# How to Update Server Artifacts in FiveM

> Maintain your server's core performance and security. Learn how to update FiveM server artifacts to the latest official Cfx.re builds via our Game Panel.

## Maintaining the System Core

**Artifacts** (frequently referred to as the server binaries or core files) represent the fundamental executable engine that powers your FiveM instance. Regularly updating your artifacts is a critical maintenance task required for compatibility with newer GTA V game builds, ensuring OneSync synchronization stability, and accessing the latest technical features within txAdmin. This guide ensure your server remains on the cutting edge of the CitizenFX ecosystem.

## The One-Click Update Workflow

FREAKHOSTING has simplified the technical process of artifact management into a centralized, single-click interface within your management dashboard.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access the Artifacts Tab">
    Log in to the [Game Panel](https://games.freakhosting.com) and select the specific server you wish to update. Locate the **Artifacts** tab in the sidebar menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Your Build">
    Browse the list of verified builds provided directly from the official Cfx.re repository:

    * **Recommended:** The most technically stable and community-vetted build.
    * **Latest:** Includes the most recent security patches and experimental features.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Execute Installation">
    Click the **Install** button next to your selected version. The system will automatically retrieve the binary assets and replace your existing core files.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize the New Core">
    Once the panel confirms completion, navigate to the **Console** and click **Restart** to boot the server using the new engine version.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Technical Verification

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Confirming Build Status">
    After the server initializes, examine the initial lines of the console output. The engine will explicitly broadcast its build number (e.g., `FXServer-master v1.0.0.XXXX`). Alternatively, you can view the "Host" metadata in the txAdmin dashboard sidebar to verify your current version.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Handling Version Rollbacks">
    If a specific community resource becomes unstable or triggers crashes after an update, you can use the same **Artifacts** tab to select and install a previous "Recommended" version, reverting your engine state instantaneously.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Warning>
  ### Prerequisite: Backup Verification

  While artifact updates are strictly binary-level and do not modify your `/resources/` directory or `server.cfg`, we strongly recommend generating a [Full Backup](/portals/game-panel/how-to-create-and-restore-backups) before performing a version jump. This ensures a safe recovery point if your specific mod configuration is incompatible with the new engine logic.
</Warning>
