THE FINALS Update 8.1.0 Targets Crashes and Chat Bugs

Update 8.1.0 tackles frequent client crashes, restores post-elimination team chat, and brings new store items to THE FINALS.

Embark Studios deploys Update 8.1.0 for THE FINALS, hitting stability fixes, communication repairs, and fresh store arrivals one week after the start of Season 8.

Stability and Chat

One of the most common client crashes is gone. A separate bug that blocked team chat after elimination regardless of Instant Replay settings is also resolved.

Cosmetic Tweaks

Facewear items like gas masks now match newer headwear compatibility standards. Wings receive adjustments to cut down on clipping with upper body gear.

Additions

Season 7 trophies land in the Practice Range. The store updates with the Hexscribe Set, the Chubble Trouble Goo Grenade collectible, new weapon wraps, and flag bundles for Mexico and France.

Why this patch matters

Update 8.1.0 clears out persistent crashes and communication snags while tidying up cosmetic clipping.
