I’ve got a decent PC, my GPU is considered above average, CPU may need a tad upgrade, I have good internet connections and speed, but I run every game I play with peak performance, including GTA SP/MP. But something about FiveM my PC does not like. I will run the game fine with 60 - 100 FPS, but out of nowhere I begin to get HORRIBLE lag spikes and freezes. It will freeze to 0 FPS for 5 - 15 seconds before resuming, will drop to below 20 FPS constant. I’ve restarted PC, FiveM, reinstalled both FIveM & GTA, I’ve completely restored my PC to factory settings, I’ve attempted to overclock both GPU and CPU, I’ve cleared all my cache. I’ve spoken to some of the developers who are well experienced from the server I most play on, and they’re baffled as to why my game performs the way it does. It’s been happening for over a year and it just kills it for me and makes it almost impossible to play and to enjoy it. Please, if you can help or have any advice as to this cause I will try anything. Thank you!

(If any additional information is required from my PC, please let me know and explain how I can obtain that information for you)

Have you tried to play on other servers to see if the results are similar?

Maybe try a pinned server?

I have, some servers are better than others, but in the end I still run into the same type of issue, sometimes just not as severe where instead of the game dropping to 0 FPS for 10 - 15 seconds itll do it for just a second or something.

Does it say if any resources are causing a delay? This appears in the bottom right corner.

I’ve seen some for frfuel, apartments, and little random things here and there.

Non polished resources can cause major FPS loss and can act different for each client as not everyone has decent computers.

Well I’ve ordered and installed a Samsung SSD and installed my GTA onto it and it seems to be working fine, I guess time will tell with this upgrade if it is what needed fixed haha
