1. Get whitelisted
- Join the Discord.
- Read the Rules and follow the whitelist steps posted there.
- Once you have the Whitelisted role you can connect.
You must be in the Discord while connecting. The queue checks your roles live — leaving the server drops you from the queue.
2. Connect
Open FiveM → Servers → search Bad Times, or press F8 and type the connect command from the Discord #connect channel.
3. The queue
Priority is tied to your Discord roles. Higher tiers skip ahead. Founders, staff and supporters have the highest priority; Whitelisted is the base tier. Priority packages are on the Store.
4. First load
You’ll land in character creation. See Your First Character.
Stuck in a loading screen? Wait for the bar to finish, then press Esc once. If it’s still frozen, restart FiveM — don’t spam connect, it resets your queue slot.
