Important parts

What is the issue you’re having?
When I load in to any server on FiveM it crashes exactly when it says “loading game”, after the loading screen exactly before you can see your ingame, it crashes without error. The game just shutsdown.
Okay so this happens when I have my GTAV installed on my C drive. I had before on my D drive and it works fine, but thing is that when I have it on my d drive its very slow loading and I often fly through map, so I decided to have it on my C drive. I have had it on my C drive too before so it shouldn’t be a problem. So whenever I place anything in the “plugins” folder the game does this. But it works without plugins folder. This has never happened to me before.

What are you trying to do?
Get the game to work on my C drive.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?
Reinstall GTA V several times, verify game files through the launcher, disable antivirus, restart computer, reinstalled FiveM.

Error screenshot (if any):
Not exactly an error but it’s the last screen I see before it shuts down:

What did you do to get this issue?
I uninstalled my GTAV on my D drive and installed it instead on my C drive.

What server did you get this issue on?
On my own, friends etc.

Solved by: Moving my GTAV folder to my desktop. Same drive (C drive) but now it’s actually working!
