THE FINALS Update 2.7.0 Enhances Anti-Cheat Measures and Fixes Launch Options
THE FINALS Update 2.7.0 introduces stricter detection rules for cheaters, restores functionality for launch options like -dx11, and adds the Darque Mood outfit.
THE FINALS Update 2.7.0 arrives with a focus on game security, targeting cheaters with faster detection and removal methods. The patch also brings back missing launch options, polishes user interface elements, and introduces a new cosmetic outfit.
Security Updates
Multiple new rules and adjustments to how and when cheaters are detected go live with this update. These changes allow the system to identify and remove cheaters faster. The development team asks players to continue reporting suspicious behavior with clear comments, and notes that video reports are still accepted on Discord.
Performance and Bug Fixes
Performance improvements restore launch options like -dx11 that previously stopped working, though the developers still recommend playing without additional options. The patch also addresses a rare server crash. UI polish includes a cleaner look for incoming melee damage indicators, a fix for single-item bundle purchases equipping the wrong item, and a fix for nametags intersecting the HUD during the Terminal Attack squad-up screen.
