Pure Mode - a.k.a 'The server you are joining does not allow modified game files.'
We have re-enabled pure mode on server #2 with the intention to stop cheaters from modifying their game files to boost their damage, increase their fire rate, shoot through walls, and more unfair advantages that they are abusing it for. We do not intend to enable it on server #1 unless Cfx.re makes the necessary changes to support a wider range of legitimate mods that pure mode will impact!
What is "pure mode", and what does it do?
Pure mode is an optional feature that servers can enable to block modified game files from being loaded into someone's FiveM session.
As partially mentioned above, the most common way to cheat nowadays is by modifying relevant files to unload props and models, change weapon properties, and material data to be able to shoot through surfaces that you otherwise wouldn't be able to shoot through.
Pure mode is made to combat this type of cheating by validating files and ensuring only the vanilla content is being used.
Why are my files getting blocked when they are legitimate?
Due to the nature of pure mode, legitimate files (such as those related to QuantV) can and will end up being blocked by this, but Cfx.re has announced that this will be changing once they move to a PKI to allow client mod authors to 'sign' their mods and allow them to be used depending on the level of pure mode used by servers.
We don't intend to use the most aggressive level of pure mode, and we likely never will - the current level of pure mode is the 'lightest' level that allows common audio files and known graphic mods (such as Natural Vision Evolved, or "NVE") to be used.
Why not make your own anti-cheat detections for damage boosting and fire rate?
The reality is that anti-cheats that work this way are often a detriment to your FPS, especially in highly populated servers such as ours.
We've tried going down this route ourselves and not only is it difficult to maintain, but it is also extremely inefficient and inaccurate.
Pure mode is intended to stop these types of file edits, and we fully support it.
If no one used pure mode because it blocked their favourite (and legitimate) client mods, then the feature will gain no traction and will take even longer to get those mods validated for it.
How do I get my mod validated for pure mode so I can use it on servers that enforce it?
In the June 2022 community update post, Cfx.re encouraged people to open bug reports for any issues that they may have with it.
You can see this post here to read up on it: https://forum.cfx.re/t/cfx-re-community-update-june-2022-edition/4866955
You can open a bug report here, which is the same link given in the above post: https://forum.cfx.re/c/general-discussion/bug-reports/28
Before opening a bug report on the Cfx.re forums, make sure that you state which mod is being blocked, why you are using it, as well as the files for it so it can be looked into.
We are only telling you what to do based on what was said in the above community post. This is not a feature of RSM, so opening a bug report here will be pointless, nor can we 'whitelist' your mod for you!
