The Finals Error Code TFGE0001 | Recommended Fixes

The error code TFGE0001 in The Finals is a general networking error that primarily indicates a failure to connect to the game server or a server not responding during the matchmaking process.

The accompanying message is often: “SERVER NOT RESPONDING; WE CANNOT CONNECT YOU TO A MATCH.”

This is usually an issue on the server side (often due to high player load or maintenance) or a temporary conflict with your local network settings.

Recommended Fixes for TFGE0001

Try these solutions in order, as the simplest fixes are often the most effective for this code:

1. Restart the Game and System

A simple restart can clear temporary network glitches and reconnect you properly to the server queue.

• Completely close The Finals.
• (Optional but recommended) Restart your PC/Console.
• Relaunch the game and try matchmaking again.

2. Check and Troubleshoot Network Settings

Since this is a connection error, verify your network health:

• Restart Your Router/Modem: Power cycle your networking equipment (unplug for 30 seconds, then plug back in).
• Wired Connection: If possible, switch to an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi for a more stable connection.
• Flush DNS/Reset Winsock (PC Users): Open Command Prompt as administrator and run these commands one after the other:
  1. ipconfig /flushdns
  2. netsh winsock reset
  3. netsh int ip reset (Restart your PC after running these commands).

3. Toggle Crossplay

Many players find that simply changing the crossplay setting forces the matchmaking system to refresh, allowing them to connect.

• Go to Settings in the main menu.
• Navigate to the Gameplay or Network tab (check both if unsure).
• Toggle Crossplay OFF. Try to queue.
• If that doesn’t work, try toggling it back ON and queuing again.

4. Verify Game Files (PC – Steam)

If a game file related to networking or the anti-cheat system is corrupted, this can prevent a connection.

• Open your Steam Library.
• Right-click on The Finals.
• Select Properties.
• Go to Installed Files (or Local Files).
• Click Verify integrity of game files…

5. Check Server Status

If none of the above work, the issue is almost certainly on Embark Studios’ side.

• Check the official The Finals Twitter account or Discord server for any announcements regarding server maintenance, outages, or high server load.

The only “fix” for a server-side issue is patience until the developers resolve the problem.
