How to Fix The Finals An Internal Anti-cheat Integrity Check Failed

Encountering the "An internal anti-cheat integrity check failed" error in The Finals can be frustrating. This error typically occurs when the game's anti-cheat system detects a problem with the integrity of game files or the presence of unauthorized software. Thankfully, there are several steps you can take to resolve this issue and get back into the game. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of fixing this error with a friendly tone of voice.

The first step in resolving the "An internal anti-cheat integrity check failed" error is to repair the game files. This process ensures that any corrupted or missing files are replaced. Follow these steps:

Launch the Steam client on your computer and navigate to your Steam Library, where all your installed games are listed.

Locate The Finals in your Steam Library, right-click on it, and select Properties from the drop-down menu.

In the Properties window, click on the Local Files tab. This tab contains options related to the game's local files, including the option to verify the integrity of game files.

Click on the "Verify Integrity of Game Files" button. This initiates a process where Steam checks for any corrupted or missing files in The Finals.

Allow Steam to complete the verification process. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the game files. Once completed, Steam will automatically replace any corrupted or missing files.

Outdated game files or GPU drivers can often cause integrity check errors. To ensure that your game and graphics card are up to date, follow these steps:

Go to the official website of the manufacturer of your graphics card. For example, if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, visit the NVIDIA website. Look for the section that provides driver downloads.

Search for the latest driver for your specific graphics card model and download it. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to install the driver. Restart your computer after the installation is complete.

Check the official website of The Finals or launch the game launcher to see if there are any available updates for the game. Developers often release patches and updates to address known issues, including anti-cheat integrity errors.

If there are any updates available, download and install them. These updates may contain fixes for the anti-cheat integrity check error. Restart your computer after the update process is complete.

Easy Anti-Cheat is a program that many games use to prevent cheating. Sometimes, the program itself may be causing the integrity check error. To repair Easy Anti-Cheat, follow these steps:

Locate the game folder on your computer where The Finals is installed. Alternatively, access the game launcher.

Within the game folder or the game launcher, look for an option to repair Easy Anti-Cheat. This option is usually found within the game's settings or properties.

Follow the prompts provided by the repair option to complete the repair process. This will ensure that Easy Anti-Cheat is functioning correctly and is not causing any integrity check errors.

Some third-party crosshair software may trigger anti-cheat detection and cause integrity check errors. To resolve this, you need to disable any such software running in the background before launching The Finals.

Enabling certain security features on your system can help prevent integrity check errors. Follow these steps to enable 'Memory Integrity' and 'Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blacklist':

Restart your computer and enter BIOS settings. The key to access BIOS settings varies depending on your motherboard manufacturer, but it is usually F2 or DEL. Refer to your motherboard's manual for specific instructions.

Once in BIOS settings, look for SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) or VM (Virtualization) options. Enable these options if they are not already enabled. The location of these options may vary depending on your motherboard manufacturer.

Save the changes you made in BIOS settings and exit. Your computer will restart.

After your computer restarts, load into Windows Security. You can do this by clicking on the Windows Start button and searching for "Windows Security". Open the Windows Security app.

Within the Windows Security app, locate the Device Security tab or a similar option. Look for settings related to 'Memory Integrity' and 'Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blacklist'. Enable both of these options if they are not already enabled.

If none of the previous methods work, it may be necessary to uninstall The Finals completely and reinstall it. Follow these steps:
