(just installed FiveM for the first time) FiveM needs to update the game cache, DLC files are missing or corrupted in your game installation. please update or verify the game using steam or the social club launcher and try again

Kamv · 2018-03-20T16:39:36.549Z

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 ?

chrcluk · 2018-03-20T16:39:39.838Z

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Now on every startup it is checking 3 gta5 files, gta5launcher, update.rdf and patchday17ng, it then says the cache is outdated and shuts down.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?

chrcluk · 2018-03-20T16:45:44.191Z

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.

chrcluk · 2018-03-20T16:46:49.772Z

for that file

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

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.

jannu01 · 2018-03-20T16:52:41.743Z

yeah, we have problem because steam had gta5 update today.

chrcluk · 2018-03-20T16:56:54.973Z

hmm so no quick fix?

this could be devastating for me because i need to pay my rent on nopixel by thrusday

get the patchday17ng from a friend with the social club version and overwrite yours

Kamv · 2018-03-20T16:58:13.832Z

well Many thousands of users use steam and will be home from work soon. So these forums will go into melt down with peeps kicking off.

Lets hope they can hotfix it quickly.

jannu01 · 2018-03-20T17:07:57.473Z

i think its not only patchday17ng, sh1 shows that there are 3 updated folders:

jannu01 · 2018-03-20T17:21:05.569Z

good try, not working, same error

/edit
second time yes, it worked

Kamv · 2018-03-20T17:22:28.505Z

I would suggest we wait for the hotfix (rather than get further issues trying to do work arounds)

chrcluk · 2018-03-20T17:24:29.484Z

I think that file works, fivem is proceeding with updates past the error. I virus scanned the file as well.

it works, I am sorry for my aggressive tone in the early posts. Was borne out of frustration.

Try this one, it’s open source but you can download the release if you don’t want to build it yourself:

GitHub

Release DLCPacks Hasher v1.1 · DevTestingPizza/GTAV-DLCPacks-Hasher

small utility to quickly hash all files from a specific folder inside your GTA V directory. - Release DLCPacks Hasher v1.1 · DevTestingPizza/GTAV-DLCPacks-Hasher

Simply run the exe file, select your Grand Theft Auto V\update\x64\dlcpacks\ folder and wait until it’s done (can probably take up to a minute to complete) and watch all your sha1 hashes be outputted to the textfield including the filepath for each file.

It’s a very simple tool but it does the job because it was specifically designed for this specific purpose (only works if you actually provide the real GTA V folder, it does not work on other folders.)

aekornas · 2018-03-21T13:30:26.631Z

but when i replace this file, I wont be able to play normal gta right?

Vespura · 2018-03-21T13:35:46.250Z

There has been a small update pushed to FiveM to solve this issue afaik. So you don’t need to replace it yourself anymore.
