Your changes aren’t showing up in game
FiveM caches the loading screen on each client. After an edit, wait about a minute for the edge cache to expire, then have players clear their FiveM cache folder — or run refresh and restart the resource on the server.
You edited the screen, saved, and players still see the old one. This is caching, and there are three layers of it.
#Wait out the edge cache
Hosted screens are cached at the edge for about 60 seconds so they load fast worldwide. Immediately after saving, an existing cached copy may still be served. Give it a minute before assuming something is wrong.
#Clear the FiveM client cache
FiveM keeps its own copy on each player’s machine. Deleting the cache folder in the FiveM application data directory forces a fresh fetch on the next connect. This is the fix that works when nothing else does.
#Refresh and restart on the server
If you are using a local file rather than a hosted URL, the resource itself has to be reloaded before anyone sees a change.
# server console
refresh
restart pityus_yourslug#Confirm you edited the screen that is actually live
If you have several screens, check that the slug in your fxmanifest matches the one you edited. Editing a different screen and wondering why nothing changed is more common than it sounds.
