Common Issues

Performing a Fresh Install

When troubleshooting errors, the initial step is to perform a fresh installation, as it resolves approximately 95% of the issues reported in support tickets. Carefully follow the guide below to ensure a successful fresh install.

Refer to the fresh install guide to access the detailed steps for performing the process.

The UI is not opening

• If the UI fails to open, do a fresh script installation as detailed above.
• If you identify any errors in your F8 or the server console, review the list of common issues below on this page to see if any of them match your situation.
• If the issue persists, it's possible that you may have skipped a step during installation or made a mistake, please double check the install steps.

No such export GetUtils in resource lc_utils

• This error may occur when lc_utils has not been initialized. Please check in your server console for errors in the lc_utils file.
• If lc_utils has been properly loaded without errors, this issue might be due to incorrect resource loading order in your server.cfg. Ensure that lc_utils is loaded before any of its dependencies.

"You dont have the required job to open this menu" error

• Well, its a bit intuitive, you dont have the job. You can disable the job requirement on config if you want.
• You can change the job there too, pay attention, the job there is the job NAME, not job LABEL.
• If you have configured the job and it still not works, you probably put the job label or the wrong name or you're not on duty.

"You've equipped this equipment" appears, but fishing doesn't start.

• Fishing will only begin if you use the fishing rod. For more information, see: How to start fishing.
• Some anticheats, such as PhoenixAC, may interfere with the script's functionality, causing usable items to break. To resolve this, try disabling your anticheat or whitelisting the script in it.
• Currently, anticheats are the primary known cause of this issue, though it may also result from conflicts with other scripts which we haven't found yet.

"Failed to load script @PolyZone/client.lua." or "attempt to index a nil value (global 'PolyZone')"

• Ensure that you have installed the latest version of PolyZone and that it is working correctly.
• Double check the loading order the scripts in your server.cfg. PolyZone must start before the scripts.
• Download link: PolyZone GitHub

"SCRIPT ERROR: Execution of native" in F8 when starting fishing

• If you are having the following error: SCRIPT ERROR: Execution of native 710311adf0e20730 in script host failed: Error executing native 0x710311adf0e20730 at address FiveM_b3095_GTAProcess.exe+A68600. > ActivatePhysics (ActivatePhysics.lua:4)
• Change this config in the script to true Config.disable_fishing_line to disable the fishing line generation.

"No water found at the targeted location" error

• This happens when there is not enough water to fish.
• Try to find a larger body of water or aim at a different spot.

I cannot start any job or my vehicle is not spawning

• Check if you have any anticheat or blacklist blocking the vehicles to spawn.
• Check if you correctly configured your keys and fuel script in the lc_utils script config.

I changed a job in the config, but it did not change on the interface

• Each job's data is saved in the database, so every change you make will only take effect for the next generated contracts, not the current ones. You can clear the "fishing_simulator_available_dives" and "fishing_simulator_available_contracts" tables in your database to remove the contracts using the old config.

It always says that i cannot carry the item

• First, check if you have enough space in your inventory to carry the fish, some are really heavy.
• Check if the item and fish names are correctly configured in the config, and ensure that all items exist in your framework.
• If you use a custom inventory, you must change the functions to check inventory weight and give the items.
• To accomplish that, navigate to lc_utils/custom_scripts/server/inventory.lua, locate the givePlayerWeapon/givePlayerItem functions and update it according to your inventory documentation.
• Each inventory has a different way to give weapons/itens. Please refer to your inventory documentation to learn the specific method for accomplishing this.

I have to hotwire/lockpick the vehicles

• Your keys script has not been configured correctly. You can do that in the lc_utils script config.
• If you dont have your key script pre-built there, it's necessary to set the config to "other" and configure the export in the lc_utils/custom_scripts/client/keys.lua file.

Error parsing script / Failed to load script

• Your server artifacts are likely outdated. Update your server to version 5181 or above.
• This error occurs when uploading the script with Filezilla. You must use something like WinSCP.

You lack the required entitlement to use <resource>

• Try restarting your server and make sure your server key is correct. If you bought the resource on the wrong account, you can transfer it to another account on keymaster.

Failed to verify protected resource

• Files were possibly corrupted during transfer. Ensure hidden files are copied; the .fxap file in a protected resource must be included. Some FTP programs skip these files.
• This error occurs when uploading the script with Filezilla. You must use something like WinSCP.
