Currently there is a fix in Proton hotfix and experimental bleeding edge.
Seriously give this game a shot. It can be overwhelming at first. The team at Embark have poured love into this game and you can feel it. It's such a refreshing experience and so much more than the average CoD.
The balancing isn't perfect and questionable at times. There is a bit of a learning curve. You'll certainly run into sweats but hopefully as new players jump in, it will balance out. The game is creative, dumb, and fun all at once. Not the highest game population on pc but it is rock steady between 15k to 20k everyday. That doesn't even include gamers on console. Worth a shot since its free.
Yeah, it's fun asf, but since I have issues with FPS and I don't like playing solo on games like these I never went beyond 40 or so hours
Frame rate or first person shooters?
I recommend hoping on the mic or using textchat. You will meet some really fun people. There are clubs you can join now for either competitive or casual people so you can request club members to join your party. They recently added a "Stay as a party" which after a match, does as it implies without adding them as friends. Additionally, you can find people in The Finals discord server with an active linux thread too. You have options. I totally get not wanting to talk to people so I use textchat a lot. Ultimately, if it's still a dealbreaker then not much to say but we both tried.
