FiveM Discussion Bug reports

For a good bug report you should probably include:

  1. Client (production/canary) : Canary
  2. What you expected to happen
    Fast FiveM start
  3. What actually happens
    Slow FiveM start
  4. Category of bug (eg. client, server, weapons, peds, native)
    client
  5. Reproducible steps, preferably with example script(s)

Hello,

My FiveM is taking a long time to start, more than 1 minutes, but the cl2 instance of FiveM start in less than 10 seconds.

Reinstalling FiveM fixed the issue for some time but then it started again.

Here are 2 etl traces, the slow one and the fast cl2 one.

it seems to become worst and worst every day. Was 1min10sec 3 days ago and it is now 1min50sec

Where’s the repro steps? :confused:

Similarly,

why ‘reinstall’ instead of trying to find out what file or folder causes this? For example, checking for subdirectories and files by modified date and cut/pasting them out to a backup directory.

Reinstalling should never be needed and by doing such instead of/without keeping the old install around you destroy valuable evidence of a specific kind of corruption/breakage in the off chance a reinstall does help and the issue is in fact a bug…

Managed to get to a PC and check the trace, seems to be an unnamed background thread taking some sort of eternity, code in background thread is owned by nvwgf2umx.dll which means you’re going to have to report this to NVIDIA. We can’t do shit about yet another NVIDIA bug without repro, and the call stack shows just a single function looping over itself for a long time without calling any external APIs, so it’s impossible for anyone not NVIDIA to tell what it does or what might cause it, unless you actually have a repro (which we don’t, we don’t have your PC/OS install/anything, and neither is it occurring on any system we have access to).

The reason I reinstalled once was to be sure it was FiveM related, I then kept the corrupted install.

Anyway I did what you asked and I can get Fivem to start in 5sec instead of 2 minutes by deleting 1 files.
The file is called 9c5f7b879d7fe84968bc4b735912ce81_fce8395c8fd8a9c7_e3a7f04b6c3546c0_0_1.0.toc and is located in FiveM\FiveM.app\data\cache\NV_

I have uploaded it here but I have no idea if that file alone is relevant for you

That directory name does look odd, ending with a _ like that. Might be some NVIDIA update changed something around or so.

Will enqueue it for someone to check.

Might be mitigated by this.
