Last year I tried multiple times to play SH3 with GWX3 but it would crash a lot during savegame loading, and mid-game career, and loading single missions.
After some research I noticed that I needed the 4GB mod, but I also apparently need some game updates for it, and now I'm very disoriented on what to do, because there's a lot.
I have the Ubisoft version of the game, not the steam one.
If someone was so kind to actually tell me step by step what to do I will appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
I had the problem of crashing savegames, 4gb patch didn't seem to make any difference, what fixed it for me was running SH3.exe in compatability mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2), Windows Vista works too.

Run it in compatibility mode by right clicking on SH3.exe, go into properties and click the "compatibility" tab, here there is a drop box where you can select the version of windows to run it in compatability mode with.

I haven't had a loading save crash since.
