FiveM Shortcut

How to Access FiveM Properties

Note: You can skip to step 3 if you already have a shortcut created.

1. Locate FiveM Application

   • Navigate to the FiveM installation directory, usually found at %localappdata%\FiveM.
   • Alternatively, you can search for “FiveM” in the Windows search bar to find the application.

2. Create a Shortcut

   • Right-click on the FiveM.exe file in the installation directory.
   • Select “Create shortcut.”
   • Move the newly created shortcut to a preferred location on your PC.

3. Access Shortcut Properties

   • Right-click on the shortcut you just created.
   • Select “Properties” from the context menu.

What can you add?

Shortcuts allow you to add multiple things to launch FiveM with pre-defined settings. You can do the following:

FiveM second instance

-cl2

-- Should look like this
%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.exe -cl2

This method allows you to create a second instance of FiveM, which is particularly useful for developers who want to test with a second player themselves. However, please note that this will not create a different identifier.

For more information refer to the Running two FiveM clients guide.

Puremode level

-pure_X

-- Should look like this
%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.exe -pure_1

Where X represents the level you wish to have (0-2 available). This will launch FiveM directly to the puremode level requested. This is good if you play on a specific server to avoid the “Puremode transition”.

Game build

-bXXXX

-- Should look like this
%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.exe -b1604

Where XXXX represents the build number you wish. You can find the list here. This will launch FiveM application directly to the build requested. This is good if you play on a specific server to avoid the “build transition”.

Please note that this will not affect the FiveM instalation. You can easily repeat the steps if you missed something. For any issue, join our Discord.
