What is the issue you’re having?

Summary

The game crashes while connecting to a server (about 8 seconds after clicking a server join link, right after the game finishes all core init (INIT_CORE) steps) with the following error:

An error at adhesive.dll+B525CB caused FiveM to stop working.
Stack trace:
  adhesive.dll+B525CB
  adhesive.dll+B318C3
  adhesive.dll+2C3498

The crash occurs inside adhesive.dll, FiveM’s core game-hooking module. There are no other errors/warnings logged before the crash (no missing files, no corrupted assets, etc.).

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

What We’ve Already Tried

We’ve done all of the following, and the issue still persists:

  1. System updates — Checked and installed all Windows updates; system is fully up to date.
  2. Clean reinstall — Completely uninstalled and reinstalled FiveM.
  3. GTA V file integrity — Verified GTA V files through Rockstar Launcher/Steam, no issues found.
  4. Antivirus — Fully disabled antivirus software and tried again.
  5. ReShade — Completely removed ReShade and tried again.
  6. Official FiveM test server — Joined cfx.re/join/y4lg95, and the crash still happened there (so it’s not caused by a server-specific resource/mod).
  7. System32 check — Checked C:\Windows\System32 for conflicting files such as v8.dll, v8_libbase.dll, v8_libplatform.dll, GFSDK_TXAA_AlphaResolve.win64.dll — none of these were present.

None of the above resolved the issue; the crash still occurs with the same adhesive.dll signature.
