# FiveM Needs To Restart

## **Solution:**

1. Right-click on the FiveM launcher
2. Press `Open file location`
3. Make a new shortcut from the `Fivem.exe` and drag it to your desktop
4. Right click the new shortcut and select `Properties`
5. Press `Shortcut` and locate the `Target` box At the **END** of the target box, put a **space** then type -pure\_*X* -b*YYYY*
6. Find the server build and what pure mode it runs on. (This should say in the restart message when you try to join the server)
7. Replace the *X* with the pure mode the you found earlier (ex. 0, 1, 2) and *YYYY* with the server build (ex. 3095, 2699, 2944) Example: "C:\Users\Axel\AppData\Local\FiveM\FiveM.exe -pure\_1 -b2699"(do not copy paste this)
