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.

=== Hearing Lots of Players Talking ===
All of the in-game voice chat is proximity based, or transmitted via a radio or on a phone call. Therefore, you should not hear the whole server as if they are standing next to you - but sometimes it can happen. There is a known issue with the Arctis SteelSeries headsets which if you have one, is likely the most common cause to this bug. See below.
If you do not have the headset then it is recommended you try turning Voice Chat off and back on again. To do this go to ESC > Settings > Voice Chat > Voice Chat Enabled - and toggle this off and back on after 20-30 seconds.
====== <u>Arctis SteelSeries Headset Users</u> ======
The SteelSeries software creates two output audio devices - 'Game' and 'Chat. GTA will pick one to use for the audio output. Quite often it will pick the 'Chat' one which is what causes the problem with everyone being heard, as this doesn't use a stereo channel (that is needed for the 3D positional sound).
To fix this press ESC > Settings > Voice Chat > Output Device > Change to the 'Game' SteelSeries device. You may have to toggle Voice Chat off and back on again for the change to take effect.
