I as well, just got back into SH3 this week after a few years of not playing it. I've got GWX all loaded up and a respectable mod list, and I can get it to load fine (after four days of crashes and trial and error... man this game takes a lot of dedication just to get running!) My problem now is with saved games. It doesn't seem to matter where I save or what is or isn't going on around me, the save is always corrupt. I tested recently after making it through the English Channel, just off the continental shelf. I checked hydrophones myself to make sure no other ships were around, then saved and exited to desktop. Reloaded the game and reloaded the save, it get's to black screen with the phrase across the top, then crash back to desktop. So I am currently pairing down my mod list and running more tests to see if it helps at all.
But I'm curious... how do some of you guys with these epic mod lists (fitzcarraldo) run the game without crash problems? Don't think it's my computer, as it's no pushover...
