RedM server artifacts are the builds of FXServer, the server program Cfx.re makes for RedM and FiveM. To update them on FREAKHOSTING, click Artifacts under FIVEM, choose Recommended, Latest or Pick a specific build, then click Change Build. The panel downloads about 70 MB, keeps your old build, and leaves your resources, server.cfg and txAdmin data untouched.

​
Before you start

  • Create a backup so you can undo anything a new build breaks.
  • Players are disconnected while the server is stopped for the switch.

​
Which FXServer build should I choose?

The top of Artifacts shows Currently installed, with the FXServer build and txAdmin version, for example “FXServer build 38055 (txAdmin 8.1.2)”. Click Refresh to update the page. Badges such as YOUR BUILD or OLDER THAN YOURS compare each card with what you run now. Each card also shows the date Cfx.re supports that build until.

​
How to change the FXServer build

1

Open Artifacts

Open your server in the Game Panel and click Artifacts under FIVEM.
2

Pick a build

Click Recommended, Latest or Pick a specific build. In the dialog, check the Build drop-down and the supported-until date.
3

Read the warning for older builds

If you pick an older build, the dialog warns that resources and txAdmin data made for a newer build may not work on it. You can go back afterwards.
4

Change the build

Switch on Start the server afterwards if you want, then click Change Build.
5

Start the server

If you left Start the server afterwards off, go to Console and click Start.

​
What happens during the switch

  1. The new build is downloaded (about 70 MB) while your server keeps running.
  2. The server is stopped.
  3. The server program is replaced. The old build is kept.
  4. The server stays stopped until you start it, unless you switched on Start the server afterwards.
Your resources, server.cfg, txData, cache and logs are not touched.

​
Is the FXServer build the same as the RedM game build?

No. The FXServer build (for example 38055) is the server program. The game build (for example 1491) is the Red Dead Redemption 2 version players must run, set in Startup > Game Build. See how to change the game build.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Does updating artifacts update txAdmin?

Yes. txAdmin comes with each FXServer build, so each card shows which txAdmin version you get.

​
What does “Not installed through this page” mean?

Your current build came with the server or was put there by hand. You can still change it with the cards.

​
Do FXServer builds expire?

Each build has an end-of-support date from Cfx.re, shown as until on each card. Check Artifacts now and then and move to Recommended before that date.

​
My server broke after an update. What now?

Change back to your previous build on Artifacts, start the server and check that it works. Then update the resource that failed before you try the new build again.
