Embark has made a statement I think in 7.6 or 7.5 patch notes, that even though they will not make a native version of The Finals on Linux, they still make sure this game will work on Linux, even once they switch anti-cheats.

On Discord (I know I know yuck) they said they’ve been cooperating with Codeweavers since Season 5, iirc as consulting to prevent making changes which would break the game on Linux.

There were two updates (iirc 5.12 and 6.9) which did break the game, but those got fixed within 24 hours.

What did the devs do?

If I’m not mistaken the Gamescope issue in Flatpak is not caused by Arch but the Flatpak itself and how it isolates files, making games escape the Gamescope session

6700 XT user here. I’m gaming daily and I have no issues with it, or rather none specific to it’s RDNA2 chip.

I can access the H264 and H265 video encoders in OBS via VA-API with no issues and they seem to work fine, as opposed to AMD’s Polaris architecture

Iirc Dell laptops have a Prochot flag which can get triggered by ex. off-brand charging brick or battery. I guess that screw was shorting something, which in turn would trigger that flag and throttle the CPU clocks
