Rockstar Games rolled out GTA V Enhanced for PC on Tuesday, bringing both excitement and frustration to the gaming community. While the new version promises improved graphics and performance, it also introduces several issues that could impact FiveM players and server owners.
As the premier marketplace for FiveM mods, scripts, and MLOs, we’re tracking how these changes affect our community and what you need to know before upgrading.
Record-Breaking Player Numbers Despite Issues
GTA V Enhanced quickly dominated Steam’s player charts, peaking at 187,059 concurrent players on launch day—significantly outperforming the legacy version’s 133,569 peak. This massive adoption rate shows the community’s eagerness for improvements to the decade-old game.
The performance upgrades have been widely praised. Players report that even with new features like ray traced global illumination enabled, frame rates remain comparable to the original version on similar hardware configurations—good news for FiveM server performance once compatibility is fully established.
Steam Deck compatibility for Single Player has also been improved, potentially opening doors for more portable FiveM experiences in the future.
Critical Issues FiveM Players Should Be Aware Of
Despite the positives, several launch problems have resulted in GTA V Enhanced receiving a “Mixed” review score (50%) on Steam. These issues could potentially affect your FiveM experience:
- Removed text chat functionality: Rockstar Support has confirmed that text chat for GTA Online is currently disabled. While this primarily affects GTA Online, it raises questions about potential impacts on FiveM’s communication systems that rely on similar underlying mechanisms.
- Character migration barriers: Many players report being unable to migrate their characters to the Enhanced edition. For FiveM enthusiasts who switch between official GTA Online and modded servers, this could create frustrating workflow interruptions.
- Epic Games Store compatibility: Players who own GTA V through Epic (many received it free during past promotions) initially couldn’t access the Enhanced edition. While mostly resolved, this distribution platform inconsistency could affect FiveM server owners running multi-platform communities.
- Frame rate limitations: The game launched with an unexpected 120FPS cap despite promises of better performance. Rockstar quickly patched this issue, but it highlights potential technical limitations that could affect high-performance FiveM servers.
FiveM Compatibility Status
The FiveM development team is actively working to ensure full compatibility with GTA V Enhanced. Early testing suggests most mods and scripts will function correctly after appropriate updates, but server owners should proceed with caution when upgrading their environments.
For optimal compatibility during this transition period, we recommend:
- Running both versions side-by-side if possible (they can coexist on the same system)
- Testing scripts and mods in a controlled environment before deploying to production servers
- Checking with mod developers about Enhanced-specific updates
- Backing up your server configurations before making significant changes

Is Upgrading Worth It for FiveM Players?
The Enhanced edition offers significant performance improvements that could benefit FiveM servers, particularly those running resource-intensive mods or large player counts. However, the current compatibility uncertainties suggest a measured approach:
For casual FiveM players: The free upgrade is worth installing, but you might want to keep the legacy version installed until full compatibility is confirmed.
For server owners: Consider running a test environment with the Enhanced edition before upgrading your production server. This allows you to ensure all your critical mods and scripts function as expected.
Perguntas frequentes
