Abstract: Freyd's generating hypothesis for the stable module category of a non-trivial finite group $ G$ is the statement that a map between finitely generated $ kG$-modules that belongs to the thick subcategory generated by the field $ k$ factors through a projective module if the induced map on Tate cohomology is trivial. In this paper we show that Freyd's generating hypothesis fails for $ kG$ when the Sylow $ p$-subgroup of $ G$ has order at least $ 4$ using almost split sequences. By combining this with our earlier work, we obtain a complete answer to Freyd's generating hypothesis for the stable module category of a finite group. We also derive some consequences of the generating hypothesis.
