How to Set FiveM to Start With Pure Mode

Skip the FiveM restart when connecting to protected servers.

Updated June 2026

Some FiveM servers require pure mode on your client. Without it, FiveM may close and restart before you can join — adding extra wait time. Setting pure mode on launch avoids that restart.

Windows Shortcut Method

1

Open FiveM Properties

Find your FiveM shortcut (desktop or Start menu), right-click it, and select Properties.
2

Edit the Target Field

Click the Target field. After FiveM.exe, add a space and type -pure_1.
Example: C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\FiveM\FiveM.exe -pure_1
3

Apply and Launch

Click Apply and OK. Launch FiveM using this shortcut from now on.
What Pure Mode Does
Pure mode restricts modified game files on your client for anti-cheat compatibility. Only use the launch flag if you understand it — most players on roleplay servers benefit from starting with pure mode enabled.
