FAQ

Will the limits of GTA:V be increased?

Yes, alt:V has already increased certain limits compared to the original GTA V. If you find the need to further increase a specific limit, it can be achieved using a resource packed in the RPF format. For detailed instructions on how to increase limits using an RPF resource, please refer to the tutorial available [here](PLACEHOLDER LINK).

Does alt:V work on Linux?

While there are native builds of the alt:V server available for Linux, it's important to note that the alt:V client does not have official support for Linux. However, some users have reported success running alt:V with compatibility layers such as Wine or Proton. If you decide to give it a try, you can attempt to run alt:V by installing both GTA V and alt:V within the same Wine prefix. For further questions, join our Discord and ask in the altV on Linux thread.

Is or will alt:V be open-source?

alt:V consists of a combination of open-source and closed-source components. While the core parts of alt:V are not open-source, certain components are available as open-source and can be found in the official alt:V GitHub repositories. It's important to note that there are ongoing plans to release additional components of alt:V as open-source in the future.

Are there any charges for additional server slots?

No, you do not have to pay for additional server slots. They are completely free of charge. The number of server slots you can have is not restricted, except by the limitations of the hardware on which your server is hosted.

How can I get a token for the masterlist?

info

During the development stage of your server, you don't need a token. Tokens are only required if your server is in the release branch and you want it to be listed on the masterlist.

To obtain a token, you can send a message with the word "token" to the alt:V Master-Bot on Discord (username: Master-Bot#3667). There are two requirements to obtain a token:

  • Wait for a minimum of 30 days, and a token will be automatically generated for you.
  • Alternatively, you can subscribe as a Bronze Patreon to generate a token immediately.

Either fulfilling the 30-day waiting period or becoming a Bronze Patreon subscriber will allow you to obtain a token for the masterlist.
