This is very clearly a network hiccup on your end, try using a different VPN (Cloudflare WARP is a good free one for a test, but don’t use it consistently - it’s quite unreliable) to download the necessary files. If it works on a VPN but not without one, contact your Internet Service Provider for help.

What if it doesnt work with a VPN? Could it still be some kind of network issue?

If you have the NVIDIA beta app enabled, disable it.

Ewgle1337 · July 4, 2024, 2:40pm

Nvidia, doesnt seem to be the issue here, any other ideas for what it might be?

_4iY · July 4, 2024, 4:08pm

Possibly, but if a VPN doesn’t help then it may be a software bug of some kind. Try a few different free ones just in case, and also - make sure you have enough space on your drive.

Main things that I usually get people to do are:

Check your firewall settings, did you accidentally block FiveM from Accessing the internet

Open Firewall & Network protection
Click Allow an app through firewall

Scroll down to FiveM and make sure that it is allowed through public networks and the tick in front is toggled on.

See if you’re still having issues after that, if you are then try

Right click your network icon on your task bar
Click Network and Internet Settings
Click Ethernet or WiFi (depending on which you’re using).
