Right now we (LSH Support Team) have two such unsolved problems "cannot initialize 3D engine" yet.
Both of them only by Windows 10 AND SH3-Steam versions.

1) Never use the original default SH3 installation folder (not by DVD and not by Steam version)!
The “Destination Location/Save Folder“ must be changed/select manually during installation.
A correct “Destination Location/Save Folder“ is: C:\SilentHunterIII\ (example)
2) After installation supermod LSH3 V15 you must set manually some new preferences to the (new!) SH3.EXE!
Select the > SH3.EXE File > click right mousebutton > PREFERENCES > COMPATIBILITY
- Set: run program in compatiblity mode for > WINDOWS 7
- Set: run program as > ADMINISTRATOR
- Set: > DISABLE DESKTOP COMPOSITION
Save this with OK/APPLY and restart your computer now!
3) Check your graphical driver settings (NVIDIA or AMD)
- NVIDIA: SCALLING MOD must be > ASPECT RATIO
- NVIDIA: PERFORME SCALLING must be > GPU
- AMD: Set > MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO
- AMD: Set > ACTIVATE GPU SCALLING
Save these settings and restart your computer now!
4) Now start LSH3 Mod enabler JSGME and activate ONLY the LSH3 V15 FULLVERSION Mod (no other GUI Mods!)
As first test just start SH3 NAVAL ACADEMY and try a quick game to test your SH3 installation and system settings.
If all works fine exit the game and activate your LSH3 WIDESCREEN Mod.
Now start SH3 NAVAL ACADEMY again and try to play in WIDESCREEN performance.
If all works fine u can start a stable career.
Most of this information are written in our L/SH3-INSTALLATION-MANUAL (PDF)

For better understanding this tiresome topic “SH3 Installation Path”:
Any installation of original SH3 by DVD/STEAM/AMAZONE works fine by playing the game in original version.
The problem starts by using master tool “Mod Enabler JSGME” to play SH3 with a supermod (LSH3, CCOM, NYGM, GWX, WAC).
Since generation Windows Vista SH3 tools like JSGME or Commander have not the correct userrights/permissions to work fine.
That’s why following SH3 installation paths (into Windows System folders) don’t work:
C:\ProgramData
C:\Programs
C:\Programs (x86)
So, the simply trick is to install SH3 (and ALL necessary SH3 tools) into a other “Destination Location/Save Folder”!
This means you can choose/set ANY drive or partition and ANY folder name but NOT a Windows System folder (C:\Program…)
Some examples for working fine paths names:
C:\game\
C:\SH3\
C:\SilentHunter3\
C:\SilentHunterIII\
During SH3 DVD installation: Even by choosing only a destination/drive C: (without a folder) works fine because SH3 ALLWAYS set automatically foldername \SilentHunterIII\
If u already have a original SH3 installation here another Tip:
1. Just COPY the whole “Silent Hunter III” original game folder to another place
2. After that be shure there is no empty space character in the whole path/folder name “SilentHunterIII” (not “Silent Hunter III”)
3. After that u can install supermod “Living Silent Hunter III Edition 2015” – it will work fine
