# How to Set FiveM to Start With Pure Mode Enabled
Apollo Networks requires your FiveM client to have pure mode enabled. This can be frustrating as every time you connect to Apollo Networks your FiveM client needs to close and restart to enable 'pure mode'. This guide will show you how to set your FiveM client to start in pure mode when you launch the application, reducing the need for FiveM to restart itself before connecting to our server which ultimately saves you time.
***
1. Find the FiveM application icon and right click on it\
2. Click **Properties**\
3. Click on the **Target** text field\
4. After \FiveM.exe enter a space then type **`-pure_1`**\
\
Here is an example of what the Target field might look like: `C:\Users\Lewis\AppData\Local\FiveM\FiveM.exe -pure_1`
5. Click **Apply** and **Ok**
Now whenever you open FiveM it will automatically start in pure mode level 1 removing the need for FiveM to restart itself when you load into Apollo.
