What is the issue you’re having?
I purchased GTAV off of Steam, and then downloaded FiveM. Once downloaded the file (which does not have .exe in the name) would update, but not open - instead it would say “Select file that contains GTAV” however, no matter which file I select it says “this file does not contain GTAV”.

What are you trying to do?
I would like to use FiveM to join RP servers.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?
Yes, I watched many tutorials, sent messages to other gamers, reinstalled, etc. I also tried to change file location. Restarted computer.

What did you do to get this issue?
I downloaded FiveM and tried to open the program.

What server did you get this issue on? Be specific and name some, ‘all of them’ by itself isn’t useful!
NA

Additional comments

I have tried multiple different ways of downloading FiveM, and no matter what I do this message comes up and I can’t seem to get passed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! However please note that I am not a computer genius!

Thank you! <3

Well you have to use GTA V and not GTA IV That is the reason why it is not working.

On Steam, I don’t see GTAV?

[BambiLovi]

I bought the wrong GTA?! I just purchased it solely for FiveM

[Mr.Whitee]

Yep you bought geh wrong GTA version You have to get Grand Theft Auto V not IV

[BambiLovi]

I can’t seem to find GTA V on Steam, however I can purchase it on Rockstar - would that be fine to use with FiveM?

[Painwithin]

Yes, any version of GTA5 will work, not sure why you wouldnt be able to find it on steam though.
