Exclamation CTD when loading into a patrol.

I have played sh3 for a while now and I have used GWX 3.0 before but for a while now I haven't been able to play because the game crashes to my desktop. when it starts to load a patrol I've uninstalled and reinstall many times and even before I install the mod I make sure. I do at least one patrol so the game loads correctly but when I start a new career and I go to start a patrol for the first time it loads till about the very end. then it would freeze and about 2 minutes later it would CTD. I'm hoping someone can help me so I can get back to my favorite game and favorite mod if it means anything I got the game off steam

Hi Bishie
As mentioned by itadriver you also need the 4gb patch.

Game ctd's when loading a saved game is a classic Windows compatibility problem.
If you are running Windows 10 then you need Windows 7 compatibility mode.
SH3.exe
GWX
SH3Commander
JSGME
Run all these as administrators.
Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date and your settings are correct.
