Question 1

Where do I find FiveM crash dump files?

Accepted Answer

When FiveM crashes, click "Save crash information" in the crash dialog. You can also find crash ZIPs at %localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.app\crashes\ on your computer. The files are named CfxCrashDump_*.zip.

Question 2

Is my crash data uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The FiveM Crash Dump Reader processes everything 100% inside your browser using in-memory ZIP decompression. Your crash data never leaves your machine.

Question 3

What is a crash hash key in FiveM?

Accepted Answer

A crash hash key (like "uranus-hamper-football" or "mighty-partner-storm") is a unique identifier FiveM assigns to each crash type. It helps identify the root cause -for example, null pointer dereferences, invalid handles, or streaming crashes.

Question 4

What causes FiveM to crash?

Accepted Answer

Common FiveM crash causes include: scripts passing invalid entity handles to natives, null pointer dereferences from nil entities, stack overflows from recursive Lua calls, corrupted or oversized streaming assets, and GTA5 update incompatibilities with installed mods.

Question 5

How do I fix FiveM crashes on my server?

Accepted Answer

Upload your crash dump ZIP to identify the crash hash and script errors. Check for scripts using GetPlayerPed(-1) or storing entity handles across frames. Verify game file integrity, remove outdated mods, and check the script error list for resources throwing errors before the crash.
