FiveM cannot find GTA V: how to set or reset the game path

FiveM needs to know where your legitimate copy of GTA V is installed. If the path changed or was never set, it cannot start.

Reset the game path

1. Close FiveM completely.
2. Open %localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.app in File Explorer.
3. Delete the file CitizenFX.ini.
4. Start FiveM again. It will ask you to select your GTA V folder.
5. Pick the folder that contains GTA5.exe (for example, Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V).

Check your game copy

• Launch GTA V once from Steam, Epic or the Rockstar launcher to confirm it runs and is up to date.
• Verify the game files in your launcher if anything looks broken.
• FiveM requires an owned copy of GTA V on PC.
