Advanced GTA V players prefer custom mods and servers to get better multiplayer modification support. Cfx.re has done a tremendous job by releasing FiveM which works quite well with GTA 5. However, several players are encountering a couple of issues with the FiveM loading, voice chat not working, textures not loading, etc. Meanwhile, multiple reports claim that FiveM Scripts Not Working or Loading with GTA V on the PC which becomes frustrating a lot.
If we take a quick look at the Cfx.re forum, it seems that there are plenty of the same reports that have been submitted by the FiveM users. As per reports, it’s not giving any kind of options in resource development & modification. Somehow the scripts don’t load in the FiveM server except for the resources. It eventually prevents GTA V players from spawning and that’s why they get stuck in the loading screen most of the time. Now, if you’re also facing this issue then don’t worry.
