## Context
You manage a **FiveM server** at Winheberg and want to **update the artifacts** (also called "builds" or "FXServer")? Whether it's to get the latest features, fix a bug, or meet the requirements of a new resource, updating artifacts takes just a few clicks from your Winheberg gaming panel.
This guide explains how to change your artifact version cleanly and how to **pick the right version** to avoid nasty surprises.
## Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have the following.
- An active **FiveM server** on your Winheberg gaming panel
- A **recent backup** of your server (recommended in case something goes wrong after the update)
> [!WARNING]
> An artifact update **automatically stops and then restarts your server**. Warn your players if your server is active, and avoid updating during a busy session.
## Choosing the right artifact version
Before clicking any download button, **take a few minutes to pick the right version**. Not all versions are equal, and some contain known bugs that can break your server.
### ❌ Don't just grab the latest version by default
This is the classic mistake, seeing the most recent version at the top of the list and clicking it without thinking. **Bad idea**. The very latest versions are often unstable and can introduce regressions or bugs that haven't hit other servers yet.
### ✅ Check each version's status on jgscripts
The site [artifacts.jgscripts.com](https://artifacts.jgscripts.com/) is an **essential resource** for FiveM server admins. For **each artifact version**, it tracks the following.
- **Known bugs** on that version
- **Features added**
- Whether the version is marked as **stable** or **problematic**
- Community feedback
> [!TIP]
> Our recommendation, before every update, go to [artifacts.jgscripts.com](https://artifacts.jgscripts.com/), find a recent version **with no major reported bug**, and use that one. It's much safer than blindly grabbing the latest.
### Why not the official "RECOMMENDED" version?
FiveM highlights a **RECOMMENDED** version (in green in the panel). It's a good baseline, but it's often several weeks behind on new features. If you need a recent feature, you'll have to go beyond it, and that's where jgscripts becomes useful to validate your choice.
## 1. Access the Artifacts section
1. Log in to your **Winheberg gaming panel**
2. Select your **FiveM server**
3. In the left sidebar menu, find the **CONFIGURATION** section
4. Click **Artifacts**
## 2. Choose and download the new version
The **Artifacts** page shows the list of all available versions, from the most recent (at the top) to the oldest (at the bottom). The currently installed version is usually marked with a green **R** (RECOMMENDED) or another visual indicator.
1. Find the version you want to install (after checking [artifacts.jgscripts.com](https://artifacts.jgscripts.com/))
2. Click the **download icon** next to the version number
## 3. Wait for the installation to finish
Once you've clicked the download button, **the panel automatically takes over**.
- Your FiveM server is **stopped** automatically
- The new artifact version is **downloaded and installed**
- An **installation message** appears in the panel console to track progress
- Your server is **restarted** automatically with the new version
> [!NOTE]
> No need to manually restart your server. The panel handles everything from start to finish, you just need to wait for the installation to complete.
## 4. Check the update
Once the server has restarted, check that everything is working correctly.
- Check the panel's **console** for any startup errors
- Connect to the server in-game and **test the main features** of your server (map loading, database connection, essential scripts)
- Check that all your resources load correctly (`txAdmin` or FiveM logs)
If everything works, your server is now running on the new artifact version 🎉
## What if the new version breaks your server?
This can happen, especially if the version has a bug that hadn't been reported on jgscripts at the time of your update. Don't panic, **you can roll back** easily.
1. Go back to the panel's **Artifacts** section
2. Find the **previous version** you were using before the update
3. Click its download icon
4. The panel will automatically switch back to that version
> [!TIP]
> Before every update, **note down the number of the currently installed version** somewhere. That way, if something goes wrong, you know exactly which version to roll back to.
## If you run into trouble
Here are the most common errors after an artifact update.
### ❌ The server doesn't restart after installation
Check the panel's **console**. You'll see the exact error there. The most common causes are the following.
- A server resource **incompatible** with the new artifact version
- A dependency (oxmysql, ESX, QBCore) that also needs updating
- A `server.cfg` syntax that's changed or outdated in this new version
### ❌ Script errors after the update
Some FiveM native functions can change between versions. If your scripts stop working, check **artifacts.jgscripts.com** to see if the new version introduced major changes (deprecations, removals). You may need to update your resources.
### ❌ The download stays stuck
If the download isn't progressing anymore, wait a few minutes. If nothing happens after 10 minutes, **reload the panel page** and check your server's status. If the issue persists, contact our support.
### ❌ My players get connection errors
An artifact update can create a **version mismatch** between your server and players' FiveM clients. Ask them to **update their FiveM client** (client-side FXServer) and relaunch their game.
## Best practices
A few recommendations for managing your artifact updates smoothly.
- **Always check [artifacts.jgscripts.com](https://artifacts.jgscripts.com/)** before updating to avoid buggy versions
- **Don't update during an active gaming session**, do it during off-peak hours
- **Note the current version** before updating, so you can roll back easily
- **Make a backup** of your server (files and database) before a major update
- **Test your resources** after the update, especially frameworks (ESX, QBCore, vRP) that can be affected
