what the other commenter wrote in spanish worked for me on windows 11. I had the problem of "Access Violation".
here is translated intstructions:
Installation on Windows 10: 1) Download the game ISO (605 MB), Patch 1.16 (37 MB), Serials (277 b) 2) Install the game on the same disk where Windows is installed to avoid the "Access Violation" error. 3) Use serial 2PK8-R32A-YZKE-J29A (or any of those in the serial file (277 b). 4) Copy the patch 1.16 executable to the folder where the game was installed and patch the game from there. 5) With the game version at 1.16 go to "Gamecopyworld" and search for the crack "Terminator 3 v1.16 [ENGLISH] Fixed EXE" (940 Kb) 6) Copy the 1.16 crack where the game was installed and replace. 7) Create a profile and play normally

You can somehow edit bots, in some file, for example? It's just a horror of some kind: if you choose a mission, and in general, they are wildly stupid, they answer any question or task in the negative. What the ABCD...!? It's just infuriating!!!
By the way, I found a way to run the game on the tenth and eleventh windows.
If you share the way of editing game files, then I will share the launch of the game on Windows.
