Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to fix them.
Button shows a grey icon or yellow triangle
The plugin may not have installed correctly or the version is outdated. Uninstall FXCommands from the Stream Deck app, then reinstall the latest version from GitHub Releases. Make sure you're running Stream Deck 6.9 or later.
Commands aren't executing in-game
FiveM or RedM must be running and connected to a server. FXCommands sends commands to localhost:29200, which is only available when the game is active. If the button flashes a yellow alert when pressed, it means the game console isn't reachable.
Command requires multiple presses to work
Check your Advanced Settings and make sure you only have 1 state configured. If you have multiple stages, the button cycles through them on each press, so only every Nth press runs the same command.
"me" commands or emotes don't work
Command syntax varies between servers. Open the FiveM console (F8) and try the command directly to confirm it works on your server. Some servers require a / prefix or have custom command handlers.
Plugin stopped working after a Stream Deck update
Download and reinstall the latest .streamDeckPlugin from GitHub Releases. Double-click to install. Your existing button settings and commands will be preserved.
Settings or commands are missing after updating
The Elgato Marketplace version may be behind the latest release. Install directly from GitHub Releases to get the most recent version with full settings compatibility.
Delayed commands aren't working
Make sure you're using the correct syntax: ;; for a 500ms delay, or {NNNms} for a custom delay (e.g. {2000ms}). The single ; separator chains commands without delay. Delays require v2.0.4 or later.
Can I use this with RedM?
Yes. FXCommands works with both FiveM and RedM. Both games use the same console protocol on localhost:29200.
