SH3 via Steam - Compatible with GWX3, MFM, Comm etc?

[Lt.Fillipidis]

Hello everyone! Haven't been here for a while, hope you're all doing well!
Now, quick question:I bought a new laptop amidst my travels and since i haven't my SH copy with me, i've bought it off steam. Now is the Steam version compatible with GWX, MFM, SH Commander, JSGME and JFO? Im not sure if the Steam version is patched to 1.4 (also i can't find the DL link anywhere for this patch, i use a stored version on my PC), and also im not quite sure what is the 4GB patch and where to obtain it.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Steam copy and use GWX3, SHCommander, and JSGME. I have been playing SH4 for quite a while now but I am quite sure that Steam SH3 is 1.4 already. I don't think a downloaded patch would work on a Steam game anyway.

I can't vouch for the other mods on your list but I don't know of a reason they wouldn't be compatible. Finally, you're going to need to follow the procedure outlined in this thread to make it 4gb compatible:

The 4gb patches are designed for disc installs but you can manually make the .exe compatible.

I have the SH3 steam version myself.

I've been installing mods left and right without a problem. It's already patched to 1.4.
My list of mods include (Not limited to)
GWX 3.0
Merchant fleet mod
h.Sie patch/EXE Fixes (which replaces the exe, no problem.)

All via JGSME and SH3 Commander.

Why do you think the 4GT has anything to do with the way a program is shipped?

When I downloaded the 4gb patch it would not apply itself to the Steam version. I had to manually change the .exe. That's the basis for my claim and the extent of my experience with the issue.
