FiveM Stuck on downloading content on all servers - logs show

Hey guys, i am new to fivem - first couple of days it worked perfectly, but recently it has been impossible to play, every single server i try to join just gets stuck on ‘downloading content’, with no progress bar or error message, just stays like that until i have to alt f4. When checking the f8 logs this is what i get u https://imgur.com/min8Xbc

And this is what happens when enable ‘localhost’ menu and try to click on that (dont know if its related but im sure will help) https://imgur.com/g38iL3u

I have reinstalled fiveM multiple times, cleared cache, checked for vps, disabled all firewalls, reinstalled GTA (i have never added any GTA V mods) Im not sure what else to do , I JUST WANNA PLAY HELP MEEEE PLEASE. The game works and allows me to download and get into a server maybe 1 out of 100 times at most, once downloaded i have no issue joining that server, but obviously i want to browse and find a server to commit to.

Do you have an anti-virus with a built in firewall?

i only have windows firewall and defender and i have tried completely disabling both !:frowning:

Is it the same one server your trying to join?

No its every single server, in the logs it also says something about failed handshake to server, unexpected error code 400

Not much you can do about it, server problem.

Initiating SSL handshake.
Handshake successful; connected socket 3 to SSL handle 0x0000000001f132b0
certificate:
subject: /CN=do-not-trust.citizenfx.tls.invalid/C=XX
issuer: /CN=do-not-trust.citizenfx.tls.invalid/C=XX
ERROR: cannot verify 145.239.205.202’s certificate, issued by ‘/CN=do-not-trust.citizenfx.tls.invalid/C=XX’:
Self-signed certificate encountered.
ERROR: certificate common name ‘do-not-trust.citizenfx.tls.invalid’ doesn’t match requested host name ‘145.239.205.202’.

Either Fivem disables verification in their calls to curl or more people are going to run into this. TLS 1.2 is basically required now. FWIW that server is severely broken.

If its happening on every one he tries i doubt its a server problem, it could be his end… virus scanner, firewall… date/time not being correct and causing ssl cert failures.

who knows… its hard to tell.

I get that error on my end. The cert isn’t expired, it’s invalid for a couple reasons, primarily it isn’t issued by a trusted CA (for obvious reasons).

Thing is, it would happen to everyone connecting to the server or in this case servers as he has tried more then one.

I myself have not gotten this problem before.

Not necessarily. Depends on a lot of things like a virus scanner. In the interest of security the cert should be verified but there are completely valid reasons for it not to. A test cert like this one for example.

obviously verification is replaced with a custom callback, your diagnosis is invalid. if this weren’t the case don’t you think fivem would be broken for literally everyone?

How do you know they aren’t? It would only affect servers that don’t have valid certificates or clients that are otherwise unable to validate them. Wine/Proton for example.

Thing is, your theory still dont fit… as there is players on the servers in question… so if that was the case it would effect all users on the “more then one server he tried” servers in question.

And which theory would that be? I literally just said it was happening to me. I never said it was to everyone.

That its server sided… if it was it would happen to all users on the servers.

Client sided sure, but not server sided.

any by client side i mean its something on that end that is having some weird problems with SSL certificates.

Do you know how tls even works? The certficate came from the server dude. wtf.

Just saying, why are others playing on the server? Think about it…

and it happens on ALL servers he tried… so you are saying ALL the servers are broken? i doubt this.

I dont think you realize that these failed certificates can be caused by other means then just the server… perhaps a quick google search will tell you tls goes both ways.

https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/troubleshoot/runtime/ssl-handshake-failures

A few seconds of searching google will do wonders.

So my question to you is this, do YOU even know how tls works?

Funny thing is I said that and gave two examples of where it can happen.

You can read online all you want, clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. For the last time guy, the certificate came from the server itself. Had you spent just a weee bit more time you would have known how to check yourself.

Fivem -DOES- disable verification in some places (bootstraping and updates for example). I suspect you didn’t know that either.

There are plenty of other people reporting tls related errors just look for threads where they are being told to disable their firewalls or worse, uninstall them entirely.

Sure they are, but the question is… why is it not happening to everyone on the same server? wouldnt it effect everyone?

You keep ignoring this question i have been asking.

If it is due to FiveM why is it not happening to every person… this person even states its happening on all servers he tries to join yet, i can join whatever one i want and not get this issue? and the server i help administrator seems to work fine and does not give this error?

I mean, think about it… its clearly not souly because of FiveM this is happening and the Client and Server are not communicating with each other properly or in this case “servers” which could still be on his end.

But, the only question that really needs an answer too is, why is it happening on every single server hes trying but not to every single person that plays FiveM.

Perhaps sense you know so much about how TLS works, you could provide a solution or possible reasons it could be happening to help rectify the issue instead of saying “oh its fivem’s fault”, if you feel it is… please by all means show why that is and how it could possibly be fixed.

Anyway, lets stay on topic, none of this is helping the user that is having the issue.
