Welcome to this edition of our Game Client Release Notes, where we recap all of the work completed in recent months.
Asset Escrow Security Update
In October, we released an update to our Asset Escrow system to add a new layer of protection for 3D Models, and as part of a second update, for scripts as well.
We continue our monitoring and enforcement efforts while we work on additional measures that will be implemented in the future.
FiveM & RedM Stability Improvements
We added various checks to prevent a variety of crashes and memory corruption issues, making sure the loading screen busy spinner only shows when it should, and fixed an issue with playerped collisions not loading in certain scenarios.
Community contributors DaniGP17 and Ehbw also contributed several improvements, primarily for RedM, by extending networked vehicle pools size and implementing several fixes.
Featured Servers Rotation
Alongside our September 2025 Community Spotlight and the monthly rotation of Featured Servers in FiveM, we added a new mechanism for the game client homepage’s Featured Server slot, where every hour a new server from the current Featured Servers list will be promoted to the homepage.
We hope this change gives Featured Servers with lower player counts more chances to demonstrate the potential of their custom GTAV experiences to a broader audience.
Additionally, a new page about Featured Servers has been added inside our documentation, answering common questions around eligibility, removal reasons, applications, and reporting.
Documentation
We’ve published a new Getting Started guide to make it easier for newcomers to begin scripting on FiveM. It walks you through creating an account, installing FiveM, setting up a local server, and preparing your environment for your first script, with clear steps and supporting demo videos.
We created a new guide about Asset Escrow, detailing supported file types, Portal workflows, Tebex integration, subscription behavior, limitations, and how to use escrow_ignore.
Documentation was added regarding server name colors, which explains how to use the sv_projectName and sv_hostname variables to customize your server’s name and detail page with color codes.
Some information from our Support Site was migrated to the documentation (including the EOL/EOS article), the server issue page was expanded and restructured, notices regarding the deprecation of Lua 5.3 were added across a variety of pages, and we performed a variety of backend upkeeping tasks on the repository, removing the need for a customized Hugo version to build our documentation and allowing for easier community contributions.
Lastly, our guide on how to setup a Tebex store was updated to integrate a video tutorial from Tebex Academy going over the installation steps of a local FiveM server and how to connect it to your Tebex store:
The Tebex Academy YouTube channel contains an ever-growing collection of educational videos on Tebex’s integrations with FiveM/RedM, as well as updates on new products and features. If you’re a creator or server owner, you might want to keep an eye on their channel for future updates.
Security Vulnerability in ox_lib
A security vulnerability has recently been identified in ox_lib, a widely used open-source resource on our platform. This issue could potentially allow malicious actors or cheaters to cause nearby players to crash. We strongly recommend that all server owners update their ox_lib resource to the latest version available from the Community Ox fork, which includes a fix for this vulnerability. The updated version can be obtained here: Release v3.32.1 · CommunityOx/ox_lib
Server Enforcement Improvements
We deployed a first wave of improvements to services supporting server enforcement, which allow us to incrementally improve our enforcement capabilities and increasingly make server bans harder to evade.
Community Contributions
Over the past two months, we have received and merged many community contributions to our repositories. Thank you everyone for your continued hard work!
citizenfx/fivem
AvarianKnight introduced an update to the native code generation logic to ensure server-side natives are correctly included, even when specific games are set.
DaniGP17 introduced major improvements to networked entity handling in RedM, adding support to increase both vehicle and object pools via the PoolSizeManager, preventing script or mission registration failures. Tranquilizer death flags are now cleared after ped resurrection to prevent infinite death loops.
Additionally, pool searches in devtools were enhanced to be case-insensitive and allow substring matches. PropSet cloning is now validated to prevent cloning when the parent object isn’t cloneable, avoiding invalid network object states.
Finally, new client configuration natives (SET_CLIENT_CONFIG_BOOL, GET_CLIENT_CONFIG_BOOL) were added for RedM to control behaviors like keeping UI visible while dead and disabling the death audio scene, with flags that are resource-scoped and auto-reset on resource stop.
-
feat(gta-core-rdr3): support for increased networked vehicle pool
-
fix(citizen-devtools): make pool search case-insensitive and allow substring matches
-
feat(gta-core-rdr3): support for increased networked object pool
-
fix(gta-core-five): clear tranquilizer flags to prevent ped death loop
-
fix(gta-net-rdr3): validate parent clone status before cloning propsets
Ehbw contributed multiple fixes for RedM, including disabling host cursors to prevent NUI cursor loss, adding pointer checks to prevent crashes when pedComponents weren’t registered, and preventing the reload of custom collision files to reduce crash risk.
Model archetypes for networked vehicles, peds, animals, and players were also validated, enforcing safe fallbacks or rejecting invalid spawns.
Additionally, the ped deletion circular buffer was expanded from ~160 to 270 entries with related offset and limit patches, improving stability when many peds exist.
Identity-labs improved the numerical stability of the Unproject function for RedM by re-orthonormalizing view matrices and inverting view/projection separately, reducing jitter in world coordinates.
outsider31000 relocated pool size increase logic to the start of GetSizeOfPool for predictable adjustments (e.g., CPedSyncData), and corrected RedM object rotation/heading natives by switching to unified rotation serialization and reading orientation from sync data.
-
tweak(rdr3-poolmanager): relocated the logic for increasing pool sizes
-
fix(server): heading & rotation natives supprot for objects RedM

docs(game-references/pickup-hashes): update pickup hashes list and timestamp
IlMelons updated ToggleUsePickupsForPlayer to clarify parameters and added an example for controlling weapon pickup usage and drops.
LokiLeiche enhanced the zone references by adding three missing zones, improving descriptions, and linking to the canonical Zones page with examples.
Lucas7yoshi cleaned up cutscene documentation, standardizing native names and aliases, naming a previously hex-only native, and clarifying parameters and usage examples.
coalaura replaced outdated speech references with official documentation, added a comprehensive list of speech params, and clarified usage and limitations. The IsPlayerCamControlDisabled native was updated and renamed to GetAreCameraControlsDisabled, with clear behavior, aliases, and explanations.
