The issue occurs frequently, and I need to retry multiple times to successfully connect to the server. In some cases, even after successfully connecting, I encounter the "early exit trap" error, causing the game to crash.
This issue has only occurred after a recent FIVEM update, and it severely impacts the gameplay experience for Chinese users.
Expected result
The authentication service should connect without significant delays or timeouts, allowing players to enter the game without frequent retries. Once connected, the game should not crash due to errors such as "early exit trap."
Reproduction steps
- Launch FIVEM client.
- Attempt to connect to any server.
- Observe that the connection times out multiple times (authentication service connection error).
- If connection is established, notice the "early exit trap" error causing a crash.

Additional information
I suspect that the issue may be related to changes in the authentication service infrastructure or server location. Since network connectivity issues between China and foreign servers are common, could there be an update or change to the server locations that might be affecting the connection? A more China-friendly server or improvement in network performance could potentially resolve this issue.
