Just a warning to those who use software to kill background processes while SH3 is running AND they use SH3Cmdr: pls make sure that you do not kill "SH3CTSR.exe". That (very small) file is required by SH3Cmdr to capture and send your bank account details to me, umm, I mean, it's required by SH3Cmdr to ensure that auto-rollback can occur, as it monitors SH3 and "prods" SH3Cmdr when you have exited the game.

If you kill it, then SH3Cmdr won't get the appropriate message when you quit the game, meaning that it won't auto-rollback (assuming the option is selected in the first place).

It will kill itself automatically after it "wakes up" SH3Cmdr.


And yes, I'm joking about the bank account thingy.
