Many people (but not everyone) have a problem with crashing on startup, I think fivem should look into the problem.

Switch to the Canary build for now and see if that fixes it

[NxtGenOutlaw]

cant even load it to do that.

[RockysConnect]

Im getting the same issue right now. Not even sure how to fix. It was working just fine last night.

[NxtGenOutlaw]

Mine was just working fine an hour ago and then I come back and its not working.

[Livale12]

which one is the canary build

[Linda_Selby]

which canary build can you show me

[Bengao_27]

same problem here. I’ve already changed channels, reinstalled fivem, verified the integrity of the steam game files

[NxtGenOutlaw]

So i got mine to work again but unfortunately I had to factory reset my pc and reinstall windows 11 from a usb flash drive. I did that without formatting my ssd I use for all my games and it works now. It sucks I had to go that far but it is working now for sure.

I get either this crash or the second one. The second one is more common. Tried everything from removing latest windows updates to reinstalling them &updating drivers, reinstalling Fivem, checking integrity… I hope CFX looks into this… too many people got this issue. Must be on their side.
