Accessing Modern DLC Content

By default, FiveM servers initialize using an older version of the GTA V engine to maintain absolute technical stability across all client configurations. However, many modern community resources - specifically advanced clothing packs, high-detail vehicles, and complex map expansions - require assets introduced in newer official DLCs such as the Cayo Perico Heist or The Chop Shop. By enforcing a newer game build, you instruct the CitizenFX engine to stream these updated assets to your players.

Selecting Your Technical Build

Different builds provide access to different generations of GTA V content. We recommend selecting the build that precisely matches the requirements of your installed modifications.
Build NumberDLC NameTechnical Significance
1604Arena WarLegacy standard for high-stability servers.
2189Cayo PericoRequired for island assets and specific tactical gear.
2372Los Santos TunersUnlocks specialized vehicle modifications and race tracks.
2699The ContractEssential for agency-themed assets and modern vehicles.
3095The Chop ShopCurrent Recommendation: The most expansive asset library.

​
Configuration Workflow

Follow these steps to apply a specific build via the FREAKHOSTING management interface.
1

Access Startup Settings

Log in to the Game Panel and navigate to the Startup tab.
2

Input Build Parameter

Locate the Game Build field. Enter the numeric code for your desired version (e.g., 3095).
3

Manual Configuration

Alternatively, you can open your server.cfg and add the following variable:
sv_enforceGameBuild 3095
4

Initialize the World

Restart your server. Upon joining, players will observe a specialized loading bar as the engine downloads the required DLC manifests.

​
Resource & Framework Compatibility

While newer builds offer a significantly larger asset library, some legacy scripts may rely on specific engine quirks or internal memory offsets found only in Build 1604. If you experience client crashes or menu initialization failures immediately after changing builds, verify that your core framework (e.g., QB-Core or ESX) has been updated to its latest stable release.
