Performance

Dev Note: Various system memory optimizations are listed below. We have seen that high memory pressure can cause in-game stutters due to page faults. The goal of these optimizations is to reduce memory pressure and thus lower the risk of stutters during gameplay.

Optimized shader cache based on graphics quality. Reduces precompiled shaders by ~25% and PSO memory usage by ~20%
Dev note: Note that changing Effects quality during gameplay may trigger shader compilation and cause brief stuttering.
Various optimizations to textures, graphics and collision meshes in order to lower memory usage
Fixed an issue that could cause overly blurry textures and lowpoly meshes when running close to video memory limits
Rebalanced raytraced global illumination graphics quality settings to improve performance
Improved performance on the Weapon/Gadget customization screen
Improved performance by optimizing audio systems
Improved threading efficiency on CPUs with low core count

Private Match

Host can now set squad colors separately for spectators and players
Removed the round counter from the Choose Contestant Pack screen when a mode has only one round (e.g. Blast Off)
Spectators can now see which player is currently stealing a Cashout in the team HUD
Fixed an issue where navigating the Private Match lobby could move focus out of visible options and cause lost menu control when confirming with a controller

Social

Improved reliability and performance of rich presence to more consistently show player status to friends
Friends set to invisible/hidden on their platform no longer trigger “went online” entries in the event log
Fixed an issue where the Social menu didn’t update immediately. Requests, Recent, and Blocked tabs now refresh without needing to leave and re-enter the Social menu
We’re testing a new voice moderation tool, so all voice chat settings are turned off by default in this Update. Go into your settings to re-enable your voice chat by enabling voice moderation
Improved Discord friend presence updates: when a friend returns from Invisible/Offline, their status now refreshes correctly instead of appearing as Online Elsewhere or In Main Menu
Fixed a VoIP issue where leaving a match while in a party would mute both members, requiring them to re-enable voice chat
Fixed a bug where the Xbox icon was shown on the Xbox platform for Discord-only friends
The ‘join game’ functionality is no longer shown on your Steam profile. Now random friends will not be able to enter your party uninvited

Improved spectator death camera: when spectating in first-person and the player you’re watching is eliminated, the camera now briefly tracks the killer before transitioning to their perspective for a smoother handoff

Added an option to hide all HUD elements in Spectator mode, including world icons and scoreboards
Spectator HUD: team background color now covers the full bottom bar

Security

Updates from the Anti-Cheat team!

Denuvo rollout is now complete and is working almost beyond expectations. Anybrain rollout is also complete and has proved to be a valuable tool for us in detecting Xim and Cronus Zen like devices.

We are constantly improving our detections and investigating new capabilities to ensure we keep THE FINALS fair and secure for our players. It’s full steam ahead and we’re getting pretty warmed up!

Finally, we’d like to take the opportunity to advise against using third-party tools like Cheat Engine. Depending on how it is used, it could lead to warnings or a direct ban.
