Okay, so youâre playing on a QBCore.net server and things are getting a little wonky, right? Maybe textures aren’t loading, or you’re seeing some weird glitches. It’s annoying, I get it. The solution? Clearing your FiveM cache. It’s like hitting the reset button for your game client. Let’s get this sorted.
Why bother clearing the cache?
Look, FiveM caches a bunch of stuff – server files, maps, resources – to make things load quicker. Usually this is great, but sometimes that cached data gets corrupted, outdated or just plain messy. When that happens, you’ll start seeing errors, graphical bugs, and loading issues. Clearing that cache forces FiveM to download fresh, clean data.
The Simple Steps to Clear Your FiveM Cache
Alright, let’s break this down. It’s not rocket science. Hereâs what you need to do:
- Close FiveM completely. No, seriously, shut it down. Make sure itâs not running in the background either.
- Open File Explorer (or Finder if you’re on a Mac)
- Type this into the address bar:
%localappdata%
and hit Enter. This takes you right to your local app data folder. - Find the “FiveM” folder. It should be there, hiding amongst your other program folders.
- Now, delete the “FiveM” folder. Yes, the whole thing. Don’t worry; itâll rebuild itself.
- Restart FiveM. Once you fire it up again, itâll re-download all the necessary files. This might take a minute or two, depending on your internet.
Clearing Specific Server Cache – QBCore.net
Sometimes, it’s just one server giving you grief. If thatâs the case and you know itâs a QBCore.net server, you can clear its specific cache instead of everything.
- Head back to the FiveM folder in
%localappdata%
. - Open the “FiveM Application Data” folder.
- Find the folder called “cache”.
- Inside that folder, you’ll see a folder called “server”.
- Look for the folder that has the IP address of the QBCore.net server you are playing on. You can usually see this IP address in the FiveM server browser when you join a server.
- Delete that specific server folder.
- Relaunch FiveM. The next time you join the QBCore.net server, it’ll be refreshed.
What to Do If You’re Still Having Issues?
Okay, so clearing the cache should fix most of your problems. But if you’re still encountering errors or glitches on a QBCore.net server, there might be other things going on. Here are a couple of other steps:
- Make sure your game is updated. Check for any new updates for FiveM.
- Check your mods. If you have any custom mods, they might be clashing with the server. Try disabling them and see if that helps.
- Join the QBCore.net server discord. If you think it is the server causing the issues, then the discord is the first place to go for solutions or help.

The server is designed to handle players doing this and re-download the server resources. I cleared my cache, but the problem isn’t fixed. As previously mentioned, it may be a problem with your game, your mods or the server itself, so you may need to consider those options
