Getting game crashes? Can't launch FiveM? Or maybe running into some moreobscure issue? Find the most common issues here.
Fivem Single Player Not Working
Vendors like Avast tend to delete mods like FiveM. After disabling the antivirus, select FiveM to the exclusion/blocklist. Make sure GTA 5 is updated and installed to the latest version. Download FiveM from their website. If the setup is run in an empty folder the mod will download there. Otherwise, it will install in. Disable any antivirus before you download FiveM. Some antivirus vendors like Avast, AVG, and others are known to block FiveM procedures, so make sure your antivirus is fully turned off. Once FiveM is installed, add FiveM to the whitelist/exclusions of your antivirus.
I crash when playing on a server
Crashes are fairly often related to a server-specific issue. To make sure your crash isn't related to a specificserver, it is advised to join the vanilla FiveM server. If that server works without your issue, werecommend you to contact the server owners of the server where you're experiencing crashes on. Otherwise, read on.
I've been banned on a server
FiveM is not responsible for what you do on servers, or what server admins do to you. If you believe you've beenfalsely banned from a server, contact the server owners. FiveM can not and will not provide support for this matter.
I've been globally banned from FiveM
That's unfortunate, don't cheat.If you believe you've been falsely banned, you can fill out the ban report at https://forum.cfx.re/w/ban-report. This is not a ban appeal, but this data is used for structured collection of potential ‘false positive’ bans.
Please note that you may not get a response and that FiveM forum/Discord moderators can not assist you with your ban.
Could not find game executable
Locate the CitizenFX.ini file within your FiveM Application Data and make sure it ispointing to the correct path. Open the file with a text editor like Notepad and edit the path to your GTA V installationif necessary.
FiveM is already installed
Gta Fivem Single Player Not Working
After you installed FiveM, you don't need to use the same FiveM.exe file anymore. Use the shortcut from your Windowsstart menu. Press the Start button on your taskbar and look for FiveM there.
If you uninstalled FiveM by deleting the shortcut, you might have to uninstall FiveM properly.
Game cache outdated
Press Yes if the dialog asks Do you wish to continue?. If you get an error like DLC files are missing, make sureyour game is up to date by following the instructions in the dialog. Also, make sure your CitizenFX.ini points tothe correct GTA V installation. You can find that file within your FiveM application data.
Error generating ROS entitlement token
Certain antivirus vendors are known to block FiveM for unknown reasons.Disable your antivirus and try again.
Error loading component xyz.dll
Delete caches.xml from your FiveM application data folder.If there is no such file, delete the entire application data folder and run FiveM again. For adhesive.dll also see below.
Error loading component adhesive.dll
Your Windows 10 installation is outdated. Please update it to at least version 1703. To check your current version, open command prompt and type winver.
Opening database (privcache:/) failed: IO error: could not lock file
Your privcache got corrupted. Please remove the “priv” folder from the cache folder located in your FiveM application data.
Entry Point Not Found
Delete v8.dll, v8_libbase.dll, v8_libplatform.dll if available in your C:Windowssystem32 directory. These are (leftover) files from other applications that incorrectly use system32 to place these files. FiveM loads dll's from system32 first, resulting in these incorrect dll's being loaded.
Moving of xyz.exe failed (err = 32)
First check your taskmanager for existing fivem processes if you see them close them, if that doesn’t fix the issue try disabling your antivirus.
Stuck on ‘We're getting there and it will be worth the wait’
Often caused by aggressive antivirus settings. Disable your antivirus and try again.
Stuck on a rotating splash screen
Delete %appdata%citizenfxros_id.dat and %localappdata%digitalentitlements.
Stuck on a black screen
This is a common issue with certain NVIDIA drivers. Stay patient, it takes a minute to load. This oftenhappens to other games too.
Stuck on a colored background but no menu
This happens on specific older AMD laptop GPUs. Unfortunately, this is caused by CEF and not by FiveM. Once the issue has been fixed in CEF, FiveM will be updated too. A forum moderator has created a topic that could potentially rectify this issue. Click here for more info.
FiveM uninstalls itself after running it!
This is most likely your antivirus software removing FiveM. Unfortunately some antivirus vendors falsely flag FiveM,and remove some (or even all) FiveM files as a precaution. You can safely ignore any warnings about this.
