Question: What can I do when I encounter the following error?
- GTA5_b[build number].exe!_runReaderThreadTick
Answer: The FiveM error “_runReaderThreadTick” (also known as “low-apart-failed,” “ink-dakota-mountain,” and “nevada-orange-lemon”) occurs due to a disk read error on the client. Verifying your GTAV game files will fix most issues.
Disk read errors such as these can be caused by a few things:
- A recent system freeze/hang corrupting files on the system storage
- An external (or internal) HDD/SSD disconnecting
- A partial/incomplete game install
- FiveM requires Grand Theft Auto V to be downloaded fully to run
Verifying your GTAV game files
To verify your game files, use the following steps:
- Sign in to the Rockstar Games Launcher
- Select Settings
- Select Grand Theft Auto V from the list under My installed games on the left
- Select Verify Integrity under Verify game file integrity from the options on the right
Upon completion, a pop-up message will appear above the Windows system tray stating that your game is verified and ready to play.
