[Bug] Stuck on "Awaiting Game" and Never Launches

[ItsBillyBruhh]

Summary

When attempting to launch a FiveM server using GTA V Enhanced, FiveM gets stuck on the "Awaiting Game" screen and never actually launches or connects to the game.

FiveM appears to start the launching process, but it never progresses past "Awaiting Game."

The game has crashed: Integrity Check Failed
An integrity check failed and the game had to be terminated.

Hey, these are being investigated, thanks

[NaysKutzu]

Any ETA?

[ItsBillyBruhh]

this is affecting a little over 7 people in Cynical City RP

Any updates???? I cannot play at all or work on my server for the release date!

Same here since the Nov 11 client update (auto-updated ~12:40 CET). 9 crashes in a row, always ~20 s after the game starts loading, always "Integrity Check Failed".

• Report Code: c8f3db08-9778-4d0a-9fda-8434fbc5c987
• Game build 1158_16 (Steam), Windows 11 25H2
• All dumps identical: ACCESS_VIOLATION at GTA5_Enhanced.exe+0xC85B97
• Happens on two different servers (both on server build 177), so it's not server/resource related
• No third-party modules injected (only Defender + Steam), game files unchanged since September
• Before the update everything worked fine

Same issue here, on the Steam build, with the same crash location.

• Client: FiveM for GTAV Enhanced build 173, updated 2026-11-11 ~13:41 local (UTC+1)
• Game: GTA V Enhanced (Steam), build 1158_16. GTA5_Enhanced.exe SHA-256 b48e80f5fc899eb89e5dcc9f3b68e9551cc8dcfac78b2a940b207e569e9987ea, which is identical to the copy in FiveM's gamecache.
• OS: Windows 11 build 26200. GPU: NVIDIA, driver 621.14 (updated, no change).
• Crash: 0xC0000005 read at 0x8, GTA5_Enhanced.exe+0xC85B97, in 3 of 7 dumps from today (all identical). Game logs are 0 bytes, so it dies before logging. The launcher stays on "awaiting game" and then reports a crash ~35 s after "Starting game using store: 4".
• Tried without success: deleting the server cache, full reboot, restarting Steam, the Rockstar launcher and FiveM Enhanced, and running as administrator.
• Ruled out: game files (hash match with Steam), client files (launcher validation passed), and the game path.

Full launcher logs and dumps are available privately on request.

This should be fixed now, so I'm closing
