The Finals not launching after the new update — how to fix

Embark has a simple fix.

The Finalsis not launching for some players after the recent 2.1.0 update, but it’s nothing too serious. The developer has already recommended a quick fix.

The recent ALGS controversy, which saw Destroyer2009 hack into the computers of pro players during the live tournament, has raised concern around Easy Anti-Cheat, a program that is also used to cheat-protect The Finals. The game developer, Embark Studio, has taken extra measures to protect the game despite theanti-cheat company’s assurancethat they were not responsible for the breach.

As a result, players are getting a new dialogue box, “Nexon Game Security,” asking them to make changes to their devices.

What is Nexon Game Security in The Finals?

Nexon Game Security is a Korean anti-cheat technology that has been added to The Finals to protect against rampant hackers. Embark has ensured that it is part of the new update but has withheld a mention in the new patch notes.

Players are concerned whether Nexon Game Security is safe, but it shouldn’t be a cause for concern since it has been added by the developer itself. On the game’s Discord channel, The Finals developers have assured that the Nexon Game Security pop-up isn’t a random breach but an application that has been added in update 2.1.0.
