Missing Icons/Blips

That "error" can happen through a loading error or just a setting. Otherwise it could also be that you just didn't Discovered that Blip yet as we got a Discovery Script which only show the Blip when you were there at least once.

If you don't see any Blips at all then it's an error and you can resolve it with a simple Reconnect. if the reconnect didn't resolve the issue, then please move to the Clear Cache section and try to clear your cache.

If you just see a Couple Blips like Garages, Fuel Points and unbought Businesses Then open your M Menu, go into Player Options and then into Interface options. Search the Toggle Map Blips Option and press it Two times
If you just see a Couple Blips , Fuel Points, Traffic Permit markets and Pills Then open your M Menu, go into Player Options and then into Interface options. Search the Toggle Map Blips Option and press it One time
In the end the Map should look like this:

Map is glitching out

Transport Tycoon displays a lot more blips than was originally intended for Grand Theft Auto V. This causes the map to malfunction at times.

Wrong blip is being selected/Can not select blips/Can not move the map

To temporarily fix this issue, switch to a different menu tab with Q or E, let that new tab load in and then go back to the Map. You should now be able to interact with the map correctly again.

Waypoint is being placed somewhere else

See temporary fix above. Alternatively you can place a Point Of Interest (TAB by default). You can then place your waypoint on the POI. POI's do not save between sessions.

Map Legend is flickering

This is due to hitting a hard limit of blip types. To fix this issue you will need to hide some blips. To do this, type /blip, select Hidden Blips and hide blips you do not use.

Clear Cache

So you want to know how to clear your cache as you encounter a crash on the server and/or cant join anymore?

1. Press WIN+R
2. Type in "%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.app" or "%localappdata%\FiveM" dependant on when you installed FiveM
3. You are now in your Application Folder where you want to delete the file "cache.xml"
4. Now as you deleted that file try to join one of the servers
5. If that didn't help then go back to Step 1 and continue after that with step 6.
6. So the 3rd step didn't work then now as you are again in the Application folder go also into the Cache folder.
7. After the re-verification try to join the server again.
8. If that also didn't work go back into the cache folder and also delete the server's folder.
8.1 This will delete all server files you have downloaded and need to re-download them when you join the Server.
9. When Step 8, 8.1 don't work you want to delete the Game folder (this will re-verify the game files)

Steam authentication failed: Http 429

Note: This method will only work if you have other active identifiers linked to your account.

To fix this you need to close steam: Go to the top left of the screen Steam > Exit or use task manager to close the steam bootstrapper. Once steam has fully closed. Launch FiveM and join the server. After you have loaded into the server you are free to open steam again.

yaml-cpp: error at line x, column xx: illegal EOF in scalar

That error is an common FiveM error the only fix from our side would be to just retry to join the server. It could take up to 40 retries.

Otherwise, you could also just press enter and it should connect right away

This is a common FiveM error. Try connecting through http://connect.tycoon.community, http://ttstats.eu, or press F8 and type: connect 2epova (main server) or connect njyvop (beta server) .

Airports are not loading in

This is a common issue with FiveM Streaming Maps that we use for the Airports. To fix this please go to Esc -> Settings -> Advanced Graphics -> High Detail Streaming While Flying> On

This will fix the issues of airports not loading in whilst flying!

Falling through the ground? World textures start to disappear? Buildings looking like mush?

Try highering the Extended Texture Budget bit by bit until the issue stops.
Do not max out this setting all at once as this can worsen the situation and can cause other issues:

Esc -> Settings -> Graphics -> Extended Texture Budget

Set your texture quality to normal:

Esc -> Settings -> Graphics -> Texture Quality -> Normal
