**FiveM Discussion**
---
Hey everyone,
I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about GTA 5’s upcoming next-gen update and wanted to see what other players think about FiveM’s future compatibility. We’ve all seen how crucial updates can sometimes break mod support, so I’m curious if anyone has insight or theories about potential issues FiveM might face once Rockstar pushes out the new version.
- **Will FiveM servers require major updates or rewrites to remain functional?**
- **Are there any official statements or known discussions from the FiveM development team regarding next-gen compatibility?**
- **Have server owners mentioned anything about prepping for changes?**
If you’ve got any thoughts, concerns, or if you know something from following the FiveM dev forums or social media, please share. It’s probably too early to predict everything. It would be great to hear everyone’s take on what the future holds for FiveM.
Thanks in advance for any info or speculation you can provide. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Think about it like this: The last DLC is currently on the release branch. It’s been there for the past month. New clothing items are still crashing the client. You would think that since FiveM is part of R* now, they would have more support to fix it. But they are still reverse engineering *their own product.*

> Future DLCs incompatibility with FiveM is what I think will bring about the gradual downfall. When FiveM had OG developers who were quality-consistent and passionate, they figured out how to get things working - took a bit of time and a heck of a lot of dedication, but in the end they always provided. I don’t think that will happen as fast in the future, that’s assuming it happens at all.

> Quite frankly. Everyone should be upgrading. If someone cannot run a ten-year-old game on their PC, then there is not much we can do for them (albeit FiveM requires a slightly more powerful PC than your regular GTAV specs, I would say).

> So the new enhanced edition is now available to pre-download. Looks like it's not a DLC like everyone thought it would be. It's a whole new game to download. Will it work with FiveM if we uninstall the legacy edition and only use the enhanced edition...? Idk. But since they both are two separate games, it wouldn’t affect FiveM servers. But Rockstar made the enhanced edition mainly for modern up-to-date graphics and also stability and performance. So will it help FiveM servers? Yes, as long as it’s compatible. If not, then mod and script developers might have to make some updates for it to work and especially CFX will have to also make changes too most likely. But I hope these changes happen because of how poorly optimization of the GTA FiveM servers are because the game’s so damn old and outdated. These GTA V fixes would help FiveM a lot. If servers/moders/scripts don’t want to update for the enhanced edition then there’s no point in worrying about it since GTA VI will be out next year or two if there are delays for us PC users. Sucks we have to wait because it comes out this year for console.

> FiveM yes I would agree is very demanding comparable to if not MORE so than modern titles. GTAV base game not so much. Even with the updates to it over the years. Except for this update that's coming. Which is why we’ve warned our players to prepare for it and shared the latest specs.
Regardless of the initial release date, I would say most are not aware of the fact that FiveM is very demanding when you add in all the content servers have. However, either way, people need to get with the times. 90% of the players we see complaining about poor performance all have seriously outdated PCs but expect to be running 100+fps. *Not to mention they client-side mod the hell out of their games and wonder why they have poor performance.*

> Did you read this at all? FiveM Support For Newly Announced Grand Theft Auto V Upgrade Coming Soon, it tells you exactly how it will work; no one expected this to be a “DLC”. Servers can choose which version to run which will determine which version you need to have installed. The only “DLC”-like part is you will get access to cars previously only available on console.
This update will do nothing to optimize any existing scripts or resources. It is almost completely graphical updates. Servers that are not already optimized will become worse if they force the enhanced edition. To my knowledge, there are no major RAGE overhauls that add a ton of extra options. Any technical improvements are related to using more modern features like direct storage, ray tracing, DLSS/FSR, etc.
