Filepath to FiveM folder
FiveM client folder screenshot
Did you try to disable/uninstall your Anti-virus?

Also add what you already tried so far.

I am getting this error when I try to run FiveM.exe, I am running a Windows DVD Legit version of the game GTA V, there has to be a simple fix for this right? I was able to log into a map and see a skater skin, and then I noticed I had no trainer so I tried Lambda, and I installed in into a plugins folder in FiveM Application Data and Put the IM-Config in the main FiveM Application Data folder. When I ran it the second time and any time after this, even when pulling those two files out, it still thinks I play GTA V on Steam…CitizenFX.log.1 (16.5 KB)

Got a new error after PC Restart when I closed the FiveM by using it’s X in upper right hand corner to close it…

Can you post the error that you got?

[PurplePrius]

Ah nvm, have you tried installing steam and seeing if it works with that

[Harold_Watson]

I have a Steam account, I was thinking of running just to see if the same error pops, I’ll let you know.

[Harold_Watson]

Well, what do you know, Running Steam, even though I don’t play GTA V through Steam fixed this problem, thanks for the help PurplePrius.
