Apologies for such a NOOB post, but maybe its me not understanding.

Just would like to know the process on running FiveM on steam. I assumed you just launch FiveM.

Thanks for any help. If there are other threads I should be looking into please tag them here so I can educate myself… lol.

Link to my post with screenshots of errors, logs etc: “Timed out while waiting for ROS/MTL to clear launch” Error when running FiveM - FiveM Client Support - Cfx.re Community
(Screenshot of my Exclusions list at bottom)

I have a fix! Basically for me every time I open GTAV normally windows asks for permission. FiveM basically has a stroke when this happens and gives this error, to pass this I went into settings as follows…

Windows Security -> Virus and Threat protection -> (under virus and threat protection settings click) manage settings -> (scroll down to exclusions) add or remove exclusions

Now what I first tried was adding FiveM to the list, in my case the FiveM.exe was located at C:\users\riotr\appdata\local\fivem\fivem.exe
(make sure to add this file to the exclusion list as a start.

For me that didn’t work so I then tried adding GTA5.exe to the list (note that I bought my copy off Epic Games, this process should work for all since it’s a windows problem and not a gta problem.)

My game was found at: D:\GTAV\GTA5.exe

Also make sure to add this to the list as this is what fixed it for me :smiley:

If this didn’t work I also watched this video on cleaning up C drive, not sure if this would help but I did this too prior to adding GTA to the exclusion list: (12) How to Clean C Drive In Windows 10 (Make Your PC Faster) - YouTube

Did you by any chance have Windows Defender’s ‘Ransomware protection’ enabled?

That’s odd. I can’t think of any other setting that’d prompt to allow even base GTA V.
