FiveM resource installation, Lifetime guidance and fresh tools

Install FiveM resources from your dashboard, explore Lifetime server options, and try new tools for server planning, gaming and creative projects.

Set up FiveM resources with less guesswork, understand your Lifetime server options, and explore new tools for gaming and server planning. This release also brings more useful service status information, safer server management and clearer navigation.

Easier server setup and management

  • Check and install FiveM resources from your dashboard. The new FiveM Resource Installer analyzes an uploaded resource ZIP, explains where it belongs and identifies missing requirements. Open the Tools tab in your gameserver dashboard to install it onto your server.
  • Avoid incompatible gameserver actions. Steam Workshop items for another game are now rejected before they can disrupt startup, and games with read-only consoles no longer offer command schedules they cannot run. Restarts also avoid false port-conflict errors caused by the server’s own ports.
  • Manage VPS snapshots and ISOs more reliably. Your snapshot list can fall back to saved information during temporary connection errors. Safer ISO deletion also protects shared installation images when custom ISOs are removed.

Clearer Lifetime choices and account access

  • Explore Lifetime servers before you buy. The new Lifetime guide explains one-time purchases with a ZapX Pass, compares renting and buying over 60 months, and shows available Lifetime slots by Pass tier. It is available in all nine languages, with Lifetime information buttons in the Gameserver, Minecraft and FiveM menus leading to it.
  • Legacy Lifetime dedicated migration gains a guided flow. This release adds wizard and billing support for eligible dedicated servers, alongside preparations for an in-place transfer that retains the server, disks and IP addresses. Availability remains controlled, so this does not open migration to every account.
  • See matching Legacy account guidance before Early Access. Signed-in users whose verified email matches a Legacy account can now see the account hint on the preview access page, without first needing access to the dashboard.

More tools for gaming, planning and creating

  • Generate words, passphrases and server names in one place. The new Random Word Generator offers filters for word games, tap-to-reveal words and curated word banks in nine languages. Passphrases are generated only in your browser, with an entropy estimate shown alongside them.
  • Put availability targets into practical numbers. The new Uptime Calculator converts availability percentages into allowed downtime, or measured downtime into availability. You can also share a link containing your calculation.
  • Try the new FPS Calculator. A dedicated FPS Calculator joins the public gaming tools.
  • Work more comfortably with images. The Discord Avatar Editor offers better cropping and panning when zoomed in, plus clearer notices for oversized or shortened GIFs. Image Compare, Image to Skin and Sprite Sheet Cutter also receive targeted fixes.
  • Give Maker conversations more room. ZapX Maker’s chat uses more of the screen, with project information, build status and build/deploy actions grouped in a floating information card on wide layouts.
  • Find useful reference tools more easily. Updated page information improves discovery of the Forest game maps, temperature and weight converters, and Password Strength Checker across supported languages.

Better status information and browsing

  • Check platform health at a glance. The public status page now shows live states and 90-day uptime for key ZapX services, alongside regional uptime bars. The outages navigation entry also gains a status indicator.
  • Reach product information more directly. Footer product links now prefer informative landing pages over the shop, including ZapX Pass and a single Lifetime Server entry. An MCP Server link, consistent English company and partner slugs, and a reordered hosting column make destinations easier to find.
  • Browse more useful Minecraft guides in your language. Fabric pages arrive in eight additional languages, with Forge pages in English, French and Portuguese and a plugins page in Spanish. Minecraft loader catalog pages also receive clearer informational wording, FAQs and version details.
  • Read more pages in your preferred language. New localized pages include the API overview in Spanish, Element Club’s one-month-free server offer in Italian and Dutch, and the Changes page in Dutch.

Clearer everyday details and more reliable workflows

  • Read consistent product names, prices and dates. VPS terminology is more consistent across localized pages, including corrected Portuguese headings. Money and dates follow the page language, and translation corrections improve wording throughout the interface.
  • Get a useful explanation when an API download URL fails. Public API and MCP file downloads now return a specific 422 response when the source hostname cannot be resolved, rather than a generic failure message.
  • Run Discord bots with fewer interruptions. Temporary connection failures during startup are retried, and backup requests for a bot that no longer exists return a clear not-found result.
  • Keep credit-funded billing processing more reliable. Invoices fully covered by account credit avoid an unnecessary payment lookup that could hit payment-provider limits.
  • Reconsider a cancellation with more flexibility. Cancellation offers provide options to keep or pause a service instead, with a continuation path after its term has ended.
