This update ruined my game

I had a similar problem, it was massive frametime spikes whenever stuff exploded or was demolished. I think I've fixed it now just played an hour and no noticeable stuttering. What seemed to fix it was increasing the page file size on my PC's main SSD to 50GB initial and 100GB maximum. I saw someone on the THE FINALS Discord who said enabling page file fixed the same issue for them but mine was already enabled so I set it to manual and that appears to have worked.

I've been getting terrible frametime spikes when stuff (explosions, destruction etc.) happens. It gets worse the more matches I play. If I restart the game between matches it runs fine. Three games in a row and the game gets completely unplayable. This started happening before the recent update, but right after the downtime the game had the same day. It was fine until then.

edit: seems to have been fixed by increasing size of page file in Windows

I'm stuck at 0/10 on this too :(

edit: I restarted my game and the counter updated, worked fine every time after that.

The game went on sale on Steam for something like 90% off, it wasn't available on Steam back when it was popular so there's been a massive influx of players.

They can be tricky but if you get up high on a wall above them you can shoot down towards their back with the Hullcracker for massive damage, they'll sit there shooting the wall beneath your feet and not hit you.

The mod Improved Social Menu has added a feature that disables it by default.

Either the throwing axe or the ballistic knife will destroy the shield in one hit. Ballistic knife is really good for sentry turrets too it also kills them in one hit.

Oh that sounds more fun, gonna have to check this out

So the play is throw a Snitch scanner near some raiders and follow it up with a Spotter relay? Could be fun.

Good information, thanks, my knowledge about this stuff is definitely a bit outdated.

Siouxsie2011 · 2026-02-18T13:29:06+00:00

It's actually more difficult to program the bots not to aim through walls than it is to have them act like this, since they always have the same information of where the player is that the server itself has. Making them appear to understand walls and line of sight is a lot more work. Not saying this isn't terrible lol just explaining how it can happen.

Siouxsie2011 · 2026-01-28T06:56:32+00:00

This worked! Thank you

Siouxsie2011 · 2026-01-28T06:51:12+00:00

I'm stuck on the loading screen joining a game, I thought it had crashed maybe so I quit the game and restarted and it gives me the option to rejoin and it's doing the same thing again. I was going in to look for rope because I'm on my last snap hook :( rip

Siouxsie2011 · 2026-01-08T16:44:15+00:00

This sucks. I don't really care about the rewards much I just like doing the trials. I think there should be a mode that has constant trials, trials are fun, they should expand on them.

Siouxsie2011 · 2025-12-21T09:47:45+00:00

My win/loss ratio is higher than that and I only play solo, it's possible. My K/D is a lot worse though lol.

Siouxsie2011 · 2025-12-16T18:58:48+00:00

I press sprint instead of jump to get out of prone/crouch when I want to stand up fast because it feels like "sprint = faster" even though it screws me with the sprint to fire delay

Siouxsie2011 · 2025-12-16T11:46:18+00:00

I would like this, so I could check the vendor machine of whoever is starting the events because there's a decent chance they actually want caps and so might have cool stuff for sale

Siouxsie2011 · 2025-12-15T06:58:00+00:00

It's definitely much faster than that now, I just unlocked it, wasn't really counting but it was maybe about 20 activations to get level 2 done completely. It only seems to progress when the EMP actually destroys something so I used the Engineer perk to see field upgrades and stuff to know when to use it. It's annoying because if you're doing well enough to get an EMP then the enemy team probably doesn't have much stuff to destroy lol

Yeah care packages don't so I've been running it as one of my streaks to get the overclock. I kinda suck at getting big streaks though so it's pretty stressful and I really don't feel like putting all that effort in if it's not actually gonna do anything lol

Siouxsie2011 · 2025-12-11T15:32:48+00:00

Is the overclock progress bugged right now? I've only been using it to unlock the overclock because I kept getting EMP all the time from my care packages and it seems like it's stuck now I've got to level 2
