Important parts

What is the issue you’re having?

My FiveM keeps opening as a file. I just bought GTA and installed it and five M. I also verified my game files on steam and loaded up GTA as well.

What are you trying to do?

Load up Fivem but when I click on the application it loads up my file folders.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?
Loading up the game. Verifying game files. Uninstalling GTA and FiveM and downloading them again.

Error screenshot (if any):

What did you do to get this issue?

Nothing I barely installed everything a day ago.

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

Take a screenshot of what exactly opens when you try to run FiveM, just the description won’t be enough here

Uh, isn’t that supposed to be the window where you point FiveM to your GTAV install? Find the GTAV.exe and “Open” it in that window

Okay when I open up the folder these are the files in there. Then I click on GTA and it just says “profiles” .

@_4iY

Find where the .exe is and point it to the file, there’s nothing else I can say - basic Windows folder navigation isn’t something I can assist you with
