more information, if you get what we mean... Read more »
