5m launcher uses ungodly amounts of CPU and then crashes

What is the issue you’re having?

Mar 1, 2026, 2:26 PM EST

When I launched the 5m app it works for

about 10 to 15 seconds. Decides it wants to eat all my CPU power and then crashes with no error. Just completely closes the application. I don’t know why it’s doing this and I was taking every step to try and fix it uninstall and reinstall cleared caches and character cfx’s nothing’s working. Can

someone please help me

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

Like I said, I uninstalled the app completely from my computer. I cleared all the caches as well as my character data and nothing seems to be working
