For the most part, I had no issues modding SH3 with Steam, but Commander did present some oddness that I can't really explain and decided not to troubleshoot because I knew I was going to go ahead and buy the download anyway.
The best way to put it was that it mostly worked, most of the time.
Best results came from making sure the Steam client was fully loaded, signed in, etc before launching SH3 through Commander. I got the impression that the delay caused by launching Steam caused some sort f timing issues with Commander doing what it does but YMMV of course.
Oddly enough, I never had a CTD or corrupted save running through Steam, but when I got the DL and applied the same mods both issues have raised their heads.
