[Bug] Cutscenes never finish loading - HAS_CUTSCENE_LOADED stays false while IS_CUTSCENE_ACTIVE is true

[reviewbd]

Summary

On the FiveM for GTA V Enhanced early-access client (FiveM (early-access/b92)), cutscenes never finish loading: after RequestCutscene or RequestCutsceneWithPlaybackList, IsCutsceneActive() returns true immediately but HasCutsceneLoaded() stays false forever (waited 30+ seconds). All other streaming in the same session works instantly (models, anim dicts, ptfx, MP interiors, vehicle recordings), and the same code works on the Legacy client.

Tested with both request natives, both fail identically:

• RequestCutsceneWithPlaybackList("MP_INTRO_CONCAT", 31, 8)
• RequestCutscene("MP_INT_MCS_5_ALT1", 8)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install FiveM for GTA V Enhanced (early-access) and join a server in a normal freeroam session.

2. Start the standalone reproduction resource below and run cutscenetest in the F8 console.

   fxmanifest.lua:

   fx_version 'cerulean'
   game 'gta5'
   client_script 'client.lua'

   client.lua:

   RegisterCommand("cutscenetest", function()
       CreateThread(function()
           local name = "MP_INT_MCS_5_ALT1" -- also fails with MP_INTRO_CONCAT + playback list 31
           local start = GetGameTimer()
           while not HasCutsceneLoaded() and GetGameTimer() - start < 30000 do
               RequestCutscene(name, 8)
               Wait(100)
           end
           print(("cutscene %s: loaded=%s active=%s after %dms"):format(
               name, tostring(HasCutsceneLoaded()), tostring(IsCutsceneActive()),
               GetGameTimer() - start))
           RemoveCutscene()
       end)
   end, false)

3. Watch the F8 console output after 30 seconds.

Requesting once only, requesting every frame (the R*-script pattern), removing and re-requesting, disabling any SRL and clearing camera focus make no difference.

Expected Behavior

HasCutsceneLoaded() becomes true within a few seconds after the request, as on the Legacy client.

Actual Behavior

HasCutsceneLoaded() never becomes true — the request stays active but is never serviced:

cutscene MP_INT_MCS_5_ALT1: loaded=false active=1 after 30000ms

Evidence

Log excerpt from a GTA:O intro recreation resource — every other asset streams instantly in the same session, then both cutscene waits never complete:

[intro] loaded model FELON2 (0ms)
[intro] loaded model SABREGT (0ms)
[intro] loaded model S_M_Y_XMECH_02 (0ms)
[intro] GARAGE_4 waiting: music=52810/52535 eventPrepared=1 cutsceneLoaded=false cutsceneActive=1 srlActive=true (2006ms)
[intro] cutscene still not loaded after 10002ms — stopping SRL to free the streamer
[intro] GARAGE_4 waiting: music=79893/52535 eventPrepared=1 cutsceneLoaded=false cutsceneActive=1 srlActive=false (29093ms)
[intro] TIMEOUT GARAGE_4 after 30006ms (eventPrepared=1 cutsceneLoaded=false) — continuing anyway
[intro] stage 19/39: MOCAP
[intro] loaded model P_CS_MP_JET_01_S (102ms)
[intro] loaded ptfx scr_mp_creator (75ms)
[intro] loaded model mp_m_freemode_01 (128ms)
[intro] LAMAR_CAR_DRIVE_26 waiting: music=108922/81751 arrivalCutsceneLoaded=false (29177ms)
[intro] TIMEOUT LAMAR_CAR_DRIVE_26 after 30000ms — continuing anyway

Additional Context

• Both REQUEST_CUTSCENE and REQUEST_CUTSCENE_WITH_PLAYBACK_LIST are affected, with two different cutscenes, so it does not look content- or native-specific.
• Everything else streams normally on Enhanced in the same session, which points at the cutscene streaming/servicing path specifically.

I can confirm we have the same issue

Same issue here. Works on Legacy with the same code
