This crash, client.dll @ 0x00281xxx, has received attention on MTA discord's #support channel yesterday, and I will make a summary of the situation for you.

A handful of users are suffering this crash which we cannot understand from any recent change. In fact, even downgrading MTA to older builds from months ago won't resolve it, even though some others assumed the onset was related to yesterday's MTA updates.

We believe it's related to something Microsoft recently did, with (hidden, silent) Windows updates for all their OSes. It seems it started happening (or suddenly increasing) on builds that were previously unaffected. Even though the amount of impacted MTA users is low, we understand the severity of this issue (because it totally prevents you from running MTA at all) which is why we're actively investigating it. Unfortunately, at this moment we cannot offer you a solution, although some others managed to solve it by following a few steps (of which we still don't know how many are relevant or why; just try them all):

- Uninstall MTA completely, and move your GTA installation to another directory. Now re-install MTA (download: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/?mtasa-1.5-rc-latest), into another directory than previously as well. Try running now.

If this doesn't resolve it, then for now you're out of luck; we will inform you once we can offer you a solution. @SantV

What you can try is , in settings go to video and then on Fullscreen mode try to set borderless window instead of standard, for many people this setup works.

Why it actually works , no idea..

Similarly, mine fixed after rebooting my PC, I guess that would help others as well.

any news regarding this? I am facing the same issue since yesterday. Reinstalled MTA 5 times, redownloaded my GTA:Sa, moved it to another folder, reinstalled directx and runtime.

fix your display setting to small size
