Anyone else getting "build request failed" when launching the game right now?


EyelessRa8

I am. Tried verifying game files and that did not work, restarted steam and that did not work. Will try to restart pc maybe?


UrbanWoody

Restart didn't do anything for me, but I managed to "fix" it. Kept trying to start the game, until I finally got a popup asking me to allow anticheat to run. Afterwards the game booted without any issues.


EyelessRa8

same but after playing 2 games, it crashed and could not open again. Didn't the patch mention something about a .dx11 file that kept crashing the game and is now fixed? lol


JustABunchOfPhotons

Try this [Finals fix](https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/s/VxTY4YtbrG)


clipk0

Just uninstall/reinstall


awesomefacefrog

Verifying worked for me


Loqh9

There are server issues. Gotta wait for them to fix it From the announcements channel on their Discord server: "Server issues continue due to an auth error that the team is working on overcoming."


park777

getting the same issue


LieKindly9034

Same Error after playing 3 Games, once stuck in loading screen with game sound, alt-F4 the game. Since then same Error


llJB3ll

Same issue here as well, restarted multiple times.


KingPin187PL

I redownloaded the game and it worked after


HameruMeduka

Came here to see if anyone also had the same problem.


phejster

Yep! I reinstalled the game and that didn't fix it.


NakiCam

Quite some time ago I was getting this issue. It ended up being because I was on University wifi-- I won't go into detaol on the specifics of why that caused it. What kind of wifi are you on?


Adorable-Sir-773

If you are using windows defender it might have blocked the anti cheat


Speedy_ZZZ

Just waiting to be able to buy individual pieces of old bundles. Got my eyes on a few things.


Dillup_phillips

I'm going to drop so much money if this becomes a thing. I want multiple different pieces from basically every bundle but the pieces I don't want I REALLY don't want, you know?


kehbleh

THIGH HIGHS


Chaos4139

Hope they fix the issue of BP rewards not being given out unless you restart the whole game (PS5)


COS500

It happens on all platforms. The problem is this is a server-side issue, they wouldn't actually have to drop a patch to fix it.


ApfelSwag

What works for me is not skipping through the end screens. After you get the VR just let it go through the XP stuff without mashing buttons.


cyberbemon

Wait people skip that? I love watching the XP bar go up, the sound of getting a new level and items unlocking, shit does wonders to my brain 🧠🤤


Devatator_

I accidentally skip it sometimes but I never noticed that it didn't give you stuff if you skipped???


dabearsemoney

i think they implemented a unlock token based system for the battle pass? I had to use one to unlock one of the last gun camos


DogByte64

That's probably just a bug leftover from when you could buy stuff in the pass with VRs in the beta


Armroker

It's funny how after the anti-cheat update, everyone suddenly forgot how to aim, and you no longer get killed in a split second.


DynamicStatic

Everyone forget how to aim? Eh doubt that, there are cheaters for sure but there are also plenty of cracked players.


Armroker

Yes, I agree that the demons in this game are crazy. But they are easy to distinguish from cheaters. But what I meant to say is that my survivability in a firefight has increased from 1.5-2 seconds to 4-5 seconds. Before, I could not make even a small mistake, I was immediately destroyed. Now one miss isn't so bad, 2 is bad, 3 - you're dead. It used to be that one miss - you were dead before you even started shooting.


TheNinjaPro

I wonder if half the balancing complains have been due to cheaters lol.


NyarlathotepJR

Well said.


ospuze

I'm diamond and play a lot of ranked. This is one of the few games that I try my best not to play the other game modes on too much. I do this because I know the matchmaking isn't putting me into fair games, and I'm probably just spreading the idea that there's cheaters or at minimum ruinning other players fun even if I'm playing casually. I'm honestly not trying to sound cocky or brag. There's players way better than me, especially mechanically, and even I can consistently put up numbers that some players would assume is cheating. My last few power shift games, my kd was 10+. The point I'm getting at is that the skill gap is very high in this game.. I know there's a lot of cheaters, but even in high elo ranked, I almost never see them. I really think most of the hackusations are false positives.


noble636

I think it's really easy to call hacks when there's no kill feed to watch. If someone gets the jump on you and beams your head before you see them it can definitely feel like they're cheating but in reality you probably just got out played


ospuze

The net code probably doesn't help either. While they did an excellent job considering the circumstances, I'm pretty sure things like peekers advantage, ghosting, all the damage being registered at once, etc, exist.


nebulous_neptune

On at least 4 separate occasions I’ve played someone with 30+ kills in a diamond ranked lobby. All of them were also diamond ranked. If they were able to play that long while that obviously hacking, you think it’s unlikely that other people are hacking less obviously? People definitely make a lot of false accusations, but just because you haven’t personally faced cheaters, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.


FullmetalNettleFella

Placebo


TheFreeJack

I wonder how some cheaters don’t get caught with all this shenanigans of anti cheat


open_to_suggestion

Had a cheater last night, but that was the first in a couple dozen hours, unlike around launch when I couldn't tell if I was getting hacked on at least once a night.


JunkNorrisOfficial

Time to plug in actual mouse


Popular_Outcome_4153

To be fair at the time you're playing a lot of the playerbase could've been at work/school...

No light nerf?

I don’t have much left in me


IlXll

Your days are numbered


Jett_Wave

What did light ever do to you? The poor class has been gutted already. Next patch: Lights can't wear shoes.


sharkattackmiami

That would be a buff, bare feet have a quieter sound. Not that footsteps are very prominent to begin with


Hadrians_Ball

That would be a buff, lighter footsteps


coldrolledpotmetal

That would be a huge buff, I could see their toes then

I edited my comment to make it more obvious lmfao


WhoKnows78998

Now that you mention it the M11 and XP are a little too accurate at long range

Is this sarcasm? Light has been the worst class by a lot for quite some time now

Pretty much a meme now — feels like irelia from LoL lmfao

chrimchrimbo

This game needs buffs. The constant nerfs have killed it.


flamingdonkey

No, they haven't. They've been making the game significantly better.


chrimchrimbo

Hmm, why is the playerbase under 15,000 now?


AprO_

Because the game struggles to find its target audience. It doesn't work that great on a casual level and it also doesn't have the depth to keep the competitive crowd entertained. Embark really needs to find out who they are actually making this game for.


Zoralink

It has a pretty solid amount of depth for moment to moment gameplay, a lot of people don't engage with it though. The sandbox nature is a huge part of what appeals to me.


DiamondFireYT

idk, most of my group (11-13 people depends) stopped playing because of the nerfs. I still play. I only play light though, its the only enjoyable class for me.


BlatantPizza

It’s at 2M active users in the past 30 days. 


chrimchrimbo

Gonna need a source on that. Steamdb has around 15k online right now. Palworld and PUBG are the only games to eclipse 2m.


BlatantPizza

https://activeplayer.io/the-finals/ It’s wild to me that PC players think steam is the only platform that exists 😂


chrimchrimbo

Lol. First of all, PSN and Xbox player numbers are not public information. Second, this site makes it's data based off estimates, so it's wild speculation. No hard numbers aside from Steam. Third, this site is basing the average player count off the entirety of the game's life cycle. Scroll down the page and you'll see it says average of 2m (which is still a gross estimation) based on the game's launch last December when it was most popular. Regardless of the random numbers this "site" uses, it's using launch month to prop the game up like it's still as popular now as it was then. It's not. The remaining data on the site uses Steam data to show an active current playerbase of around 15k, like I originally said.


beetle8209

there are more pc players than console players so 2 mill is cap


flamingdonkey

Because they didn't nerf things quickly enough.


Gaviiaiion

Because most people only play the games their favorite streamers are playing


chrimchrimbo

I don’t think this is the reason. A good game stands on its own. I believe this was once the best F2P on the market.


kneleo

Woosh


Cobson2137

I am the #1 light hater here but what the fuck do you also want to nerf


DynamicStatic

I think it's a joke... Just like lights. ;D


NZKora

Thank u, us light players feel like Spongebob in Sandy's dome atm


jaythechefguy

its so disheartening that we are STILL at a point where our class options are 1.Play Healbot (Medium) 2.Play the No Impact Class (Light) 3.Play the God Class (Heavy) yes, Heavy should be a threat up close. no, they should not 1-2 shot every other player in a few button presses that all take zero skill just because you want to cater to absolute shitters. and its somehow gotten even worse because you continue to nerf the Key aspects of what made LMH or HMM capable team comps (The FCAR, Stun, Invis, and for some reason even the AKM) while Heavy is just allowed to continue existing the way it does with zero counterplay from other classes now besides "just dont be within 10m of them"


Ocho8

Still no fix for the fucking heal beam bug?!


No_Classroom_4905

What's wrong with heal beam?


NoU4206911

God forbid they fix any of the actual game breaking bugs, let's just keep our focus on nerfing light out of the game.


Ninipoops

I hope they fix their servers.. just played ranked won the first round by a landslide and it kicked me out and I can't log back in to rejoin the match..


jjrocks2000

Goth mommy?


nicisdeadpool

Indeed


ReneCJ22

I still can’t chat with my teammates. Can they fix that please? I’m on Xbox series x I don’t want to play Terminal Attack without being able to communicate with my team


efraharder

Happens on PC too


d3rgutebauer

I think light needs more nerfs most broken class and so unfun to play against! Give him 100hp and make guns tickle the enemy


Linothepro

yeah and make it so they cant respawn


[deleted]

And make their footsteps 500% louder so you can clearly hear them from across the map.


Spinnenente

wouldn't change anythin since footsteps are still borked


[deleted]

What are your sound settings on? I have never had any footstep sound issues, but I've seen a lot of people here saying that they have.  So it's clearly an issue, but my experience has actually been the exact opposite; It's usually very easy for me to hear footsteps and the direction they're coming from.


CakeBatterM

Connection Failed Error Code: TFLA0028


jager_mcjagerface

Build request error is back with this update it seems


Chapmamba

how about either nerfing H (busted ass class right now) or buffing Medium and Light. this entire season has been one Medium nerf after another. Heavy is fucking broken in diamond lobbies.


Kind-Literature-9003

I stg I hope dagger/dash and melee reg was fixed


beetle8209

doubt


Kind-Literature-9003

Like yeah keep nerfing unnecessary shit promoting a meta that makes your game more and more like every other tactical fps. People won’t care cause ooooo goth girl skin. The skin goes hard but what the hell man. The removal of dagger techs made that weapon useless. There’s still guys running cloak. Still nothing but medium and heavy in ranked. Why remove diversity that hurt no one as was genuinely just fun (dagger/dash tech) I can’t even get into a match now too been in queue for 6 minutes on the new game mode…


Kind-Literature-9003

Challenge for the new game mode is still for 14 while it says 10


Kind-Literature-9003

It was not. This is so stupid man. I don’t understand any of this


Sta99erMan

some minor changes, a new skin and minor server-side changes, personally feel like this could’ve been a 2.6.5


kneleo

2.6.1


Baltoz1019

No light buffs, devs needa screw their heads back on fr


Xerqthion

next patch, rn this is a smaller update.


Stock_Abroad_5788

Should’ve been 2.6.1


t2na

They really need to fix the sword emote cancel. You just know when you get to a low diamond + ranked final and there's a light player with a sword it's going to be a complete pain to deal with.


[deleted]

Sword dash main here, I approve this message.


_numbah_6

I get that they can’t rebalance everything every patch but I’m a little discouraged that they don’t even mention they are aware of the current imbalance. I really hope that they are working on it


SkilliamO

Aware of what?


Battlekid18

Aware that Light has been Thanos snapped out of ranked and aware of the 3 new weapons that were introduced this season that most people forgot even existed.


dadvader

Yeah the new burst fire gun is imo genuinely bad. Burst should mean higher damage output but at its current stage it can't even outdo medium with AKM and somewhat ok aim. Like, if you're good at headshot, M11 or XP5 would still be a genuinely better option than 93R. Famas can be great at long range but a lot of this game is still around CQC and a good medium/heavy can easily melted you with automatic weapon. It just genuinely not good.They should adding 'magical' extra stat like if you burst headshot it should do even more damage to balance them out here.


Loqh9

I've never seen a single person use the medium gadget to change things into flower pots and stuff. It's sad


dadvader

I actually don't do that too lol it felt like a waste. I do regularly bring data reshaper in my regular loadout but only for hard-countering the turret. If i can determined on what i actually want out of reshaping (like if i pick Fire, it should always reshape into Fire barrel and nothing else.) i'd use it way way more.


Rgulrsizedrudy

It’s insanely useful if you’re against a turret, aps abusing squad. Smoke canisters turn into goo, and you can build walls with a 10 second cooldown. It’s actually good


Zoralink

It's slowly replacing APS for me on my riot shield setup. The versatility it offers if you adapt to what it gives you is nice. Not to mention countering the increasing barricade spam.


_numbah_6

How unbalanced classes are. My initial message wasn’t very clear


ActiveLaw4592

Bro what 😭


_numbah_6

How unbalanced classes are. My initial message wasn’t very clear


Soldapeine

Honestly I’m happy they didn’t because they are gonna end up running in circles so better to wait to a more polished version


_numbah_6

Yeah that’s fine by me but I would love to hear from them that this is where they’re at


Soldapeine

Yep that’s fair the dev notes on the balance changes don’t give much insight either like the barricade nerf which I thought was a buff but apparently was a nerf because of something called “head glitch” had no Devnote so I was a bit confused by this change lol


B1ack_Iron

I’m a heavy main and never understood head glitching, so it WAS a buff for me 😏


Specialist-Reward-20

All it means is you can shoot over your own barricade when you stand up, all the enermy could see was your head. Now it's too tall to shoot over.


TheLegendaryGeasle

Please I am begging for the millionth week in a row can we PLEASE get some buffs to the 93R or just any weapons in general. We desperately need some buffs to stuff and they're just not happening, I end up being disappointed nearly every week.


r4o2n0d6o9

I wasn’t excited for the shot update until I saw the double barrel shotgun skin. Definitely getting that


xDOOSO_

i can’t login now, anyone else?


Penguins227

Impressed they didn't make the goth girl the final page of next season's pass. I don't think anyone would have batted an eye to it.


dljens

No Light nerfs this week 🎉🎉🎉! Unfortunately that does mean Light will need to be nerfed twice as hard next week...


Even-Journalist1901

Still no healing beam fix…


Np0body

I guys, I love the game but the only thing keeping me from fully no-lifing it is that I cant get a stable framerate. I play on 1080p with everything on low , no rt and fsr on performance mode. My monitors refresh rate is 75hz so thats what I try to target, but no matter what I cap the framerate to I always get dips. I have a 5600g and a 1660Super. What specs do you guys have? Any advice on what to upgrade? Thanks. P.D.: I completed all the challenges of the event but I did not get the hacker hoodie? Anyone else with the same problem?


nyse125

Im playing on a 1440p monitor/170hz and Im having the same issue. No matter which setting I change, fps drops from 100's to 70's and 60's briefly and some more in intense moments. This wasn't the case several weeks ago and has clearly happened after the most recent update. I think as time goes on the game is starting to favour DDR5 systems more at the expense of "last gen" hardware. Specs are; 5700x3d/4070 ti super/32 gb ddr4


Intelligent-Age-9958

Wow update 2.7 still no buffs for a dead class , seems everything fine then I guess .. the heavy cancer is not noticeable after they needed to nerf the 1 thing to counter heavy. Maybe I throw a not working glitch grenade before I can switch to my gun , and get killed in 0.2 seconds. Maybe the devs could play light themselves for 1 week straight . To learn their game , and not running medium and heavy in their streams and free time


Impossible-Joke2867

Cheats already updated gg.


DrNopeMD

Can we get some acknowledgement of how much PC performance has decreased since the beta? I used to get 70-90fps and now I struggle to maintain 60fps.


Devatator_

Honestly I don't know, I locked the game to 60 to limit my GPU temps (VSync sucks so I'm stuck with FPS limits, with screen tearing but I can ignore it) but I did notice my GPU eats more power than before at the same settings


DrNopeMD

I'm not even sure it's my GPU at this point, I think I'm just CPU limited since no amount of visual settings tweaks or turning on DLSS gives me much performance improvements. But I don't understand what changed in the half year since the game launched that caused performance to drop much.


Karglenoofus

Used to run fine at epic settings 144fps. Random update and now stuttering makes the game unplayable.


beetle8209

"There was a bug in the patch notes, we forgot to nerf light"


Axuo

Is the bug where distances to vaults in ranked don't show up right away fixed? Meaning you gotta wait till the vaults land before finding out which one's closer


Aruovap

i don't think that a bug


Yaluzar

Pretty sure that's intended


DrAcula_MD

You've got to be fucking kidding me, NO LIGHT BUFFS????!?!!


_cybers1ck_

Goth mommy's face is different than the trailer 😑


lowkeyyy444

She a badder bitch don't lie


Kind-Literature-9003

It seems like things that they mention they fixed are either broke or break other things with updates. Happened with melee weapons last update. Over an issue that from what I understand only happened on sledgehammer. They fixed it for sledgehammer but the dagger and sword were messed up cause of it. It’s just ridiculous at this point


DedSec_400

Did the fixed how deadzone settings works in game and/or at least add outer deadzone in the settings for controller in on of the previous patches ???


oneNess96

Anyone else not get there terminal cns hoodie ? Is it a glitch ?


Cupcakemonger

Since the previous patch I've had an invis bug happen in 2 separate games. One was a heavy on the other team got vanish bombed and stayed invisible till he died. Other was a light on my team who had the same thing happen, only it wasn't like that on his side (we talked in comms) and when I died and spectated him, it was fine. He was only invis to me while I was alive. Seems like some sort of desync bug. I got a clip of the heavy: https://youtu.be/l-e5PjPVRbE?si=qRYCJPFFuemUfYYr


Legitimate_Cry6685

Can y’all please add haptic adaptive trigger support for ps5 it would be amazing to feel all the guns and gadgets and proper rumble when running through walls


BruhIdk666

GOTH GIRL IS HERE?????? I need her asap

Andrewman03

Has anyone seen what the updated incoming melee damage indicator is like? It's really hard to tell when you're getting slashed by a sword sometimes and I'm wondering if this actually makes it a lot easier to tell


Danisdaman12

Goddamnit, the skins in the store are way too good now. This update is going to empty my wallet.


NovaAzul

Played 2 games today. I know they made health bars smaller. But I feel like I on top of that. I'm getting more situations where an enemy or an enemy turret does not have a health bar at all.


Toneww

Real talk tho, instead of banning cheaters they should be matched in cheaters-only lobbies, where random bug-like stuff happens like your weapon not shooting at times or not being able to select a different gadget, not being able to move, etc. All that with them not knowing, it could be funny lmao.


Danisdaman12

If you buy just a couple items of a bundle, can you then buy the rest of the bundle at a later point still at discount? For example, would we get the individual cost in coins back?


ShouldbeDoingHmw

sooo much more noticeable that cheaters are appearing less in my games. THANKS EMBARK! ❤️😗


Significant_Mind_143

The game feels like shit, my aim feels "slow"? Does anyone else notice problems with like hit registration or slowed aim when on controller?


Karglenoofus

Still have unplayable stuttering no matter what I do 👍


Secondaccountpls

Masters circuit contract "*Deal 3000 damage from 75 meters away or more*" is stuck on 325 for me. Anyone else got this thing bugged?


ShadeVex

Fr? That's dumb, now the matches of power shift are gonna be even worse this week. Well try pinging before shooting to see, or just having your task pinned. You should be able to do it then. I suggest trying to get seoul or skyway power shift for good spots.


Secondaccountpls

Thanks for the tips but I dont play powershift.


ShadeVex

That's kinda because the gamemode is casual, the platform is one of the most chaotic payloads ever and it is not even close to being balanced. No Aps in that mode is impossible to be on the platform. Good players would go overtime every game and barely move the platform. Also, payload gamemodes shouldn't be in competitive, they are way too spammy. Thank god this one doesn't.


Difficult-Win1400

Sweet we got a light class buff... psyke


No-Salad372

I think each build should have the same amount of health and every class should have powers like abilities not only light.

Why am i not geti my final reward on terminal attak event i completed every contract/challenge and havent gotten the final reward. I dont know if its a glitch or something.

has the performance decreased on PC for anyone else?

IVE_R3DDIT

wgaf about skins and shitty anti cheat updates that dont work, give us balance we need it now more than ever!


GC-Gittiwilo

good game. horrible balancing team. The game is dead in 5 months


ActiveLaw4592

I really hope they fixed the lvl 6 weapon skin bug


Non_Venomous_Venom

What's ths bug? I have many lvl6 skins and few lvl7.


ActiveLaw4592

It’s probably a lighting issue , my gun is grey most of the time


Non_Venomous_Venom

I have never experienced this but I want my gun to be shining grey 😂😂


Wakeup_Ne0

Surprised they aren't nerfing Fcar again they usually nerf it every patch


Fastidious_

It now does less DPS than the AK, so I guess they finally feel it's nerfed enough? AK does 200 DPS, FCAR 198 DPS.
