What year did you tried? And with SH3 commander or not?
Personnaly I was getting ctd's with sh3 commander but without it it seems to be okay.
Have you tried compatibility mode? Windows Xp (Service pack2) and running with admin rights?
What OS are you using whats your computer specs?
For example my specs.
Intel i3 2120 3.30 Ghz
8gb ram
MSI GTX 750 2gb OC
Windows 7 bit 6
Please point out if I made any grammar mistakes
