Ensure that the FiveM servers are online by visiting the official FiveM status page or checking their social media channels. Make sure both your client and server are running the latest versions. Many issues are resolved simply by staying up to date.

Sometimes, issues occur because of corrupted or missing game files. If you're encountering problems, verify the integrity of your Grand Theft Auto V files through your game launcher (e.g., Steam or Rockstar Launcher). This process will repair or replace any corrupted files.

Pay attention to error messages. They can provide valuable information about the issue. Google the specific error message or consult the FiveM forums to see if others have encountered and resolved the same problem.

Mods and plugins can sometimes conflict with FiveM. Try disabling them one by one to identify the culprit. Start with those that directly interact with the game files, as they are more likely to cause issues.

FiveM stores cache and temporary files that can occasionally become corrupted. To clear them, go to your FiveM application data folder and delete the 'cache' and 'logs' folders.
