AND

If that works at all…

System specifications I run a 1070 Ti, with an i5 cpu, 16 gb ram, and a Prime Z370-P Motherboard, if thats what you mean by system specifications…

What did you do to get this issue? Launched the game, tried to connect to the Project Homecoming testing server

What server did you get this issue on? It was all the servers that i tried to connect to, but the main ones that I was trying to get into are the Project Homecoming racing servers

CitizenFX.log file Honestly have no clue what that is

.dmp files/report IDs Also have no clue

Also add what you already tried so far.
I started playing FiveM a long time ago on a different computer, i got a new one and decided to reinstall FiveM because i haven’t played it in a while, but now im not able to play on most servers because almost always fail to handshake. Ive tried about 10 different servers and only one of them works. It was one of the South Carolina roleplay servers, just picked it randomly to test. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Ive deleted caches.xml twice, still nothing. Ive seen a couple of posts reporting the exact same problem, but no solution. I get two different notifications when it fails, closed while deferring and timing out. My internet is quite strong and i used to connect to these servers before i built my new computer. Hopefully I can get a solution, because i really do miss playing on Project Homecoming and other servers.
