Fivem Hours Not Counting

[eren]

It counts hours while in the main menu in FiveM. But It not counts hours while in the server in FiveM. What is the reason of this?

I assume although cannot confirm because i play GTAV via Rockstar's Launcher.

Note: I do not play FiveM.

Steam tracks GTAV playtime due to Rockstar's servers.

FiveM is a mod and played on a private server.

You need to ask that on FiveM discord or forums to get more precise answer, but it's got to do with how it uses Source SDK.

I'm pretty sure Rockstar servers only plays a role when unlocking achievements.

GTAV is run via Rockstar's servers.

I mean yes, but Steam starts to track hours when you start their launcher. I have no idea if that changed with updates but at least that's how it used to be. Steam doesn't need to be connected with Rockstar's servers just to track hours.

I asked this question on FiveM discord or forums and they said that the problem was related to steam and there was no such thing before.

I replied to your post and corrected it.

GTAV is run via "Rockstar's servers".

It is not run via Steam's servers.

Well I don't see the corrected part apart from the one you said GTAV uses R*'s infrastructure. that's not related to issue OP's having and not even relevant to Steam's playhour tracking at all.

Uh, but you see, Steam actually syncs its achievement with R* launcher, I automatically unlocked all achievements I previously had with R* version of the game when I repurchased GTAV on Steam.

The part were you posted and i highlight in your quote with " ".

Which is incorrect because GTAV is played via Rockstar's servers even the Steam version.

What did achievements have to do with the OP's issue?

@ Elefante

From what i can gather FiveM's hours are tracked via ‘Source SDK Base 2007’.

What I'm trying to say is whether it runs via Rockstar's server or not is not relevant in this case. from my experiences Steam only takes achievement-related data from R*, not the playtime or any other stats. Steam tracks GTAV playtime because it's a registered app on Steam itself, not because it's linked to Rockstar's servers. FiveM's hours should be tracked as well, since it uses Source SDK, which is also registered in Valve's app database. if you take a look at OP's profile you can clearly see 16 something hours logged under the app name of Source SDK 2007. that's from FiveM(possibly combined with playtime of whatever sourcemods OP previously played).

It doesn't get any data from Rockstar regarding playtime etc (excluding achievements due to account linking) but GTAV does run on Rockstar's servers including the Steam version after you claimed it's only role was achievements.

I know how it works but once you click play it connects to Rockstar's servers to play the game online.

Read the post above yours to the OP regarding FiveM.

Since OP reported that hours were indeed tracking as it's supposed to while he's in main menu, I naturally assumed he's already aware of that information.

But that's not what you originally claimed.

I was referring to been different servers after all i don't play FiveM and only play GTAV via Rockstar's own launcher.

No problem. Easy to get wires crossed and end up having a different conversation.
