Just wanted to mention a solution to a problem I was having that I imagine some other folks might run into (if it's already been covered, my apologies!)

I was having some problems starting SH3 for Steam recently. The game would immediately crash on startup with no error reported. Loading the EXE file directly gave me an error prompt that read "The procedure entry point direct3dcreate9ex could not be located in the dynamic link library d3d9.dll"

This is apparently a common error for games that don't like you to have nVidia Experience installed. Since I had absolutely no use for it, I uninstalled it, and it now works just fine.
