Who know how to check is player joining server with FiveM Release or Canary version ?
Or Do FX have native function to check this ?

I rather wonder why you want to ‘check’ for this as all update channels should have equivalent behavior.

If there’s a bug or such you’re trying to work around it’d make more sense to report such instead as eventually canary will be promoted to beta and later release.

I always using Canary don’t found any bug for me.
Hack always use Release version, I am making a Cheat protection so I need to make an option to force player use Beta or Canary.

someone know?

GetConvar("ui_updateChannel", "")

it returns canary, update or other version name which I don’t remember (it is client side btw)

As stated this is a working method to check on the client side.

Though I will say using this as an option to ‘detect’ cheaters is not a good idea. Most players don’t even know you can change your client version so relying on this will result in a ton of false positives…
