No native motion blur on FiveM while GTA V Story Mode works perfectly (RTX 4070 Ti)

What is the issue you’re having?

Hi,

I’m experiencing a very strange issue with FiveM.

Problem
Native GTA V motion blur is completely absent in FiveM.
There is absolutely no camera/object motion blur, even with MotionBlurStrength enabled and maxed out.

However, GTA V Story Mode displays motion blur correctly on the exact same PC.

My setup

  • Windows 11
  • RTX 4070 Ti
  • Latest NVIDIA driver
  • Epic Games version (Legacy)
  • FiveM b3258 (also tested Release, Beta and Canary)

What I already tested

  • Story Mode → motion blur works.
  • FiveM Release → no motion blur.
  • FiveM Beta → no motion blur.
  • FiveM Canary → no motion blur.
  • Launched Story Mode through the FiveM launcher.
  • Deleted FiveM cache.
  • Verified GTA files.
  • Fresh FiveM installation.
  • MotionBlurStrength = 1.0
  • MotionBlurEnabled = true
  • Different graphics presets.
  • No ReShade.
  • No ENB.
  • No visual mods.
  • Same result on every server.

Additional investigation

I inspected the FiveM process and confirmed that FiveM injects its own CitizenFX modules (adhesive.dll, scripting-gta.dll, etc.).

I also attempted GPU debugging using RenderDoc and NVIDIA Nsight Graphics to inspect whether the motion blur pass or velocity buffer is missing.

At this point, I no longer believe this is a graphics setting issue.

I’m wondering if FiveM disables or bypasses the native GTA V motion blur pass on certain hardware/drivers, or if there is a known compatibility issue with RTX 40-series GPUs.

Has anyone experienced this before, or can a CitizenFX developer confirm whether the native motion blur pipeline is modified by FiveM?

Thanks!
