Your game might be missing essential files or using outdated mods. Verify game files through Steam or Epic Games launcher - right-click GTA V, select Properties, then Verify Integrity. Remove any custom scripts from the scripts folder temporarily. Update your graphics drivers through GeForce Experience or AMD Software. If you're running ReShade or ENB, disable them first.
Open Windows Sound settings and set your microphone as the default recording device. Launch the game, press Alt+Tab, right-click the volume icon, select Volume Mixer, and ensure GTA V isn't muted. Check if your voice activation threshold is set too high in game settings. Some users need to run the game as administrator for voice features to function properly.
This happens when connection drops during save operation. Always wait for the save indicator to disappear before closing the game. Your character might still exist on the server - try logging in again after 10-15 minutes. Contact server administrators through their Discord if the problem persists beyond 24 hours.
Clear FiveM cache by navigating to %localappdata%\FiveM\data and deleting the cache folder. Restart FiveM and reconnect. If that doesn't help, your antivirus might be blocking essential files - add FiveM.exe to exceptions. Some players fixed this by running FiveM as administrator and disabling Discord overlay.
