Now go back to [**🔐 Step 3: Authorize Discord (First Time Only)**](https://app.gitbook.com/o/yCkXBIB5Jh7Jbjb97SjH/s/772BYIFm6oRhvM4ZNYCR/~/edit/~/changes/34/discord-x-fivem-linking#step-3-authorize-discord-first-time-only)

#### 🧨 Full Reinstall (Last Resort)

If none of the above steps work:

3. Uninstall **GTA V**
4. Restart your PC
5. Reinstall in this order:
   1. GTA V
   2. Discord
