:mascot:

what do you have inside plugins folder?

Plugins for LSPDFR. I’ve had them there forever.

No, inside fivem\fivem.app\plugins.

Nothing new there.

I did find a full dump that Windows did…and upon debugging, find the error:

This has gone far beyond what I know…

This is really odd. Curl_verify_windows_version doesn’t seem to call fopen anywhere at all. :confused:

Would it be possible to compress and upload the .dmp file WER created somewhere?

@Nathan_C, also in the Discord support channel uploaded his log which can be downloaded from the following link below. We tried Verifying his game using steam, clearing out any ASI plugins in his FiveM directory.

Does this user for some reason happen to have an environment variable called SSLKEYLOGFILE set?

Funny story…I did. It was left over from when I was doing some stuff with Wireshark ages ago and it never affected FiveM.

I guess that’s what was the culprit. Now I have a new problem…

Just sits there.

All fixed. Needed to reboot after removing the problem environment variable.
