FiveM client · AGN-KB-CFX-0002
Game storage outdated
The message
Game storage outdated
FiveM keeps its own copy of some game data. Yours is out of step with the game that is installed.
What you see
- FiveM reports this exact message at startup or while joining
- It follows a GTA V or FiveM update
What usually causes it
- FiveM's stored copy of game data no longer matches the installed game
- GTA V updated while FiveM's cached data did not
Worth checking first
- Check whether GTA V has recently updated
- Check the FiveM cache size and free disk space
Safe steps, one at a time
- Let GTA V finish updating in its own store client, then launch it once
- Start FiveM again so it refreshes its stored game data
- If it persists, clear ONLY the FiveM server cache — you will re-download server assets on the next join
- Cfx.re documents this one directly; see Cfx support article 8016876906140 via the client-issues page
These are suggestions, not instructions. Do only what you are comfortable with, back up anything important first, and stop if a step does not match what is on your screen. Advice, risk and responsibility.
When to stop and ask staff
Not an AGN issue.
