FiveM crash audNorthAudioEngineDLC at 90% loading on private server

What is the issue you’re having?

When joining my private FiveM server, the game crashes at around 85–90% loading.
I get the following error: audNorthAudioEngineDLC during INIT_SESSION.
This happens only on this server. Other FiveM servers work fine.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

  • Reinstalled FiveM
  • Verified GTA V files
  • Reinstalled GTA V
  • Disabled all audio devices except headphones
  • Removed audio/music resources from the server
  • Cleared FiveM cache
  • Reinstalled audio drivers

Additional comments

The crash only happens on this specific server.
Other servers load without issues.
I suspect a server-side audio or DLC-related problem.
