Default Getting SH3 to work again

Any one playing this game using Win 8.1?

I can get it to work a few times, and then it stops again. Always crashing on loading the mission, or loaded a save game on a mission. In port it will load just fine.

My system:
Win. 8.1

Using GWX3

Mods used are:

RB_SH4_Effects_for_Sh3_2_03
Ambient Underwater Sounds
Combat Radio Frequency
Internal UBoat Sound Effect
Radio Berlin
The Black & Copper Torpedo Mod
The Elite U-Boat Crew Uniforms
Water Droplet Mod
GWN D-Leer 1
Light House Mod
GWX Late war Sensors Snorkel Antennas
GWX Open Hatch Mod
GWX Enhanced Damage Effect
Wooden Lifeboats mod 1.1
S3H Hsie Patch
More Wounded & Less Dead crew V2 for V16B1
Gwx DFa Flag & Pen 2010

These mods, are not the problem, as it has worked just fine playing them, before it starts to crash again.

I am missing something, to make it work using Win 8.1, sh3.exe is set to:

1. Disable display scaling on high DPI setting
2. Run this program as an admin

An ideas and help to get this game to run right again, would be greatly appreciated.
