Also add what you already tried so far. - nothing that’s why im here because idk what to do

I have also verified integrity of game files and tried to launch fiveM again, but nothing happened the same message came up

Seems to be an issue with FiveM atm. I have the exact same issue

Please share a .sha1 file of the files in your update/x64/dlcpacks/ folder in GTA V. You can use any generic tool on the internet for generating SHA1 files.

This issue also started for me today.

Previously working just last week, regularly play on nopixel.

I have done no updates to my GTA5 files for months in terms of mods, config etc.

Today I fired up fivem and it downloaded an update.

After the update it then started scanning various files in gta5 which it normally doesnt do on startup, and now insists I have some kind of cache problem.

I have done the following.

Verified files using steam verify files function.

Same error.

Wiped the game completely and reinstalled it.

Same error.

then do so.

You want me to start installing mods? Weird advice.

Logically if its working, then fivem updates and it stops working, then fivem is the culprit, especially when others have popped up saying the same thing.

Perhaps I should clarify, the game is up to date.

well, then don’t phrase it so oddly?

Logically, if FiveM didn’t update for over a week, and then the game updates and it stops working, IS IT STILL?

Let me guess, you have the Steam version of GTA V?

Heck, even tried the obvious thing that is REBOOTING YOUR PC?

interesting question: do all of you have >16 GB of RAM (or 8 GB but no background programs running)?

rebooted PC etc etc etc etc

Reinstalled GTA V (via Steam) even though verified the game like 10+ times and all was ok.

Still get the same error message when trying to install FiveM.
6 hours and 30 minutes later. No fix
same issue.
Yes checked everything, Yes tried everything.

Clearly an issue with game file verification.

FiveM ?

I have rebooted the PC as expected its made no diffference.

So to clarify

Steam version of game and up to date in terms of the latest update available to steam.
Reinstalled/downloaded and files verified ok on steam files verifier.
Worked fine up until the latest fivem update.
Now on every startup it is checking 3 gta5 files, gta5launcher, update.rdf and patchday17ng, it then says the cache is outdated and shuts down.

Seems to me there is a file verification bug of some sort, can you please kindly post the full changelog for the latest fivem update?

OS windows 8.1 64bit.

When was the ‘last time it worked fine’? Over a week ago? This is related to R*/Valve doing something weird in their latest game update, nothing to do with recent FiveM changes.

The weird thing is that it’s none of the obvious things, yet it started to happen for a lot of people right when R* released 1.43.

Normally it’d be something related to files having changed, but people who did upload their file hashes showed that none of the hashes changed at all…

What happens if you delete FiveM.app/cache/game/cache.dat?

Less than a week ago probably about 5 days ago.

If you like I can supply all hashes of files, although I need to look for a bulk hash checker as the one I have can only do one file at a time.

For now, check only patchday17ng/dlc.rpf. Some people reported this changed, but only for Steam players.

for that file

CRC32: 7389846b
MD5: 6dca3b50a822af77ab83059fddb28474
SHA-1: c7163e1d8105c87b867b09928ea8346e26b27565

And there we have it.

R* updated this file (belonging to 1.42) for Steam players updating to 1.43, but not SC version players.

We’re going to submit a compatibility fix to the build bot shortly, this might take a while as currently the system only supports one single hash for a file. :confused:
