How to FIX LINUX CRASH for The Finals

1. Open Steam:
   Launch the Steam application on your computer.
   
   
2. Go to your Steam Library:
   Click on "Library" at the top of the Steam window to see your list of games.
   
   
3. Find "The Finals":
   Locate "The Finals" in your game list.
   
   
4. Access Proton Experimental settings:
   
   • Right-click on "The Finals"
     
   • Select "Properties" from the dropdown menu
   
   
5. Enable Proton Experimental:
   
   • In the Properties window, look for "Compatibility" on the left side
     
   • Check the box that says "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
     
   • From the dropdown menu, select "Proton Experimental"
   
   
6. Set Proton Experimental to the bleeding edge version:
   
   • Close the Properties window
     
   • In your Steam Library, find "Proton Experimental" (it should be listed as a tool)
     
   • Right-click on it and select "Properties"
     
   • Go to the "Betas" tab
     
   • From the dropdown menu, select "bleeding-edge - latest and untested dxvk, vkd3d-proton and wine changes"
   
   
7. Launch the game:
   Now try launching "The Finals" from your Steam Library

Important notes:

• The "bleeding-edge" version is untested and may have bugs. It's a good idea to back up your game data before using it.
  
• If you encounter issues, you can always revert to the stable version of Proton Experimental or try a different Proton version.

After following these steps, The Finals should run on your system using the latest experimental version of Proton.

Thank you. It's working. SteamDeck LCD 64GB version.

I just want The Finals developers to do a basic test on steamdeck before pushing a new version. Having to do workarounds all the time for this game is getting tiresome. Games like Overwatch and Apex Legends just work.

Can confirm it works on my Steam Deck as well! Take my Steam Points!

Tried it, didn't work. Game keeps crashing. This one got me ten minutes in, though, so it at least lasted me longer than other fixes did. :/ Game keeps freezing midgame with no seeming reason; event, map, game mode, etc. It even crashes in the menu.

you could also try uninstalling linux, and then installing windows
