Anti-cheat software kept me safe from hackers and other players looking to ruin my fun in The Finals, but it can do more harm than good when it goes awry. If you've encountered the same issue, here's how to fix the ''Internal Anti Cheat integrity check failed'' error in the game.
Ways to fix error code TFAV0012 An internal Anti Cheat integrity check failed in The Finals
Many methods exist to fix this error, ranging from quick and simple fixes to more complex ones involving tinkering your system's BIOS. As is the case with the missing angelscript callstack error, if one fix alone doesn't work, try combinations of multiple fixes. Let's dive in!
Reinstall The Finals
Sometimes, the most basic advice can fix seemingly unsolvable problems, and such is the case with many bugs and errors in The Finals. Simply uninstall the game, install it again, and run it to verify that the error has been resolved!
Verify integrity of game files
When using third-party programs in games, it's not uncommon for them to conflict with game files or even delete some files on a whim. To make sure your game files are a-OK and restore missing or corrupt files, verify their integrity every so often and your games should run without issues. Here's how to verify your game file integrity on Steam:
- Open Steam and go to your library.
- Right-click on The Finals and select Properties.
- Go to Local files and click Verify integrity of game files.
If you're playing via the Xbox client, follow these steps:
- Open Xbox and select The Finals on the left side of the screen.
- Click the ... button next to the Play button and then click Manage.
- Go to Files and click Verify and Repair.
- When the warning pops up, click Yes.
Disable third-party software
Even the third-party software supported by the game can cause garbage now and then, and your safest bet is to turn it off or delete it from your PC entirely. Once the game or third-party software receives updates, try installing the software again and see how it fairs!
Reinstall or repair Easy Anti-Cheat
Easy Anti-Cheat comes packed with The Finals and doesn't usually require any additional installation, but sometimes it can clash with the game and cause trouble. Reinstalling or repairing the program will make all those issues disappear.
Follow these steps, and you'll be good to go:
- Go to your The Finals installation folder.
- Go to the Easy Anti-Cheat folder.
- Right-click EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe and select Run as Administrator.
- Click Repair.

Turn off DTrace
DTrace helps the computer troubleshoot errors, but it can also cause issues with games that are Python-reliant. Here's how to disable it in a few easy steps:
- Press Windows key + R, type cmd and click OK.
- In the Command Prompt, type in bcdedit /set dtrace OFF.
To make sure everything runs smoothly, verify The Finals game files afterwards and run the game again. Your game should now run error-free!
Turn on Secure Boot
Enabling Secure Boot helps your machine run more efficiently by only allowing you to use software approved by your components' manufacturer. This prevents unwanted software from meddling in your game and keeps things clean. Here's how to enable it:
- Press Windows key + R, type ms-settings and click OK.
- Go to Update & Security, and then go to Recovery.
- Click Restart now.
- Select Troubleshoot, and then click Advanced options.
- Go to UEFI Firmware Settings and click Restart.
- Go to Advanced settings (Lenovo), Security settings (Dell) or Boot settings (HP).
- Choose TPM 2.0 and switch to Enabled.
- Restart your PC.
Turn on Secure Virtual Machine (SVM)
SVM enables virtualization on your PC, and some games can rely on this feature to boost the frame rate and isolate errors, including The Finals. Here's the step-by-step guide on enabling SVM.
- Restart your PC.
- Hold DEL, F2 or F10 depending on your motherboard manufacturer.
- Find CPU configuration in the BIOS.
- Find an option containing the word 'Virtualization' and select Enable.
- Save changes and exit the BIOS menu to restart your PC.
