📋 Step 2: Copy the Version Identifier

On the Artifacts Site

  1. Find the desired version in the list
  2. Right-click on the download icon (📥) next to the version
  3. Click on "Copy link address"

Extracting the Identifier

The copied link looks like:

https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/7290-a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0/fx.tar.xz

Extract only the part between master/ and /fx.tar.xz:

7290-a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0

💡 This complete string (number + hash) is what you need to copy.

Quick Method

  1. Paste the link in a text editor (Notepad)
  2. Delete https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/
  3. Delete /fx.tar.xz
  4. Keep only the identifier in the middle

Example:

  • Link: https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/7290-abc123def456.../fx.tar.xz
  • Identifier: 7290-abc123def456...

⚙️ Step 3: Modify the Version in OuiPanel

Accessing the Configuration

  1. Log in to OuiPanel
  2. Select your FiveM server
  3. Stop your server if not already done
  4. In the side menu, click on Configuration

Image

Modify the FiveM Version

  1. In the Configuration page, find the "FIVEM VERSION" field (or "Version FiveM")

Image

  1. Delete the current content
  2. Paste the previously copied version identifier

Examples of valid values:

7290-a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0

23683-1062db8a7b8e0c03f7c159be4cbfa181f49b2cc1
  1. Press Enter to save

Special Values

You can also use these special values:

Value Description
latest Latest available version (automatic)
recommended Version recommended by Cfx.re

⚠️ Caution: latest may install a version with bugs. Prefer a tested specific version.

🔄 Step 4: Reinstall the Server

To apply the change, you need to reinstall the artifact files.

Accessing the Settings

  1. In the side menu, click on Settings

Reinstalling the Server

  1. Find the "Reinstall the server" button Image
  1. Click on it
  2. Confirm the reinstallation

⚠️ Important: Only the alpine folder (basic FiveM files) will be deleted and replaced. Your resources, configurations, and databases will NOT be affected.

Wait for the reinstallation

Reinstallation usually takes 1 to 2 minutes:

[OuiPanel] Downloading the artifact...
[OuiPanel] Extracting files...
[OuiPanel] Reinstallation completed!

✅ Step 5: Check the New Version

Start the server

  1. Go back to Console
  2. Click on Start

Check in the console

Upon startup, the artifact version is displayed in the logs:

[    14070] citizen:server:main: Starting FiveM server version XXXXX

Check in-game

  1. Connect to your FiveM server
  2. Open the console (press F8)
  3. The version is displayed at the top

🔧 Troubleshooting

The server does not start after the change

❌ Cause ✅ Solution
Incorrect identifier Check the format (complete number-hash)
Incompatible version Try another version (newer or older)
Reinstallation not performed Click on "Reinstall the server"

Startup errors

❌ Error ✅ Solution
Could not find resource Your resources may be incompatible with this version
Failed to load Downgrade to an older version
Crash on startup Use a version without known bugs

Incompatible resources

Some resources require a minimum artifact version.

Solution:

  1. Check the resource documentation
  2. Update to the required version
  3. Or update the resource itself

Revert to the previous version

If the new version causes issues:

  1. Note the identifier of your old version (if you have it)
  2. Or choose a stable version on https://artifacts.jgscripts.com/
  3. Repeat steps 2 to 5 with the old version

💡 Best Practices

Before changing version

  • ✅ Backup your important files (server.cfg, custom resources)
  • ✅ Note down your current version just in case
  • ✅ Check that the new version has no known bugs
  • ✅ Test on a test server if possible

Version choice

  • ✅ Prioritize recommended and stable versions
  • ✅ Avoid very recent versions (< 1 week)
  • ✅ Regularly check the FiveM changelogs
  • ✅ Use https://artifacts.jgscripts.com/ for recommendations

Maintenance

  • ✅ Update regularly (at least once a month)
  • ✅ Follow Cfx.re announcements for important updates
  • ✅ Test new versions outside peak hours
