Artifacts & Gamebuilds

This page will help you understand artifacts and game builds within FiveM.


For most servers, we recommend running the following:

  • Artifact Build: 17000

  • Game Build: 3407


What are Artifacts?

Artifacts are the specific build versions of the FiveM server software. They are essentially snapshots of the server code compiled by the Cfx.re development team.

An artifact contains:

  • The core server binaries (the actual executable files that run the FiveM server).

  • Necessary resources and dependencies to operate the server.

  • Updates, fixes, and new features introduced since the previous build.

Think of artifacts like versioned releases — each artifact has a unique build number that lets you run a particular version of the server. This is useful because:

  • Newer artifacts may include bug fixes, security patches, and new features.

  • Older artifacts can be used for stability if your server relies on scripts or resources that haven’t been updated yet.

How to View Your Current FiveM Artifact Version

To quickly check which artifact your FiveM server is running, you can use the version command in the server console.

Steps:

  1. Open your FiveM server console or terminal window where the server is running.

  2. Type the following command and press Enter:

    version
  3. The server will respond by displaying information about the current artifact build, including the build number.

Example output:

FiveM server version: 17000

What are Game Builds?

Game builds are the specific Grand Theft Auto V version that your server tells players’ games to use. Rockstar periodically updates GTA V with new content, DLCs, and changes to the game’s engine. Each update is identified by a build number (e.g., 2189, 2372, 2802).

FiveM lets server owners choose which game build to run — even if players have a newer or older version installed. This gives server owners more control over which features, maps, and assets are available in their server.

Game builds essentially decide what GTA V content and mechanics your server will have access to.

Key functions:

  1. Control available content — Some DLCs, vehicles, and map changes only exist in certain builds.

  2. Maintain compatibility — If your scripts, resources, or mods work best on a specific version, you can lock your server to that build.

  3. Enable newer features — Running a newer build lets you use the latest Rockstar assets and mechanics in FiveM.


How to Set or Change a Game Build in FiveM

Changing the game build is done in your server’s configuration file (server.cfg):

  1. Find the build number you want

    • You can see a list of supported game builds here.

  2. Edit your server.cfg Add this line (replace xxxx with the build number):

    sv_enforceGameBuild xxxx

    Example:

    sv_enforceGameBuild 3407
  3. Restart your server The new game build will be enforced when players join.
