FiveM Game Build 3407 Breaks Custom Blip Names, Reverts to GTA Defaults

A recent update to the FiveM client, specifically Game Build 3407, has introduced a change or potential bug affecting how custom blip names are handled. Developers and server operators are reporting that when creating blips and assigning custom names using standard FiveM/GTA natives, those names are no longer displayed in the map legend. Instead, the system reverts to the default Rockstar-defined labels associated with the blip sprite. This behavior is not observed in earlier builds, such as Game Build 3323.

What Happened

The issue appears to affect both individual blips and grouped blips, making it difficult to use custom map labels reliably. Developers using ESX Legacy or other resource frameworks have noted that the problem persists regardless of the script or resource being used. The change has been reported to make custom blip names effectively unusable, as they are replaced by Rockstar’s default labels.

The problem has been flagged as either a change in internal handling by Rockstar or a specific issue introduced in the FiveM client. No official confirmation has been provided, and the community is left to speculate on the root cause.

Confirmed vs Speculative

What is confirmed is that custom blip names are no longer displayed in the map legend in Game Build 3407. The system instead shows the original Rockstar-defined label for the blip sprite. This behavior is not present in earlier builds, such as Game Build 3323, suggesting a recent change or bug.

What remains speculative is whether this is a result of a Rockstar update to the underlying GTA V engine or a change in how FiveM handles blip labels. The community is also unsure whether this issue will be resolved in a future FiveM update or if developers must find workarounds in the meantime.

Why It Matters For FiveM And GTA RP

Custom blip names are a core part of the FiveM and GTA RP experience. They allow server operators to create immersive, story-driven environments where map markers reflect the server’s unique context—such as “LSPD HQ” or “Ballas Hideout.” When these names are replaced by generic Rockstar labels like “Police Station” or “Gang Hideout,” it breaks immersion and reduces clarity for players.

For GTA RP servers, this issue can disrupt roleplay immersion and make navigation more confusing. It also affects the usability of custom scripts and resource packs that rely on blip names to convey important information to players.

Practical Impact For Developers And Communities

For developers, this issue complicates the creation and maintenance of custom blip systems. Scripts that previously worked may now display incorrect or irrelevant labels, requiring rewrites or workarounds. Resource developers may need to test their scripts against multiple FiveM builds to ensure compatibility.
