Methods to Fix Error Code TFAV0012 in The Finals
The Finals TFAV0012 error is described as an “Internal anti-cheat integrity check failed” and proves to be a major hinderance for players. This can be extremely distressing, as no one wants to go through the anti-cheat integrity check only to find out that they failed. Since its been a plaguing issue for many players, let us find out how to possibly fix this incessant error:
Disabling Third-Party Crosshair Software
Many players have been using third-party extensions and applications to import crosshairs into the game. It could be due to the presence of these external parties that the anti-cheat program is detecting a cheat. To combat this, players are advised to disable any and all third-party crosshair software.
Ensure that the third-party software that you are using are completely closed, even crossing them out from the system tray. If this doesn't work, you may have to get rid of the application. This might help you curb the Error Code TFAV0012 in The Finals.
Fixing the Easy Anti-Cheat Service
Sometimes, the TFAV0012 anti-cheat error might pop-up due to faulty installation of the anti-cheat service. To tackle this and experience a smooth gameplay, players must rectify the service.
Follow the given steps to do so:
1. Navigate to the installation directory of The Finals on your device.
2. Find the Easy Anti-Cheat folder within the game’s installation files.
3. Launch the EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe file as an administrator.
4. Select the ‘Repair Service’ and let the process complete.
5. Restart your device.
6. Try launching the game again to find if it resolves the issue.
Verify the integrity of The Finals‘ files
Another method you can try is to verify the integrity of the game’s files. This will help detect if there is a corrupt file in conflict with the anti-cheat. To do this, open the client you use, go to the game’s data settings and select the “Verify integrity of game files” option.
Uninstalling and Reinstalling The Finals
This is usually the last method that players resort to incase things don't work out. While this is not the most effective method, it can usually work by allowing the game files to reinstall 'correctly', thus resolving the Error Code TFAV0012 in The Finals.
Simply uninstall the game from your device using the game's client and reinstall it. However, ensure that you have swiped off all the game files from your device. Any duplicate files in the system can further crack the game and cause crashes to occur more frequently. Go to the game's installation directory and remove everything.
After that, restart your device, reinstall the game and check if the issue is resolved.
If the issue still persists after testing all these solutions, then your next step will be to contact the game's support team and raise a ticket with Embark Games.
