Anything in the console that might give a clue?

3

Console is empty, nothing shows up in it. The only place anything shows up is in the amp logs.

4

Can you try installing all the C++ runtimes? Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One (Apr 2022) Download | TechPowerUp

5

So I installed all C++ runtimes and it is still stopping with error code 1. Attached is the newest log from the Datastore.

Can you open the FXServer.exe file once outside of AMP and see if it prompts to install anything else?

So opening FXServer.exe actually shined a ton more light on what the issue actually was.

I ran through the setup using txadmin (the default bundled admin interface) and turns out it was an issue with the key all along (for some reason AMP would not give this info)

Upon further research on the FiveM keymaster site, turns out the key had somehow gotten deactivated. Upon creating a new key and inputting it into both the AMP interface as well as the txadmin interface everything is working as it should now.
