FiveM: How to Install a Custom Loading Screen

Preparation

To install your own loading screen, you first need a suitable resource. You can find a wide selection on the official Cfx.re website. Download the resource and extract it on your PC.

Installation

The loading screen installation is done via FTP. Connect to your game server via FTP. If you’re not familiar with FTP yet, feel free to check out our FTP Access guide.

Once connected via FTP, navigate to the resource folder. Depending on your installed framework, you will find the resource folder under the following structure: /gXXXXXX/fivem/YOUR_FRAMEWORK/resources

Upload the folder of your resource, which you previously extracted on your PC, to this location.

After the loading screen resource has been successfully uploaded, it still needs to be added to the server configuration file server.cfg. Log in to the txAdmin interface and open the CFG editor.

Then add your resource with the command start resourcename. In our example, this would be start loadingscreen. Save the changes and restart the server.

Completion

If you followed all the steps, you should see your new loading screen after the next server restart. If you have any questions or issues, our support team is available daily to assist you! 🙂
