Ya, I found a "workaround" I just had to transfer the contents of the SH3 folder from the clutches of steam into a Folder in the C: Drive. Success!
Much better/improved experience now, the interface is much better and more accessable. One question I do have: do you need to do any special command or anything when in say St.Nazaire and it has doors/lochs that seem to open whenever they please? Thank
