You know, back in the day, playing GTA V was all about causing chaos, outsmarting the cops, and maybe, just maybe, completing a few missions here and there. But then, FiveM waltzed in and turned everything on its head, didn’t it? It’s like that one friend who comes over, rearranges your living room, and suddenly, it’s like you’ve got a brand new pad. FiveM has become that game-changing buddy for us GTA V fans, offering a sandbox so vast and so customizable that it feels like a whole new universe.
FiveM is still one of the most popular game modifications ever played and still is to date. CFX are still boasting a daily player count of around 120,000 according to their website. This must be somewhat accurate because people are still joining the Game Launcher Creator every single day to create their own custom FiveM launchers.
GLCV3 has supported direct FiveM server connectivity since 2018 and with an ever-growing userbase, we have created our own mods and scripts along the way.
With FiveM’s popularity still skyrocketing, we feel like it’s important to let you know what the best and latest mods are to use for your own FiveM servers.

Mod Configuration Issues and Troubleshooting
Now let’s take a look at some common configuration issue with FiveM mods and some advice on how to fix said issues.
Entitlement Block Errors in FiveM
Entitlement Block Errors in FiveM are essentially authorization or access issues that can prevent players from accessing servers, features, or content within the FiveM mod for GTA V. These errors typically stem from problems with the verification process between FiveM and third-party platforms like Epic Games or Social Club, which are required for authenticating ownership of GTA V and granting access to FiveM’s extended features.
Symptoms
- Inability to Access Certain Servers or Features: Players may find themselves unable to join specific servers or access particular content within FiveM.
- Error Messages: The game may display specific error messages related to entitlement or authorization failures, often mentioning Epic Games or Social Club.
- Interruptions in Gameplay: These errors can abruptly disrupt gameplay, especially when attempting to access content that requires additional verification.
Step-by-Step Solutions
- Verify Game Ownership: Ensure that your copy of GTA V is properly authenticated on the platform you’re using (Epic Games or Social Club). This may involve re-entering credentials or re-linking your account to FiveM.
- Check for Server Issues: Sometimes, the problem might not be on your end. Verify if the FiveM servers are up and running without issues. You can check the official FiveM website or community forums for any announcements regarding server downtime or maintenance.
- Update FiveM and GTA V: Ensure that both your FiveM mod and GTA V game are updated to their latest versions. Outdated versions might lead to compatibility issues, resulting in entitlement errors.
- Reinstall FiveM: If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, consider reinstalling FiveM. A fresh install can sometimes fix the problem by resetting any corrupt or incorrectly configured files.
- Disable Conflicting Software: Antivirus and firewall software can sometimes interfere with FiveM’s operation. Try temporarily disabling these programs (ensure you’re not exposing your system to potential threats) or adding FiveM as an exception to your antivirus/firewall settings.
- Consult FiveM Support: If you’re still encountering issues, reaching out to FiveM’s support team or community forums can provide more personalized troubleshooting steps or solutions that might be specific to your situation.
Connection Errors and Failures in FiveM
Connection Failures in FiveM, manifested through the “Connection Failed” error, are common issues that hinder players from connecting to servers, impacting their multiplayer experience. This error can be attributed to a range of factors, from local network issues to server-side problems in FiveM.
Symptoms
- Inability to Connect to Servers: The most direct impact is the failure to join any multiplayer server within FiveM, preventing gameplay.
- Repeated Timeouts: Players might experience repeated timeouts when attempting to establish a connection, often with an error message indicating a failure to connect.
- Intermittent Disconnections: Even if a connection is established, it may not be stable, leading to frequent disconnections.
Step-by-Step Solutions
- Check Internet Connection: Begin by ensuring your internet connection is stable and strong. A weak or unstable connection is often the root cause of connection failures.
- Restart Router/Modem: A simple yet effective step; restarting your network hardware can resolve temporary connectivity issues and refresh your connection to the internet.
- Verify Server Status: Check if the specific FiveM server you’re trying to connect to is online and functioning. Server downtime or maintenance can lead to connection failures. Websites like FiveM’s server status page or community forums can provide this information.
- Firewall and Antivirus Settings: Ensure that FiveM is listed as an exception in your firewall and antivirus settings. These programs can sometimes block the game’s access to the internet, leading to connection failures.
- Update Network Drivers: Outdated network drivers can cause connectivity issues. Ensure your computer’s network adapters are up to date with the latest drivers.
- Use a Wired Connection: If possible, switch to a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi. Wired connections are generally more stable and less prone to interference.
- Reduce Server Load: If you’re running the server, ensure it’s not overloaded with too many players or excessive mods, as this can impact connectivity.
- Reinstall FiveM: If none of the above steps work, consider reinstalling FiveM. A fresh installation can fix many issues related to corrupted files or improper configurations.
Application Crashes in FiveM
Application crashes in FiveM can occur due to a variety of reasons, including outdated system components, audio device conflicts, driver issues, and more. These crashes can disrupt gameplay and may happen at start-up or randomly during the game.
Due to the nature of not being able to directly diagnose the failure, it’s advised you run through this checklist.
- Disable Unused Audio Devices: Some players have found that disabling unused audio devices through the sound settings on their computer can prevent crashes. This might be due to issues with audio queue management in FiveM.
- Reinstall GPU Drivers: Corrupted or outdated GPU drivers can lead to crashes. Using a tool like Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode to remove current drivers and then installing the latest versions from the manufacturer’s website can resolve these issues.
- Clear FiveM Cache: Temporary files in the FiveM cache can cause crashes, especially after updates or patches. Clearing the cache, except for the game folder, can help.
- Update BIOS: In some cases, especially with AMD GPUs, updating the motherboard’s BIOS to the latest version can resolve crashes due to compatibility issues with the game’s rendering framework.
- Check Server Status: Before taking any troubleshooting steps, check if the FiveM server is down, as this can also cause crashes on launch.
- Update/Reinstall Graphics Driver: Keeping the graphics driver updated is crucial for game stability. If crashes persist, uninstalling and then reinstalling the graphics driver might help.
- Disable Incompatible Audio Devices: Incompatibilities with certain audio devices can lead to crashes. Disabling unused or incompatible audio devices in the system settings might resolve the issue.
- Update System BIOS: Ensuring your system’s BIOS is up to date is another crucial step, particularly because certain updates are necessary for game compatibility.
- Address Specific Crash Types: FiveM documentation lists specific types of crashes, such as “GTA5_bXXXX.exe!_runReaderThreadTick” and “KERNELBASE.dll!RaiseException,” indicating that diagnosing the exact type of crash can help in finding a more targeted solution.
Preventative Measures
In order to keep the majority of these issues, crashes and failures to a minimum it is recommended that you
- Regularly Update Software: Keep your operating system, FiveM, GTA V, and all drivers updated to minimize compatibility issues.
- Manage Mods Carefully: Ensure that any mods you use are compatible with your current version of FiveM and GTA V to avoid conflicts that could lead to crashes.
- System Maintenance: Regularly check your system for any potential issues, including disk errors, outdated BIOS, and unnecessary background processes that could affect game performance.
Tips for FiveM Server Admins
Mastering FiveM Keymaster
For server administrators, understanding and utilizing the FiveM Keymaster is fundamental. This platform assists in creating and managing server keys, vital for the server’s identification and connection by players. Emphasizing the importance of a unique and clear server name and description can help the server stand out. Regular updates, monitoring server performance, engaging with the community, and maintaining security are also pivotal for a successful server.
Setting Up and Managing Your Server
Encourage prospective server administrators to dive into setting up their server, emphasizing that it’s a hands-on process that requires dedication. Highlight that there are different types of developers they might need to collaborate with, including server developers, resource developers, and artists, each playing a unique role in server creation and management. Stressing the importance of self-education in server and resource management can empower administrators to take a more active role in their server’s development.
Creating a Unique Roleplay Experience
Advising server administrators to offer something unique on their servers can significantly enhance player retention. This uniqueness could be in the form of special events, unique scripts, or maps. It’s also vital to create a robust community by building a server team, being receptive to feedback, and continuously improving the server. Marketing the server through various channels, ensuring it offers a unique value proposition, and adhering to FiveM’s terms of service are crucial steps for gaining and maintaining a player base.
Create a Custom FiveM Launcher
Creating a custom FiveM launcher using Game Launcher Creator V3 offers several benefits for server administrators. It enhances player experience by providing a professional and tailored entry point to your server, strengthens brand identity, and simplifies mod updates and client-side file management.
Additionally, the launcher can display real-time server stats, clear the player cache, and indicate server status, enriching the overall gameplay experience and community engagement.
Plus, your community and players will connect directly to your FiveM server.
