MTA:SA fix

MTA crashes, freezes or closes unexpectedly

Update MTA first, then choose the steps that match when MTA crashes. A crash address on its own does not show the cause.

Steps

  1. Update MTA and try again

    Install the current official MTA release, then do the same thing that made it fail.

  2. Switch to Borderless window

    Only if it crashes when you switch away from the game or back to it.

    In MTA, go to Settings → Advanced → Fullscreen mode → Borderless window. Remember the mode you had before, so you can set it back.

  3. Test with a clean GTA

    Only if your GTA installation has mods of your own in it, such as a single player mod pack.

    Back up your modded setup, then use a clean game installation from your trusted game source.

  4. Still crashing: keep the full crash message

    Keep a copy of the full crash window, and note what you do that sets it off. Search for any error it names here, or write a support report. An exception code such as 0xC0000005 does not point to one cause.

Worth knowing

No single fix is known to work for a crash that shows no clear error.

A crash address alone does not tell you that a driver, your RAM or a mod is at fault.

Still not fixed? Copy the whole message, not only the code, and check your log in the Fix tool. It is read on your own computer.
