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

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)
