New client: an allowlist padlock, a report button and a cleaner server list
Two client updates in one overview: goodbye coloured server titles, hello padlock for allowlisted servers, and upvotes tucked behind a tooltip.
Cfx.re is updating the FiveM and RedM clients in waves this year. Here are the two server-list updates side by side.
February: a cleaner design
- A streamlined, more consistent design.
- Coloured server titles are gone: calmer and more accessible.
- A Report button on individual server pages.
- New character limits:
sv_projectNamefrom 50 to 40,sv_hostnamefrom unlimited to 120,sv_projectDescfrom 125 to 250.
May: access requirements
Servers with an allowlist (an application, joining a Discord, and so on) now get a padlock in the server list, and you can explain on the details page how players get in. You can set this in txAdmin or with two convars:
# Set via txAdmin (Configure Server) or as convars:
# sv_appearAllowlisted → shows the padlock in the server list
# sv_allowlistInstructions → instructions on your server details page,
# e.g. "Apply through our Discord"
It's up to the server owner to say honestly whether there's an allowlist. The total number of upvotes has also been removed from the list; you now only see it in a tooltip on the new upvote icon.
