FiveM Enhanced or Legacy? Escrow and servers
If your server uses escrowed paid scripts, ours included, keep it on GTA V Legacy. FiveM for GTA V Enhanced has been in early access since 21 July 2026, and anyone can run a server on it. But Cfx.re hasn’t implemented Asset Escrow there yet.
Where FiveM for GTA V Enhanced stands
We last checked Cfx.re’s sources for this guide on 3 November 2026.
- Early access. Cfx.re’s launch post says it “is available for everyone” and “will contain bugs and missing features”. The FiveM site still lists it as early access.
- A separate client. Enhanced has its own launcher and needs GTA V Enhanced with the Rockstar Games Launcher. FiveM Legacy stays in the existing FiveM client and needs GTA V Legacy.
- Two server lists. Cfx.re’s second development update calls one shared server list a “longer-term goal”. Until that happens, your players need the same game edition as your server.
- No release date. Cfx.re’s stress-test calendar of 12 August 2026 set public tests for 14 August and 4 September. On 18 September, Cfx.re added two more, on 25 September and 16 October. None of these posts gives a date for the full release.
Running a server on GTA V Enhanced
The Enhanced server is called Cfx Server. It’s a separate download from the Legacy FXServer files, and txAdmin is still built in. On the Server Download page, pick the platform “FiveM for GTAV Enhanced”. The server also needs the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (onboarding guide). How to make a FiveM server lists the server file names for both editions.
Most open-source scripts carry over. In March 2026 Cfx.re said that existing Lua, JavaScript and C# features and natives “will continue to work” on Enhanced. The breaking changes are the exception. Cfx.re’s page What’s Changed in FiveM for GTAV Enhanced says “some require code or config updates.” These are the ones a running server hits first:
| Change on GTA V Enhanced | What it means for your server |
|---|---|
| Player IDs are reused | When a player leaves, their server ID can go to the next player who joins. Scripts that assume IDs never repeat can break. |
| Key-value DB files | You have to migrate them. Cfx.re’s kvdb-migrator tool helps with that. |
| Pure mode is always on | You can’t use graphic mods during early access. |
| One gamebuild | Only the latest gamebuild, The Kortz Center Heist, is supported. |
| Mono is replaced by .NET | C# resources run on .NET instead of Mono. |
| NUI callbacks are strict | Added to the list on 26 October 2026. A resource’s NUI page can only call that resource’s own NUI callbacks, so a script that calls another resource’s callbacks gets blocked. Its fxmanifest can opt out with nui_ (NUI callbacks). |
Asset Escrow on GTA V Enhanced
The What’s Changed page lists Asset Escrow under removed features as “Not implemented yet”. Cfx.re gave its reason in the second development update, posted on 1 July 2026:
Asset Escrow support will not be available at the start of early access for FiveM on GTAV Enhanced and will arrive in a later update, allowing us to focus our efforts on core platform stability and performance.
In the same post, Cfx.re says it understands “that most production servers will want to wait for this feature before moving to GTAV Enhanced”. Once escrow arrives, GTA V Enhanced versions of the scripts you own “can be downloaded directly through the Cfx Portal”.
Cfx.re hasn’t given a date for escrow on GTA V Enhanced.
Our scripts on GTA V Enhanced
Our scripts are protected by Cfx.re Asset Escrow, so for now they run on GTA V Legacy only. They’ll run on GTA V Enhanced once Cfx.re releases escrow support there. Until then, a server that uses them stays on Legacy.
FiveM escrow explained covers what escrow locks and which config and editable files stay open for you.
Legacy or Enhanced for your server
| GTA V Legacy | GTA V Enhanced | |
|---|---|---|
| State | Released | Early access, with bugs and missing features |
| Game your players need | GTA V Legacy | GTA V Enhanced and the Rockstar Games Launcher |
| Escrowed paid scripts, ours included | Run | Not yet: Asset Escrow is “Not implemented yet” |
| Server files | FXServer (server, fx) |
Cfx Server (cfx-server_win_x64, cfx-server-linux_x64) |
| Sync tick rate | 30, or 40 with sv_useAccurateSends |
60 by default, up to 120 with sv_syncTickRate |
- Your server runs escrowed paid scripts: stay on GTA V Legacy. Cfx.re itself expects most production servers to wait.
- Every script on your server is open source: GTA V Enhanced can work. Check each script against the breaking changes first, and expect early-access bugs.
- You plan to add escrowed scripts: set your server up on GTA V Legacy, where they run today.
What to do now
- Keep a live server that runs escrowed scripts on GTA V Legacy.
- To try GTA V Enhanced, run a separate test server on Cfx Server with your open-source scripts.
- Report anything that breaks on Cfx.re’s GitHub Discussions page for FiveM for GTAV Enhanced, where it asks for feedback.
Our plans give you a set of our scripts for one monthly subscription, and they run on Legacy servers today.
When to check again
Keep an eye on the Asset Escrow row on Cfx.re’s What’s Changed page. As long as it says “Not implemented yet”, escrowed scripts stay on GTA V Legacy. Cfx.re posts platform news in its announcements, and we’ll update this guide when it releases escrow for GTA V Enhanced.
