Updating FiveM artifacts

Copy the latest artifact version from the FiveM website and enter it in the panel to update your FiveM server.

An artifact is the package of files that runs a FiveM server. New artifacts fix bugs and add features, and some scripts require a specific, newer version. You set the artifact version in the panel, and the server downloads it on its own.

Copying the artifact version

  1. Open the artifacts page

    Go to the Download Server Artifact (opens in a new tab) page and set:

    • Platform: FiveM / RedM,
    • Operating System: Linux,
    • Update Branch: Latest for the newest version or Recommended for the version tested by the FiveM team.

  2. Copy the download link

    Right-click the Download button and choose Copy link address. Don't download the file, you only need the link.

  3. Cut the version out of the link

    The version is the part of the link between master/ and /fx.tar.xz: the build number and the string after the hyphen.

An example link and the version you take from it:

https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/38621-5412ed86f9eff1b81d2afb10cff85153b043d3b8/fx.tar.xz

38621-5412ed86f9eff1b81d2afb10cff85153b043d3b8

Setting the version in the panel

The client panel is available in Polish only, so its labels are given in Polish with a translation.

  1. Paste the version

    In the client panel, go to the Parametry startowe (Startup parameters) tab and paste the version into the Wersja artefaktu FiveM (FiveM artifact version) field.

  2. Reinstall the server

    Click Zreinstaluj serwer (Reinstall server). The server downloads the chosen artifact and the basic FiveM files.

  3. Start the server

    When the reinstall finishes, start the server in the Konsola (Console) tab.

Checking the version

When the server starts, the Konsola (Console) tab shows the build number, such as b38621 in the line with the txAdmin version.

Common problems

The server still has the old version after reinstalling

Stop the server, delete the alpine folder in the Pliki (Files) tab and reinstall the server again. The server downloads the artifact from scratch. This usually isn't needed.

The server doesn't start after changing the version

Check that the field contains only the version, such as 38621-5412ed86…, with no slashes and none of the rest of the link. Also make sure the link came from the Linux version for the FiveM / RedM platform, not FiveM for GTAV Enhanced. If that doesn't help, enter the previous version and reinstall the server.

A script requires a newer server version

When the script starts, the console gives the minimum build number. Set an artifact from the Latest branch with that number or higher.
