As you can see here, you can only specify the update channel via the CitizenFX.ini
which is located at your installation path.
BUT - there might be a workaround where you create a small bat
script which parses the arguments regarding the update channel, automatically edit the CitizenFX.ini
depending on its value and then launching FiveM as normally (running the FiveM.exe
) with also the remaining arguments that were passed to the script (things like -cl2
or some +set
s).
For changing the update channel via the ini file you might also have to delete the caches.xml
file, which was talked about here. But I have no idea if it’s still the case since it’s four years old and some things had changed over time.
