CEF version

[oracularhades]

Hey everyone,
I've keyword searched this in discussions (so please be nice if someone else has asked this before).
What's with FiveM's Chromium version being 3 years out of date? I created a FiveM build w/ the latest CEF and there's no obvious issues. I haven't been able to test NUI due to authentication ticket limitations I haven't figured out, but everything else works fine.

Chromium being 3 years out of date is really concerning from a security point of view, considering how much arbitrary code gets thrown into CEF by perhaps less-than-competent server admins or malicious actors.

I'm trying to write a PR to move FiveM to the latest CEF/Chromium 🙃

There is a version of RedM/FiveM that is on CEF M140 however it is currently waiting on a fix by AMD for a VRAM memory leak related to OnAcceleratedPaint that is exclusive to AMD (see chromiumembedded/cef#3968). Updating just the cef_build_name.txt and CDN is not enough and you will not be able to compile it, there is major differences between the cfx m103 fork and M140/M141 which makes some key components of nui-core incompatible with modern CEF, FiveM also depends on a custom CEF fork and will not work as intended with the Spotify CDN build.

Thanks, I realised a while ago that FiveM's building wasn't using Visual Studio's building and was instead fxd build. I've got a much more substantial version here: #3682

I'm currently debugging a GPU rendering issue: chromiumembedded/cef#4014 (comment)

I would highly recommend that you stop working on this, as there is already a mostly complete upgrade to CEF M140 (including all original CEF/Chromium patches + extra) that is waiting on the issue I've mentioned above to be resolved.

Could you link me the other PR? I didn't know it was a thing until you mentioned.

It's not a PR and the changes aren't public currently. But you can see the CEF patches here https://github.com/Ehbw/cef/tree/cfx-m140 and if you're interested in experimenting with it I can give you access to the feature branch through discord (username is ehbw)
