Older ESX resources crash due to the changed getSharedObject event? The callback fix in shared.lua gets your scripts running again – with code example.

FiveMESXGetSharedObjectLuaFix

Problem

In ESX Legacy the getSharedObject event was changed. Older resources cause errors.

Solution

Open: resources/[esx]/es_extended/shared/shared.lua

Replace the existing AddEventHandler for esx:getSharedObject with:

AddEventHandler("esx:getSharedObject", function(cb)
    cb(ESX)
end)

Save the file and restart the FiveM server. The error is fixed.
