The Finals Patch Notes 1.7.0

Content And Bug Fixes

• Game Show Events
  • Disabled the ‘Dead Go Boom’ game show event
    • Dev Note: We feel this event punishes melee users too much at present, so we’re disabling it for now. We’re hoping to return it to the game, after a re-work, at some point in the future
• UI
  • Added a ‘play again’ button to the end-of-round sequence, allowing players in a party to quickly get into the next match
• VoIP
  • Set VoIP to be enabled by default on PC, with Push To Talk set as the default input (existing players)
  • Set VoIP to be enabled by default on console, with Voice Activated set as the default input (existing players)
    • Dev Note: we want to encourage more teamplay in matches, and enabling VoIP for all players is part of that effort. Players can disable VoIP via settings. We previously made this change in update 1.5 for new players and saw positive results!
