Connecting to Love Story Roleplay takes only a few minutes once you have the right software installed. FiveM runs alongside your existing copy of GTA V and does not modify your original game files, so you can play both without any conflict. Follow the steps below to go from a fresh install all the way to your first login.

​
System Requirements

Before you start downloading anything, make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements to run GTA V and FiveM smoothly.

​
Connection Steps

1

Download and install FiveM

Go to fivem.net and click Download Client. Run the installer once the download is complete. FiveM will automatically detect your GTA V installation and set itself up — no manual configuration is needed.
Keep FiveM up to date by letting it auto-update each time you launch it. Running an outdated client can prevent you from connecting to servers that have moved to a newer FiveM version.

Install GTA V (required, sold separately)

FiveM requires a legitimate, fully updated copy of Grand Theft Auto V. You can purchase it from any of the following platforms:Make sure GTA V has finished its initial download and has launched at least once before opening FiveM.

Find Love Story Roleplay in the server browser

Launch FiveM and wait for the main menu to load. You have two ways to connect:Option A — Server Browser:
  1. Click Play in the top navigation bar.
  2. Type Love Story Roleplay into the search bar.
  3. Click the server name in the results list, then click Connect.
Option B — Direct Connect:
  1. Press F8 to open the FiveM console (or click the console icon in the menu).
  2. Type connect <server-ip> and press Enter — you can find the current direct-connect IP pinned in the #server-info channel of our Discord.

Wait for resources to download

On your very first connection, FiveM needs to download all of the server’s custom assets — scripts, vehicles, clothing, and more. This initial download can take 5 – 20 minutes depending on your internet speed. Subsequent logins are much faster because resources are cached on your PC.
Do not close FiveM or alt-tab away during the download phase, as interrupted downloads can cause corrupted resource files that require you to clear your cache and start again.

Create your character

Once the loading screen clears, you will be placed into the character creation screen. Here you can set your character’s name, customise their appearance, and respond to a brief backstory prompt to help you hit the ground running with a roleplay foundation. Head to the First Steps guide to continue from here.
Love Story Roleplay is whitelisted. Even after following every step above, the server will only allow you in if your application has been approved. If you see a message saying your connection was rejected, check your application status in the #whitelist-status channel on our Discord before trying again.
