FiveM Server Artifacts

Which FXServer build should you run? The recommended artifact, every build with known issues and direct downloads for Windows and Linux.

Recommended artifact

How the recommendation works

A new artifact is not recommended straight away. It waits a short period so server owners have time to report problems. The recommended artifact is the newest one that has cleared that window with no reported issues.

No reported issues

Self check

Let your server check itself

Drop this into any server script. On start it reads the running build from the version convar, asks the API about it and prints a warning in the console if the build has known issues.

Updating artifacts

Stop the server, replace the contents of your artifacts folder (not your server-data) with the new download, then start it again. The update guide above walks through it step by step.

Found a bad build?

Report it on the report form or open an issue on GitHub so every server owner is warned.
