How to Optimize Your FiveM Server Performance

Enable OneSync

OneSync replaces the default peer-to-peer sync with server-authoritative entity synchronization. It's required by both ESX and QBCore, and increases the player cap from 32 to 2048.

In server.cfg (via Files in the XGamingServer Panel):

set onesync on

OneSync Infinity is the current recommended standard.

Performance Convars

Add these to server.cfg:

# Entity lockdown — prevents clients from creating unauthorized entities
sv_entityLockdown strict

# Script hook control
sv_scriptHookAllowed 0

# Duplicate player checking
sv_duplicatePlayers true

Reduce Resource Load

1. Remove unused resources — every ensure in server.cfg loads a resource. Remove what you don't use
2. Check resource monitor — in txAdmin, view the Resources tab to see CPU/memory per resource
3. Avoid heavy client-side scripts — large MLOs, high-poly vehicles, and complex UI scripts increase load times
4. Limit streaming assets — each addon vehicle/MLO increases client download time and memory usage

Server Artifacts

Keep your server artifacts (FXServer build) up to date. Newer builds include performance improvements and bug fixes. Update via Reinstall Server on the Dashboard.
