There may already be a post on your topic   Below are some frequently asked questions  Can we Fix the vehicle despawning issue? This is a issue within FiveM itself. It is happening across multiple servers and is not just a us problem. Our Developers are currently waiting on a fix from FiveM to this problem, and trying to find ways to help make the problem have less of an effect on roleplay.   Can We This Vehicle To the Server?  Due to the amount of custom cars that we have on the server we will not be adding anymore at this time, we would love to have as many custom cars as we can but it adds stress to the server, We need to make sure that we are keeping the server playable for as many people as possible. The more vehicles that we add into the server the harder it makes it for people who have low / medium performance computers to be able to play on our server. Which we don't want. However the management team is always looking into vehicles that people aren't buying to try to update the vehicle list. Can We Add Body Kits or more seats to Vehicles?  With this we are limited as what we can do based on the model that we have. Vehicles in FiveM when they are released more of the time are "Locked" This means that no one can edit anything on the model to be able to add it into the server. Because of this we are limited to what we can do based on what the maker of the designer wanted the vehicle to look like.    Can we Cuff, Drag, and put someone into our vehicle? Can we frisk people while we are pointing a gun at them? The Answer to both of these questions is the same. Both of these suggestions are things that we are looking into implementing to the server. However the issue that we have to be careful of. Is there is a possibility that there are new people who come into the server just to be trolls and ruin the RP of other people. If we implement these features there will be players that come into the city just to "cuff" someone and leave them where they are. Making it so they can't roleplay properly until they are able to get out of them. Or people will come in and every person that they see they will rob. Making it challenging especially for new players to be able to get a start in the city. We are looking into ways that we are able to make it so both of these challenges won't happen. 

How to fix my color map texture on the pause screen. Right click your Fivem desktop icon and open file location.  or  Goto the directory you have installed fiveM on. Locate and select the FiveM Application Data folder. Next select the citizen folder. Then the common folder. Next select the Data folder. Then lastly select the ui folder. Here in this ui folder, drag and drop your "mapzoomdata.meta" file. Close this all up and restart FiveM. Done https://www.mediafire.com/file/94c4449pqig7a3a/mapzoomdata_fix.rar/file

You will be expected to follow all of these rules at all times. Staff do not allow ignorance as a justified reason or excuse for breaking these rules.     If you need to report a rule break, bug or issue with a mechanic, please report it to our staff team by either using our TeamSpeak Support, submitting a discord player report or opening a ticket on our forums.     SERVER RULES   Community Respect Your interactions with others should at all times be respectful and should not reflect on the player of the character outside of the server.

This means no violence or criminal activity can occur that is unrelated to the event. Breaking Character/Out of Character You must remain in character at all times. If an issue occurs, you must roleplay the situation out. You can report an issue to management after the scenario.  Do not use in-character terms or slang to refer to anything that exists outside of the game universe.

This includes using in-character terms.  Do not use OOC chat to rant, mention in-character details or to flame a specific person. OOC chat is only to be used for game mechanic issues Deathmatching Attacking/killing another player without any roleplay/initiation leading up to it. Killing on sight is not allowed. Using your vehicle as a weapon to run over people without immediate danger to your life with no other choice (i.e. being shot at and you can only drive forward), or ram at excessive speeds.   Gunplay Your character should exhaust all possible options before using a weapon. This means using your gun to end a scenario should never be your first response. Any kind of behavior or roleplay that specifically revolves around constant use of a weapon in every situation without attempts to roleplay the situation without violence. Clothes available at the clothing store are not owned by anyone. Shooting someone because of the color of their clothes, cars, masks, hats, or any other vehicle or article of clothing. Metagaming The use or relaying of information which was gained illegitimately and not learned by your character in-game. This includes gaining information from Twitch Chats, or Discord. Your characters have no knowledge of each other, they cannot have a relationship. This includes referring to another one of your characters as your ‘cousin’  Your characters should not be in the same friend group/gang or family as each other. This eliminates two characters pushing for the same goal. You are not allowed to watch any stream whilst on the same server as the streamer.  You are not allowed to be in any third party communication with others when on the same server. (this includes discord calls, Teamspeak channels, facetime) You should not use the F6 button unless you are reporting a rule break or admitting someone to hospital Failure to Roleplay/Unrealistic Roleplay You must roleplay with emergency services. This means you must try and contact medical help of some sort when incapacitated or injured.  You should not walk past medical staff at a hospital to check yourself in. Failing to roleplay or choosing to leave your computer during roleplay at any time is prohibited. Disconnecting from the server to avoid roleplay will result in a ban. In this event of your game crashing, please return to the same server as soon as possible.

New Life Rule (NLR) If you are downed and respawn (via local flight) at the hospital your character forgets the immediate events leading up to being downed in the current scenario. There is no way for your character to remember who, why or how they were hospitalized. You cannot re-initiate, get revenge or retaliate in any way if you take a local flight.  Exploits/Circumventing Mechanics You are not permitted to use any sort of macro, script or software to automate any kind of gameplay. You must report any bug or issue with a game mechanic; if caught with modded/bugged items, money or weapons that you’ve kept for your own benefit as opposed to reporting it to staff, you will be removed from the community. If it doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t.   No Value Roleplay You must value your character’s life. You cannot be fearless in the face of imminent danger or severe harm to your character.  Your life is more important than your possessions.  Criminal Activity Groups or gangs are limited to 5 people at one time. (This includes drivers, backup, lookouts or anyone that is involved with the crime.)   This extends to any kind of gang-truce or agreement between two groups. Two gangs working towards the same means count as one group.

A heist is defined as an illegal job that requires travel and gaining entrance to a location after the job is triggered. This does not include bank robberies, but does include things like the Cayo Perico heist and Humane Labs.  You are not allowed to attack on-duty medical staff or paramedics   Safe zones A safe zone is any hospital, police station, clothing store, public garage, barber shop or repair shops (whilst inside the menu). No violent crime can occur in these zones unless a scenario you are a part of has led there. If you are being chased, you cannot drive into a safe zone for protection. Simeon's & DMV should be treated as neutral grounds. Any excessive/repeated amounts of crime or harassment will be handled. You can read this Discord message for more info. You can not attempt to get someone released from custody whilst at a hospital or police station. Power gaming/Griefing Forceful roleplay that does not give the other player a chance to roleplay their own response.
