Welcome to our March 2025 Release Notes for FiveM, RedM, and FXServer.
Key Development Changes
Improved game client authentication
After a few eventful release attempts like this outage in March, we rolled out a stronger integration with the Rockstar Games Launcher to everyone that verifies if players own a valid entitlement of GTAV or RDR2 when launching FiveM and RedM. This new integration solves many potential authentication failures that were previously possible.
Alongside this, we have also been progressively rolling out our new authentication algorithm to all players throughout the past two months. This new algorithm is one of the steps we took as part of our continued efforts to address services offering to artificially inflate the player count of individual servers.
Loading screen spinner toggle
Community Member tens0rfl0w added a new Console Variable (ConVar) to disable the default loading screen spinner while connecting to a server.
You can now disable it by setting adding this line in your server configuration file: setr sv_showBusySpinnerOnLoadingScreen false
