Important parts

What is the issue you’re having?
See Screenshot, when checking task manager it isn’t showing Fivem game subprocess as running, nor is the specific file running on the “resources” tab.

What are you trying to do?
Load into Fivem.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?
Restarted Fivem numerous times, restarted PC twice, changed from production to beta update channel in the citizenfx.ini file

Error screenshot (if any):

And as you can see, fivem game subprocess isn’t actually running.

What did you do to get this issue?
Nothing, was working fine yesterday, turned pc on today, it tries to update when I start fivem and gives this problem.

What server did you get this issue on? Be specific and name some, ‘all of them’ by itself isn’t useful!
None, it did this on launch.

Additional comments

Hopefully I didn’t miss anything here. Did have a quick google but can’t find any issues similar to this, first time it’s ever happened to me.

I’ve even tried to uninstall fivem(to do a fresh install) but it won’t let me because of this file being in use.

Managed to uninstall through command prompt running as admin and reinstalled that way, working fine again now

Such a strange issue to randomly happen though.
