-You will now be stranded in a apartment complex on Hawick Avenue, so what’s next? Have a chat with the local leaning against the pillar, he might have some useful information. There are similar locals at most job sites around the city that can give you useful information. Now you need to get yourself a ride! You can for example call a taxi (using your phone by pressing {{Key|F2}}) or use one of the many Boris Bikes marked on the map.

 The majority of the players hang around some key areas - for example Legion Square and the gang turfs. Head here to find other players to RP with.
 [[GTA:Los Santos Police Service|'''Mission Row Police Station''']] is worth making a note of as its where you'll have the best chance of finding a police officer to report a crime or just ask a question. [[GTA:Pillbox Hill Medical Center|'''Pillbox Hospital''']] is also worth remembering for when you or a friend require some medical assistance.
-It's also worth creating a Twitter account in the {{Key|F2}} phone so you can interact with other players in-character to ask questions or just chat. You can also ask people for their phone numbers and build up your contacts.

 You have a couple of options starting off. You can try get yourself a car and do some [[GTA:Food Delivery|'''Food Deliveries''']], located next to Vespucci Station.
-Alternatively you can head off to the [[GTA:Mining|'''mineshaft and get mining''']], quite hard labor but pays well.

 If you’re not one for labour-intensive jobs you can buy a [[GTA:Mechanic|'''mechanic''']], [[GTA:Taxi|'''taxi''']] or [[GTA:Commerical Delivery Driver|'''commercial delivery''']] license at the [[GTA:LS City Hall|'''City Hall''']]. With one of those licenses in your wallet you can start earning some real money.

 If you have lost your vehicle (not returned it to a garage) then you can retrieve it at the '''Impound Lot''' marked on the map. It could either have been picked up by your insurance or have been impounded by the Police.
-If you are still unable to locate your vehicle post a single message on [https://discord.com/invite/roleplay '''Discord'''] in #help, stating that you have lost your vehicle on FiveM, with the vehicle plate if possible. If you don't have it, your charachter name will be required.

+=== Falling Through The Ground ===
+This is an issue that occurs often due to a lack of memory on your computer (or at least runs out of memory for what GTA choses to utilise). If you find the floor or other textures become blurry or disappear, and you fall through it often then you should change your Texture Quality setting to Normal (or lower) in your GTA Settings.
+If you are falling through the map you maybe able to prevent yourself falling indefinitely. If you are in a vehicle you should attempt to exit it. While falling press {{Key|E}} in attempt to stop falling and be brought back up to the surface after a few seconds. If you have passengers in your vehicle they should also try to do so the same. If this does not rectify the problem you should disconnect, restart FiveM and reconnect where you should be placed either on the surface or at a location underground where a red circle will allow you to return.
