Development Update: FiveM supports GTA V Enhanced.

Things have changed

⚡ Significantly improved Performance

OneSync has been completely re-optimized. Expected results:

• Bandwidth reduced — less traffic between server and client
• Lower CPU usage — both server and client side
• Memory consumption reduced — Server runs smoother even with many players.
• Latency improved — especially on servers with a high density of players.

The Cfx.re team has shown a video comparing network traffic between the original GTA V and Enhanced. The differences are very clear.

🔄 Backward Compatibility — Legacy scripts still work.

Good news for developers: Existing Lua, JavaScript, and C# scripts will still work on Enhanced without modification.

Except for custom 3D assets, which requires a new tool called Alchemist to be converted first.

🔧 Synchronization more accurate

Sync issues that the community has reported for a long time have been fixed:

• Bullet impact precision — Hits and hits are more accurate.
• Dead body sync — Dead players' bodies sync correctly between clients
• Reduce server-side workarounds that developers have to write themselves.

Things that change and may affect the community

Partially Closed Source

Cfx.re states that parts of the FiveM codebase will transition from open source to closed source due to the need for deeper integration with game engines.

"This represents a meaningful change for parts of the community" — Cfx.re Team

The team confirmed that this decision was necessary for the platform's stability and long-term sustainability.

Unified Performance Model

All servers will must use OneSync (no more legacy mode) which means:

• ✅ Performance improves on every server.
• ⚠️ Older Scripts not designed for OneSync may need to be checked.
• 📌 Platinum Element Club still required for max capacity (2048 players)

Timeline

Cfx.re confirms that GTA V Enhanced support will arrive "in the coming months" and will include:

1. Early Access Release — to allow the community to test and report compatibility issues
2. Feedback Period — Receive feedback before full launch.
3. Full Launch — Available for all servers.

What should Server Owners do now?

1. Check scripts whether they are compatible with OneSync or not.
2. Update resources that use legacy networking patterns
3. Test custom assets with the Alchemist tool when ready.
4. Follow Cfx.re Forum at forum.cfx.re/c/cfxre-announcements for the latest updates.
