I cannot start FiveM. Everytime i try FiveM loads halfway and then a Error Code pops up.

Could not contact entitlement service. Status code: 401, error message: 0/, response body:

Report ID: si-0ea93c97f6a64a17a1d7aec3f0658377

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

I reinstalled Gta across several Platforms but it did not work.

I tried changing my Rockstar Account but it did not work.

I tried reinstalling Gta V , but it did not work.

I turned my Antivirus Protection off, it did not work.

Nothing i tried works.

Here’s the Fix:

delete %localappdata%\digitalentitlements (The FOLDER!) and %appdata%\citizenfx\ros_id.dat (Just the file.)

best regards. cya

yoo i found something this worked for me:

  1. Managed to fix the above error by running GTA Legacy in Story Mode one time. Then got a 401 error then the method below helped:
  • Make sure neither FiveM, nor Rockstar Games Launcher is running.
  • Press Win + R, enter %localappdata%\DigitalEntitlements\ and click OK
  • Back up all the files in there, leave them in a separate directory.
  • Delete all the files inside of DigitalEntitlements.
  • Run Grand Theft Auto V once through the relevant launcher you used to install the game with.
    Your FiveM client should now use your new identifiers, provided you actually have separate licenses. You might also have to delete %appdata%\CitizenFX\ros_id.dat which is your Rockstar Social Club identifier.
