Introduction
Running a FiveM server? Keeping it updated is not optional. It’s essential if you want your server to stay secure, bug-free, and compatible with new scripts and features.
In this simple step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to update your FiveM server to the latest artifact version—even if you’re a beginner. No tech headaches. Just clean, smooth updates.
Why Update Your FiveM Artifact Version?

Step-by-Step: How to Update FiveM
Let’s break it down:
1. Log In to Your Server Control Panel
Head to your Revive Hosting dashboard and log into your game panel. If you’re using a different host, go to their control panel instead.

2. Stop Your Server Temporarily
Before making any changes, stop your server to avoid conflicts or file issues.
3. Enable Auto-Updates (Optional but Recommended)
In your control panel:
- Go to “Startup Settings” or “Configuration Files”.
- Look for the option like “Server Update” or “Auto Update”.
- Enable it if it’s not already on.
This tells the server to allow manual or automated updates.
4. Choose Your Artifact Version
Now it’s time to choose which FiveM version you want to install:
- To use the latest version: enter latest
- To use a specific version:
- Visit the official FiveM artifacts page: https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem
- Copy the desired version number (e.g., 6780)
- Paste it in the FIVEM_VERSION field in your control panel
- Visit the official FiveM artifacts page: https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem
5. Save and Apply Changes
Once your version is set:
- Click “Save” in the control panel
- Reload the page to confirm the settings are saved
6. Start Your Server
Head back to the Console or Overview page and hit Start.
That’s it! Your server will now load the updated artifact version.
