The Finals was released globally across all platforms on December 7, 2023. It has yet again topped the Steam charts and is one of the most popular games available in digital stores. The game offers a fast-paced, objective-based PvP experience, where you contest others as you strive to heist and deposit money in the game.

Being an online game, The Finals is not unfamiliar with bugs and errors. The "TFLA0002" error code has been one of the most prominent issues that have surfaced since the game's launch, and in this article, we will cover the potential reasons and fixes for this issue.


Possible fixes for "TFLA0002" error in The Finals

The "TFLA0002" error is possibly caused by network hindrance and connectivity issues on the player's end. While there has been no confirmation on behalf of Embark Studios whether this could be caused by server-side problems, the information at hand does indicate that it is client-side (on the players' end).

Below is a list of potential solutions you can try to bypass the error:


1) Check your internet connectivity

The first and foremost step to getting rid of this error is to check your internet connectivity. Disruptive internet connection, ones that cause packet-loss issues, can also hamper your experience while playing The Finals.

So, simply restart your router, plug in your LAN cables again, and reboot the game. This can potentially get rid of the "TFLA0002" error.


2) Disconnect your VPN connection

If you have a habit of using VPNs, disabling it might help you log in and play the game with fewer hassles.

VPNs tend to scatter your network's connection, and oftentimes, this leads to network connectivity issues in games. This is common in multiple titles, such as Overwatch 2, Apex Legends, and other games.


3) Verify the integrity of the game files

While the "TFLA0002" error is primarily caused by network connectivity issues, players have also found that it could be due to minor infractions in the game's software, often caused by disrupted downloads. This could very well be from quick power cuts, or a network disconnection by mistake.

An easy and simple way to get over this issue is to verify the integrity of the game. To do so, simply follow these steps:

  1. Log into your Steam account.
  2. Head to the game library.
  3. Locate The Finals and right-click it. Choose the Properties prompt.
  4. Go to Installed Files.
  5. Click on "Verify integrity of game files."

This will initiate a sequence within Steam, verifying all the game files of The Finals. Any potentially corrupted file will be deleted and then automatically re-downloaded. After completion of the process, you should bypass the error.
