Wich esx version for a new Project

Hello everyone,

sorry for my bad english. I want to begin with a RP Project but i looking for a stabel esx version. is it this: GitHub - esx-framework/esx-legacy: Consolidated esx-legacy files into one repo for easy download since we will not support it ?

someone says esx 1.0 final is the best and someone else say esx 1.1 is the best.

The link you provided is stable(ish) and can be used just fine for a new project. ESX Legacy it is called. They are now moving it to a new SQL wrapper called oxmysql and pushed a 1.4 release, but it’s still the same ESX.

However I would STRONGLY suggest using QBCore instead.
I recently wrote my own framework based on my experience of using ESX for several years. My framework is similar to QBCore and the reason for that is ESX is SOOOOOO slow. QBCore runs far better.

ESX talks to the database way more than it needs to, which causes all kinds of lag, hangs and hitches. Again, I have used it for years, so I am not a hater that doesn’t know any better. I actually know from first hand experience. I suggest you avoid ESX, but if you are set on using it, that link is fine.

all youtube videos for fivem are also based on ESX Legacy.

No, not at all. In fact many are standalone, more are becoming QBCore based and the ones that are for ESX are for VERY old versions of ESX and are no longer compatible with the latest versions, which they’ve called Legacy.

Regardless, that’s a terrible reason to choose a framework. Based on what is most commonly available, despite it will destroy your server’s performance. Besides, if you are setting up a server based on what has the most open resources by other people, without you needing to convert these scripts to standalone or another framework, or based on what YouTube tutorials their are, then you will be creating nothing more than yet another plug and play, stock standard server. Of which there are hundreds to thousands. So save yourself the time and don’t bother. No originality.

If you actually want to create something new and original, then you don’t need ESX and in fact shouldn’t use ESX. That’s the most honest and helpful thing someone can tell you, in my opinion.

ESX Legacy 1.5 Is The Best When Compared To ESX 1.1 As ESX 1.1 is an Ancient Framework And Its Suggested To Stay Away From That Framework Because That Framework Utilizes essentialmode , Which is vulnerable to SQL Injection , Etc , Also Every New Projects Developers Release Supports ESX 1.2 (Weight System) .

When Speaking Of QB Core

As DrAceMisanthrope Mentioned That QBCore Is The Best Compared To ESX , Yes It Is. Because
When compared to Optimization, Less Instance Resource Utilizations And Realistic RP , QBCore Wins For Sure , But If You Are Going To Host A RP Server In a Specified Community , Then Just Know How The Players Are Going To Accept It , Like Not Every Community Should Like QBCore , In My Community , Most Of The Players Are Interested With ESX , As No One In My Community Loves To Play On Something Which Is Custom Frameworked… It All Depends On You & The Perspective Of The Players On How They Are Going To Accept It.
