Hi, I know this is resurrecting a long dead thread but I have to ask, did you get Steam to count your playtime when loading with SH3Commander?
If i load via Commander, steam doesn't detect the game as running so no playtime, and if i load via steam, it counts my playtime but i don't get the benefits of commander!
Occasionally, if i load SH3C up, THEN launch the game via steam, sometimes it says "launched via SH3 Commander" and sometimes it doesn't.
Though I have noticed that when it seems to load up via SH3C, upon quitting the game, there is no "rollback" option in commander which makes me think that commander has not integrated correctly even though it detects my Commander career save!
Is there any other way of confirming that SH3 commander has successfully integrated with my game other than the rollback feature being an option?
I know it is only a silly little thing having my playing time be counted, though I will use SH3 commander outside of steam if i have to to gain the benefits of using it, but i would be forever curious on how long i have been on patrol!
EDIT: I have found a workaround that seems okay for me.
Load SH3 via Commander and let it make the changes to the game.
Close SH3 and Commander ensuring the automatic rollback is unchecked.
Load SH3 via Steam and so far it seems to think it was loaded via Commander even though it wasn't!
My Commander career saves load up no problem and all seems to be well, also, it says "loaded via sh3 commander" on the main menu even though Commander wasn't even loaded!
