Without that the ARB WideGui is broken (for me), you can learn more on the widegui thread

Lots of reasons campaign saves can CTD.
Were mods changed during the campaign?
Saved with any of the known 'No no's'
Windows updated can cause it,
And just the bug that sometimes the Game itself screws the pooch.

What are those mod "No no's" and how to avoid them though?

one of the No No's is a savegame next to a unit e.g. a ship neutral/enemy.

the 4-GB Patch. It's not in JSGME, or?

Did you try a previous save?
And where did you get SH3?

Now I think what I did wrong,
saved near ship

I bought SH3 on steam

Some problems with Steam were fixed with this patch.

You'd need a stock version of the Steam SH3.exe to use it.

I bet that's what it was. Like with any game, save often. With SH3, save VERY often.
