How to Fix Texture Loss in FiveM
Missing textures, map holes, and flickering buildings in FiveM can significantly impact gameplay experience. These issues are commonly caused by texture streaming limitations, where your system struggles to load all the required textures in time. This guide provides solutions for both players and server owners to fix these visual glitches.
Understanding Texture Streaming
FiveM servers often include many custom assets beyond the base game. Texture streaming manages how these assets are loaded into memory, but when your settings are too low or your hardware is insufficient, textures may fail to load properly, resulting in missing textures or "holes" in the map.
The most common symptoms of missing textures / ground in FiveM are:
Missing textures
Map holes
Flickering buildings
Invisible roads
Disappearing terrain
Low texture quality
Buildings not loading

Common Causes
- Texture Budget setting is too low for the server's content
- Your graphics card has insufficient VRAM for the server's custom assets
- Game texture streaming is having difficulty loading assets fast enough
- Custom mods causing texture conflicts
Solutions for Players

- 1Open the FiveM pause menu
- 2Go to Settings → Graphics Settings
- 3Find the Enhanced Texture Budget slider
- 4Increase this setting as high as your system will support
- 5Apply the changes
- 6Restart FiveM to test if the texture issues are resolved
- Adjust other graphics settings:
- 1Lower your resolution to reduce VRAM usage
- 2Decrease Texture Quality in graphics settings
- 3Lower Shader Quality if you're still experiencing issues
- 4Reduce Extended Distance Scaling to improve performance
Common Causes for Server Owners
- Too many unoptimized assets loaded at once, exceeding client VRAM capacity
- Conflicting resources that modify the same textures or map areas
- Poorly optimized custom map mods with broken LOD or streaming properties
Solutions for Server Owners
- Audit and optimize custom resources:
- 1Review all custom map mods for proper LOD configuration
- 2Ensure custom textures are properly compressed and optimized
- 3Check for conflicting resources that modify the same map areas
- 4Use tools like txAdmin's Resource Monitor to identify resource impact
