### **Pure Mode**

For servers, to reduce the frequency of hackers and exploiters, server owners can enable Pure Mode. Pure Mode will restart your FiveM to be a "fresh copy" of FiveM without preloaded game modifications and hacked clients.

It is quite annoying to have to restart in Pure Mode every time you want to play, so here is a quick guide for your FiveM to always start in Pure Mode:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1: Locate">
    Locate your FiveM Launcher or Client and right click on it to "open file location".

    If you cannot find your FiveM Launcher or Client, then press Win+R and type %appdata%

    Find your way to AppData -> Local and look for FiveM.exe
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 2: Modify">
    Right click on FiveM.exe and click Properties.

    In Properties, you will see "Target:" and a box that will list where your FiveM is located. It should end with FiveM.exe

    To automatically start in Pure Mode, press space after FiveM.exe and add -pure\_1
