How to Join — Gatewood RP

Before you start

What you need

Legit copy of GTA V FiveM installed Working microphone 18 or older Discord account

Gatewood is whitelisted. You verify in Discord and submit a City Access application before you can connect. It exists to keep the city serious — read the rulebook before you apply, because the application asks about it.

Connect to Gatewood

Once you're whitelisted, any of these gets you into the city.

Open in FiveM Discord

You can also search Gatewood in the FiveM server list and favourite us.

Step by step

From download to first scene

Own GTA V

A legitimate copy on Steam, Rockstar or Epic. Launch it once and reach the story mode menu so the game is fully installed and updated.

Install FiveM

Download it from fivem.net and let the first-run update finish. It installs alongside GTA V — it does not modify your game files.

Link your accounts

Open FiveM and sign in with your CFX account, then link Discord in the FiveM settings. We use that link to match you to your whitelist.

Verify in our Discord

Accept the rules in the verify channel. That unlocks the rest of the server and gets you the Citizen role.

Get whitelisted

Submit the City Access application. Most decisions land inside 48 hours and you get a DM the moment yours is made — keep your DMs open.

Set push-to-talk

In FiveM's settings, bind a push-to-talk key before your first scene. A working microphone is required in the city.

Connect

Use the button below, search Gatewood in the FiveM server list, or paste the direct connect address into the F8 console.

Troubleshooting

If something goes wrong

I can't connect / stuck on loading

Check the server-status channel in Discord first — it updates automatically. If it says online, clear your FiveM cache (FiveM → Settings → Clear cache) and try again. Still stuck? Open a support ticket with a screenshot of the error.

It says I'm not whitelisted

Either your application hasn't been approved yet, or the Discord account you linked to FiveM isn't the one you applied with. Run /link me in Discord while you're in the queue and the bot will match you to your live player entry.

I'm stuck in a queue

The city fills up most evenings. Donators, creators and staff get priority slots. Leave FiveM open — the queue holds your place and connects you automatically.

Nobody can hear me

Check the microphone selected in FiveM's voice settings matches the one Windows is using, and confirm your push-to-talk key isn't bound to something else. Voice is proximity-based — if nobody is near you, nobody hears you.

Ready when you are

Verify in Discord and put your application in — the city is on the other side of it.
