I never finished SH3 due to save game loading crashes. I started once again from scratch - fresh install with no patch updates - and only removed SF.

I could only make progress if I saved back at base, and only after a mission. All in-mission saves would crash on loading. After reading your post I just turned all the sound options to 0Db and have now finished 3 missions with no crashes at all. Mid mission, with or without enemies around as well as underwater or surfaced. Funny thing is, I still have sound!
I will keep going as long as possible and update if the problem re-occur.
Thanks for the "sound" hint
