CitizenFX.log file (Cant find)
.dmp files/crash IDs (Nothing)

I have already tried to verify through Steam 3 times. It says everything is normal.
NOTE I don’t know if it effects anything but my ā€˜GTA V’ is located on the same drive as ā€˜FiveM’ (D Drive, Not my boot drive)

Hope my info will help

Have a look at your CitizenFX.ini to see if its referring to the same directory as your GTA V is installed on.

It is the right one:
[Game]
IVPath=D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V

If that’s where your GTA V is located then yes

Anything else i can try?

If you’ve tried everything I’ve said and made sure that the ini file is looking in the right place then I can’t offer you any more help, maybe someone else will know more than me, but it’s telling you it cannot find some DLC.

could also mean some DLC is corrupt so if you have time it’s worth Re-installing everything. I know it takes long but if you don’t you’ll most likely be looking for a fix for a longer time.

I just edited my ini to resolve this error, looks like yours is maybe something differant.

hope you get this fixed man.

@NoodleCoup,

Please load into GTAV single player (Not FiveM). This will force download any missing DLC files! :slight_smile: Let me know if that works!

It didn’t work :confused:
I had to start over with a new campaign, and did the first mission

Hope you got something else.

EDIT I just reinstalled the whole game, dunno if it will work (will keep you updated)

I am also having the same issue, I have also force loaded into single player as well as checking up on my system cache a whole 3 times in a row. Still, I can’t seem to resolve this problem - let me know if the restart works NoodleCoup - I do get bored of the grinding experience of what GTA is.

You need to have the latest with patchday 15 not patchday 8 as it shows in the image i am running fivem with latest gta5 online update (gunrunning) and it worked fine try to see if you can update it and make sure your not using pirated copies as fivem does not give any support!

After reinstalling the game, FiveM seems to work

What i did:

  1. Uninstall FiveM
  2. Uninstall Gta V
  3. Download Gta V again
  4. Launch into GTA V Singleplayer
  5. Download FiveM from the original site (https://fivem.net/)
  6. When downloading it may say ā€œFiveM needs to update game cacheā€ this time you have the option to press ā€˜YES’, Do so
  7. For me it installed just under a GB of data
  8. From there just let it download

Thank you for all the help i got :smiley:
You make this Forum great :stuck_out_tongue:
