Did you try to disable/uninstall your Anti-virus: Yes

I am also having the same issue. This has happened to me twice in the last 2 days and the only way to fix it is to uninstall GTAV and FiveM and reinstall both.

  • What server did you play on? OCRP
  • What did you do before the issue happened? I launched FiveM with a secured link that also connects me to the server. I play for a bit then close the game then the next day I am unable to launch it.
  • Can you reproduce the issue multiple times? Yes.
  1. Go to Steam, make sure your GTAV files are all updated.

  2. Uninstall FiveM (And all files, Delete the entire FiveM Folder) - Re-Download and install FiveM
    (Make sure to write down the servers you visit so you may search them again, or use the corresponding Discords for connect)

Make sure you clear your FiveM cache periodically, especially if server hopping. (Not all servers are on the same builds or have the same settings, so not deleting the cache files can potentially cause issues)

  1. I have done this. Except I use the Epic Games Store.
  2. When I uninstall FiveM all the folders go with it.
    I only play one one server. as well, but I di still clear my cache as well.

To anyone having this issue:

  1. Verify you have enough space on your drives, first of all, and make sure status.cfx.re doesn’t have any errors or downtime reported at the current moment;
  2. If you have any third-party antivirus, “endpoint security” kind of software or use a third-party firewall, verify it’s not blocking connections or deleting/quarantining downloaded files;
  3. Restart your PC and router (all of them if you have several) and try again;
  4. If that does not work, open your cmd.exe in Elevated privileges and run the following two separately:
    netsh winsock reset
    ipconfig /flushdns
    Restart your PC after doing so.
  5. If it still does not work it’s basically guaranteed to be a networking issue on your end, use a VPN (find a free one, if one doesn’t work try others) or contact your Internet Service Provider for specialized assistance.
