I noticed the UBI downloader created an executable SH3_g.exe, and this is the one referenced in the crash. However, I am actually starting the game using the "SilentHunterIII with GWX 3.0" shortcut GWX creates (which runs "C:\Games\Silent Hunter 3\sh3.exe")

If I try to run the 4GB patch it won't update, says my existing sh3.exe is an unknown version.

Here is the data on the most recent crash:



Interestingly (or maybe not) SHValidator gives me an unhandled exception when I try to use it to analyze my install:

I have been fighting this all afternoon. Can anyone think of what the issue might be?
Thank you for your detailed post!
You are useing Win7 64bit. As i do. Then it is highly recommended to use the 4GBPatch. Why? On 64bit it does not harm enything. It can help prevent _some_ (not all) SH3-crashes. Do not use the "4gb Patch" that are flattered around the Internet. Use the Original one. See below.
What is this 4GB Patch? It is a Tool to change one Part in the Header of an Executable. *.exe This Part is also called "Large Adress aware". So go to www.ntcore.com (which also have the 4GB-Patch) and load the "CFF-Explorer". Available from inbetween the "Explorer Suite"-Page.

Create an new Mod-drawer called "my4GB-Patch" (or any Name you like), copy the two SH3.exes into (your Sh3.exe and SH3_g.exe) and patch both of these new Copys with CFF Explorer. Then aktivate this new Mod with JSGME.
To patch it, load one, goto "File Header", Characteristics, Click here.
Activate "App can händle >2GB adress space. Ok. Save.
Now you have installed a 4GB-Patch.

Some words about these Crash-info. I think, this would be only useful for the SH3-developers. They have the SH3-Sources and the Debug-files and therfor are able to decrypt this. We all other do not have these things.
Interesting but useless is Exception Code: c0000005. STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION means SH3 trys to use Memory wich is not his own.

Intressting also, that SHValidator looks like C# to me.

For your info: JSGME_260-157 has an option to load a complete Mod-List, without disturbing the user.

Greetings.
