I have exactly the same problem.

same issue

hey, i helped in an other thread too here’s the solution:

  1. Download Revo Uninstaller and Uninstall FiveM with it…
  2. goto C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local and delete the “DigitalEntitlements” folder… (u can also do %localappdata%)
  3. Install FiveM again

for me it worked… I hope this helps

Instructions for resetting entitlements in FiveM:
Press the key combination Win + R
– This will open the Run window.

Type in the window that appears:
%localappdata%\DigitalEntitlements\

– Then press OK.

Make a backup copy of the files in that folder.
– That is, save them somewhere (on the desktop, for example), in case you want to restore them later.

Delete all “entitlement” files in that folder.
– This helps reset the licenses/account links with FiveM.

Open the “FiveM Application Data” folder
– You can usually find it in:
%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM Application Data

Find the CitizenFX.ini file and edit it.

In that file, change the line containing UpdateChannel and set it to:
UpdateChannel=production

I am also getting this. Tried reinstalling everything and still having issues. Its quite aggravating, wont let me even boot up FiveM. And the support says they’re up and running normally. Please help


HI !
Can you help me please?

This didn’t work. There is something wrong on CFX’s end and their leaving us out to dry instead of communicating and fixing the issue.

I’m not allowed to share what my issue is. It gets automodded. Thanks.

FiveM starts fine when I first boot my pc. After a couple of hours, the FiveM executable no longer works. When I double click it, I don’t get a splash screen, I don’t get anything. This persists through uninstalls, reinstalls, and the various other “fixes” posted on the forum. The only thing that allows me to start FiveM again is a system reboot. This started last week and has gotten worse, since, starting last week, FiveM was only loading after every fourth or fifth attempt at starting the program. Now, it randomly stops working until a reboot. The log file shows that an executable named Launcher. is attempted to start and that’s where the log ends. Sometimes, the log is empty except for “DumpServer is active and waiting.” I’m assuming, based on logs I have from when FiveM actually works, that certain information isn’t being correctly passed to the Rockstar Launcher, causing FiveM to stop mid launch.

So I tried every solution there is, but nothing fixed it. We need answers.
