# How to Update RedM Server Artifacts (FXServer Build)

> Update RedM server artifacts on FREAKHOSTING: open Artifacts, pick Recommended, Latest or a specific FXServer build, click Change Build and start the server.

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.

| Difficulty | Time | Panel page | Download size |
| - | - | - | - |
| Beginner | About 1 minute | **Artifacts** | About 70 MB |

## Before you start

* [Create a backup](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/game-panel/how-to-create-and-restore-backups.md) 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.

| Card | What it is | Choose it when |
| - | - | - |
| **Recommended** | The build Cfx.re points most servers to. A safe default. | Almost always. |
| **Latest** | The newest build, with the newest fixes and features. | A resource or framework needs a newer build. |
| **Pick a specific build** | Any build Cfx.re lists, newer or older than yours. | You need one exact build. |

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](https://games.freakhosting.com) 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](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/redm/how-to-change-the-game-build-on-your-redm-server.md).

## 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.
