This is likely caused by your ISP not liking P2P connections and throttling them for some reason, try using a VPN (WARP is good for a test, but it’s quite unreliable) to see if the speed increases. If so, see if you can work something out with your ISP, or invest in a VPN to play if they aren’t willing to make changes.
Hmm,
Personaly I don’t think it’s the ISP since everything worked like a year ago and I didn’t change the provider or anything else.
I’ve tried the WARP VPN but now I cannot connect to any server.
Just to add for anyone reading this after, slow P2P connection (peer-to-peer is how FiveM operates in regards to your client/PC connecting to a specific server) is usually caused by your network setup, be it your actual devices’ settings or your ISP itself limiting it, outside of cases where the server doesn’t have enough network width, which is somewhat rare nowadays.
For players, routing your connecting differently - via at least a proxy or a full-on VPN - usually fixes it, if the VPN is good enough; for server owners, setting up a caching proxy will usually alleviate this issue for clients. The cause in most cases is on the client side, at least in my experience.
EDIT: I cannot in the right mind recommend using a free VPN full-time, as almost all of them sell your data in some fashion (that’s the only way they can pay for the servers, being free to use); if using a VPN is the only way you can play, invest in a good one. Good VPNs aren’t cheap, BTW, don’t fall for a low price if you need one.
