Ever since The Division 2 update version 1.7 on PC, it appears as though quite a few players are experiencing the same The Division 2 Easy Anti-Cheat Integrity Failure. It seems as though the error has only been affecting players on the PC version of the game, crashing at random times during gameplay or crashing before the game fully loads in. Read on to see if there is a The Division 2 Charlie-03 error fix.
The Division 2 Easy Anti-Cheat Integrity Failure | What’s the problem?
Thanks to this official Ubisoft Support forum thread, we know that there’s more than few players out there encountering the same Division 2 Easy Anti-Cheat Integrity failure crashes. To make matters worse, there’s not just one spot where the game is crashing thanks to the Easy Anti-Cheat failure.
For some, the game is crashing when loading in after choosing a character. For others, the Charlie-03 error message is appearing during gameplay, showing up at different but equally annoying times. It always carries the same error message, however. It appears to be affecting those playing the game on dual monitors, too.
The Division 2 Easy Anti-Cheat Integrity Failure | Is there a fix?
Thankfully, Ubisoft is aware of the problem. Ubisoft is telling players to play The Division 2 with Uplay administrator rights turned on, and if that doesn’t work, Ubisoft is suggesting that you reinstall the game. Both of these are general fixes, however, so if they don’t work for you, don’t be surprised.
There do appear to be workarounds to the bug, so not all hope is lost. If you are playing the game on a dual-monitor setup, try turning off both windowed mode and the second monitor that isn’t displaying the game. If that doesn’t work, you may want to try verifying your game files. According to user xl d0s3 lx, this should work. To verify your game files, follow these steps:
- Boot up Uplay
- Head to “Games”
- Choose The Division 2
- Click on “Properties” (you’ll find this between “Store” and “Support”)
- Go into “Local Files” under Properties and click to “Verify Files”
This has worked for some players, but unfortunately, others have found it only offers a temporary fix. Be warned though, verifying your Division 2 game files will take some time. Hopefully, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment will fix the Easy Anti-Cheat Integrity Failure bug in the next game update.

The Division 2 and the best and worst Tom Clancy franchises
Due to a set of circumstances only possible in our industry, the Tom Clancy name has been all over gaming. It's the first name in tactical shooters and one of Ubisoft's most valuable franchises. However, it's not all sunshine and roses. Here is the history of The Clance in video game form. -
The Hunt for Red October
In the late '80s, one of the prominent genres on home PCs were tense strategy games. Since graphics hadn't evolved as of yet, games, where you played in the theater of the mind, dominated the landscape. What better subject than the tense thrillers of Tom Clancy for these types of experiences? -
The Sum of All Fears
In 1996, Tom Clancy co-founded Red Storm Entertainment after seeing these early successes. Ubisoft subsequently purchased the studio in 2000 after establishing a working relationship with them. Ubisoft then purchased the Tom Clancy name outright for use in video games in 2006. By then, games tying into Clancy's movie successes just weren't enough. -
Rainbow Six
Originally based on one of Clancy's novels, the Rainbow Six series encompasses 17 distinct releases across multiple platforms. Each game features tactical first-person shooting and aspires to be a military simulation. This style peaked with a pair of Vegas titles released on Xbox 360. -
Rainbow Six Siege
After spending several years developing a follow-up to Vegas entittled Patriots, Ubisoft went a different way. Rainbow Six Siege is a multiplayer-focused endeavor with Overwatch-style heroes as its operatives. Although it started off on the wrong foot, constant improvements have made it one of the most popular shooters going. -
Ghost Recon
The second set of Clancy tactical shooters, Ghost Recon differentiates itself with its third-person gameplay and its large outdoor environments. There have been fourteen Ghost Recon releases, ranging from the modern day to the near future. Most recently, Ghost Recon took a turn into the open world with Wildlands. -
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
A subsection of Ghost Recon, "GRAW" was one of the standout games around the Xbox 360 launch. Combining the tactics the series is known for with then-futuristic technology made for a great combination. Ubisoft would revisit the idea with a direct sequel and Future Soldier in 2012. -
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher might have been in the running as an Xbox mascot back in the good old days. A stealth action series to rival Metal Gear, Sam's adventures are classics, particularly the original trilogy. The latest in the series was Blacklist in 2013, although there have been hints that Sam might drop in again any day now. -
EndWar
Taking Tom Clancy back to full on tactics, 2008's EndWar promoted itself on its voice-operated commands. You could control the entire game with a headset, although some reviewers found that to be difficult to achieve. A sequel started development but never saw the light of day. There was a free-to-play follow-up planned but it was canceled. -
H.A.W.X.
An arcade flying game taking place in the timeline of Advanced Warfighter, H.A.W.X. is a weird fit in the Tom Clancy timeline. Two games were released in 2009 and 2010, both receiving mixed to positive reviews. A seeming stopgap in the industry while Ace Combat slumbered, this is one name we probably won't be seeing again. -
The Division
The latest Tom Clancy joint, The Division takes the gameplay structure of Destiny and brings it down to Earth. Literally. This loot shooter doesn't quite have the tactical gameplay of past titles bearing Mr. Clancy's name, but it does have the squad controls and the storyline that attempts to match his most engaging works of fiction. Well, it doesn't have great storytelling techniques but at least it has the look and feel of a Clancy game.
