THE FINALS Hotfix 1.2.3 Patch Notes - Login, Matchmaking Fixes & more

THE FINALS is an exciting player vs. player (PvP) game that has quickly gained popularity on Steam. In this game, players compete against each other in various fast-paced matches, showcasing both skill and strategy. However, like many new games, it encountered a few issues that affected the gameplay experience. The Patch 1.2.3 hotfix addresses those issues.

Major Changes in Hotfix 1.2.3

The Hotfix 1.2.3 for THE FINALS game primarily addresses two significant issues: the login problems for Steam users and improvements in the matchmaking system. The update successfully resolves the login issue, where players on Steam were experiencing error codes and incorrect ban messages, allowing for smoother and more reliable access to the game. Additionally, it fine-tunes the skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) system. This adjustment aims to create more balanced and fair matches by better aligning players with similar skill levels, which may slightly extend the time it takes to find a match but ensures a more enjoyable and competitive gaming experience.

Full Patch Notes for Hotfix 1.2.3

We solved an authentication issue that was incorrectly reported as a ban and removed bans from accounts swept up in the error (try a restart now), an update to Skill-based Matchmaking (SBMM), and an adjustment to alleviate the backfilling annoyances flagged by the community.

• Fixed a Steam login problem that caused players to receive a faulty ban message
• We've made some changes to our skill-based matchmaking to ensure better-quality games. This means matchmaking times are likely to be ever so slightly longer, but you should find yourselves in slightly closer matches
• We've updated the way backfills work in Quick Cash and Bank It. This should mean that you get backfilled less often and when you do get backfilled, you should have more time remaining in the match, especially in Bank It mode
• We’ve fixed the incorrect timer on the in-game shop

This covers everything you need to know about the Hotfix 1.2.3 update for THE FINALS.
