FiveM crashes immediately upon launch without error message

:electric_plug: What have you tried already to fix the issue?

  • Deleted adhesive.dll (FiveM launches but can’t connect to servers; restoring it causes the crash again).
  • Reinstalled FiveM multiple times and change UpdateChannel to (Production, Beta, Canary) via CitizenFX.ini.
  • Reinstalled GTAV legacy from Epic game and updated graphics drivers to the latest version.
  • Reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributable (x86 and x64).
  • Cleaned the registry using Wise Registry Cleaner and Advanced SystemCare in Safe Mode.
  • Ran sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.
  • Updated Windows to the latest version.
  • Created a new user account without admin privileges.
  • Disable “Game Filters” in Nvidia App.
  • Clean Boot.
  • Disabled antivirus temporarily

What server did you get this issue on?

The crash occurs before connecting to any server, right at launch.

:memo: Additional comments

GTAV runs perfectly, and all other games and applications work without issues.
There are no crash dump files from CitizenFX, so I have attached a dump file generated using ProcDump while monitoring the FiveM.exe process.
Deleting adhesive.dll allows FiveM to launch but disables server connections. Restoring it causes the crash again.
Event Viewer error details: Exception code 0xe06d7363 in KERNELBASE.dll, with the call stack pointing to a failure in adhesive.dll during component creation.

:ok_hand:t2: Has been fixed by following these steps:

  1. Open your CMD as administrator

  2. Paste the following command: 👇🏻

  3. netsh int ip set global mldlevel=all

  4. FiveM works again!

I don’t know when and how mldlevel was modified, but I didn’t expect such a problem that only crashed FiveM. I hope the developers will check mldlevel and display an error message explaining the reason for this problem.

Hello!
Thank you for addressing their issue, but even after running that command — which, by the way, didn’t change anything since my PC was already configured that way, but you never know — the problem is still there and I can’t seem to fix it.
Do you have any other solutions ?

Hi, you have to check the Exception code via Event Viewer, I think It’s not the same as my Exception code.
