In just a few minutes, you will enter your own GTA V multiplayer world 👏

Requirements

Before drifting through the streets or managing your own police department, here are the requirements before joining the FiveM server:

• GTA V Legacy (The Enhanced version is currently not supported on FiveM)
• FiveM Client (Download Here)
• Server Configuration
  • txAdmin
  • Server License Key

Joining a FiveM Server

1. Setup txAdmin and the Server License Key, as these are required.
2. Head towards your Nitrado Webinterface and copy the Server IP Address.

3. Launch FiveM and click Play at the top left of your screen.
   

   (Optional): Link your Cfx.re account.

4. In the search bar, type >IP Address and press Enter on your keyboard.


Example: >5.83.173.248:10000

5. Wait a few seconds and you should be connected to the FiveM server.

You can also use the Server Name instead of the IP Address to join the server. However, you would need to configure that beforehand. The method above is for direct connections. With this in mind, invite your friends and begin building your own FiveM GTA V community!
 
💡 Pro Tip: If you love the server, hit that little heart icon to save it as a favorite. Makes it way easier to jump back in later – no need to search every time.

Common Issues

Cannot join FiveM server
If you’re unable to connect, there are a few reasons why. The first one is that you might be using the wrong IP Address or Server Name to join. Make sure it matches what you see on the Nitrado Webinterface. The second reason involves two things: setting up txAdmin & the Server License Key. Without doing either of these, the FiveM server will not allow you to connect. In the instructions above, click on the guides to begin configuring them. If you need assistance, contact our Support Team. If you’ve done everything correctly and you don’t see the server at all, then refresh / reboot FiveM.
 
Too many player slots
If your Nitrado FiveM server is refusing your connection due to player slots, then decreasing it is required. This doesn’t mean to downgrade, but rather edit the server.cfg file on the Webinterface and the CFG Editor on txAdmin. Head over to “Config Files” from “Settings” and edit sv_maxclients. The maximum number of players is 48, so anything under that is fine. Afterwards, log into your txAdmin panel and edit the same option in the CFG Editor. Save changes for both and restart the server so the changes can take effect.
